Does anyone know the GPS numbers for Last Stand Hill? Perhaps I'm getting cranky in my old age, but the following e-mail hit me wrong: where did the action take place, be specific That was it. No "hello," no "thanks," just the command to be specific. Oh course, I need to follow this person's command, so I would appreciate some suggestions for an appropriate response. |

Diane,
I never clicked on the monument, because I can't detect there, BUT, using the map in my GPS, the monument is at:
N 46 Degrees 44' 24.6"
W - 105 Degrees 25' 48.8"
That should make the Inquirer Happy!
Jim

I know I should ignore them but, when I redesigned the site, I promised myself that I would answer every query. It is amazing how demanding and rude nameless strangers can be. As you know, Bob, that was a mild example compared to some we get from the public. That person and I are still exchanging e-mails. The last one I got said simply, "name." I wrote back, "rank." It's stupid, but I'll keep going with the nonsense as long as she does. It gets to be a mind game.
