Also, thank you VERY much for correctly spelling "Marys Peak" (sans apostrophe). Yeah, it looks weird, and I botched it myself for a long time. This odd spelling stems from the fact that, in 1890, the U.S. Board on Geographic Names stopped using possessive apostrophes in place names so as not to show/denote ownership of geographic features.
Thanks Greg...

I copied the spelling from their little handout brochure.. :)
