Come to Colorado and we'll take a little hike up Mt. Elbert to 14,433 feet above MSL. Only place higher in the lower 48 is over by Chad on Mt. Whitney (14,495 if I remember right). I would recommend leaving the cigars and cigarettes behind as there'll be less than 60% of the oxygen available at sea level.

BTW, in the spirit of this thread, I thought I'd sing a little song:

It is a song from the 1950s or 1960s. I do not remember who sang it.

The song is called, funnily enough, They're coming to take me away Ha - Haaa!. It's from 1966 by a band called Napolean XIV. It was their only hit.

Insanity, from an expert!
 
Syd Barret, Founder, Pink Floyd 1946-2006
 
Jugband Blues
(Barrett) 2:59

It's awfully considerate of you to think of me here
And I'm much obliged to you for making it clear that I'm not here.
And I never knew the moon could be so big
And I never knew the moon could be so blue
And I'm grateful that you threw away my old shoes
And brought me here instead dressed in red
And I'm wondering who could be writing this song.

I don't care if the sun don't shine
And I don't care if nothing is mine
And I don't care if I'm nervous with you
I'll do my loving in the winter.

And the sea isn't green
And I love the Queen
And what exactly is a dream
And what exactly is a joke.

   Have fun with your trains

I don't know where I got it from.  When I was in high school a girl and I made a point of skipping down the hallway yelling it as loud as we could.  It had the desired effect of scaring people into thinking we were nuts.  I still don't know if this was good or bad.  (Me thinks good!) 

You think this is bad? Just wait until inflation kicks in.....
