The highest point in Michigan is 1,979 ft. above sea level (Mt. Arvon). The lowest point is around 500 ft. above sea level, so there's only 1,500 ft. of variance.

Sunflower KS [image\|http://www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/Lobby/3162/HiPlains/Sunflower/KSsunflower.jpg\|\|\|\|] In Colorado, it's a hobby to climb all the 14teeners, one of which is Mt. Evans. People wear T-shirts with their conquests marked off. For the non-mountaineering, I thought it would be fun to make a t-shirt that stated "I Climbed Mt. Evans". Mt. Evans is a 14teener right outside Denver. There is a road (Colo. 5) that goes almost to the top - there is a parking lot about 200 feet below the summit. So, the T-shirt would have a picture of the parking lot with the grueling 200ft climb to the summit marked as a dashed line, from some random car door all the way up the manicured path to the top. (BTW the view from the top, of Pike's Peak 50 mi south and Long's Peak about the same north, is awesome beyond words. If you're ever going through Denver, take a couple hours for the detour.) -drl

The hot shirt is "I jumped the Jet" (727) but we were going to make some that said "I jumped the Cessna" (always the last resort up).
