Inches, feet and miles were not enough to get us metric people in trouble? :-o
Valter
Ahh yes. A surveyer's chain. That makes sense thanks!
Karen
A chain is 66 feet so the altitude is 287.76 feet above sea level.
I know a bloke whose first job was a land surveyors assistant or chainman.
He got to carry the chain around, which he said was hard work.
See Gunters Chain in your Wikipedia for how the chain was deployed
Mike .
Me neither! 😃
6 years agoI didn't know chains were used to measure elevation! Interesting.

Shoot! Now the pressure is on to not have a crappy journal ;-)
Thanks everyone!
Karen...it was so nice to meet you and share a few stories! Safe travels.

Here is a link to Cycle 365 I posted about meeting you. You are a Celebrity after all!

Hi Karen, you have become a bit famous for me, especially after I read Heidi Ho. Anyone who has met Leo Woodland qualifies as famous, just by having fame rub off. That makes me famous too!
But I found it amusing to see you cruising through the territory of famous in their own right Janet and Jack. I think it's cool that Janet found you before you had slipped completely by and up to Big Sur. It's getting a little dated now, but this page https://www.cycleblaze.com/journals/coastalgrampies/seaside-to-big-sur-california/
begins with our own Jack and Janet photo.
