But around 60 miles east west in width. Mountains, ocean on all sides and great Salmon fishing. ;-) And it takes forever to drive top to bottom as it usually makes for a two day trip. Well OK a day and half if you don't run into lines of logging trucks and mule skinner wagons. ;-) And yes I've photographed it top to bottom, around and across with Leica's several times. Actually I understand the United Kingdom isn't as big top to bottom. ;-) ted
