I was just ribbing you. In the winter, when we live in Florida, my next
door neighbor is a building contractor from Brockville, Ontario... on the
St. Lawrence River in the 10,000 Islands area. I've never, ever heard him
mention a metric measure and his measuring tape is assuredly not metric.
But he is 72 and grew up that way. I can count by 2s, 8s, 10's or 16s but
really do prefer inches, feet and miles for most things except lenses, of
course. :-)

Feet and / or meters for land elevations ................. helps to
accommodate those few who have difficulty with a base 10 measuring system.
Does the US keep exclusively with miles, yards, feet and inches because
too many people have trouble grasping base 10 :-)

I thought you guys up there had given up on feet as a measure. :-)

This reminds me of a logging road in south eastern British Columbia we
drove up in mid summer 1995 and seen here:

*The logging road was in active use ...... big 40 wheelers with upwards
of 150,000 pound loads ....... during our drive up the hill in our
diesel VW Jetta.
Total elevation gain from the highway to the parking lot's look out was
>5,600 feet.
