RF - longer tx/rx range?

Hello all. I've been looking over Parallax's new RF range, and while it's all
very cool, it got me thinking about a project that would require a little more
range. I live at the foot of the Rocky Mountains, in Boulder, Colorado. Just a
ways to the west is a series of foothills, with summits ranging from about 6800
feet to well over 8000 feet. A couple of these summits are within a couple
miles of my house, with a clear line-of-sight. What I'd like to do is build a
few small stamp-based, solar powered temperature loggers, with the ability to
retrieve data via RF.

Can anyone direct me to where I might learn more about incorporating
longer-range RF data collection into my project?

    I have sets of transceivers coming in from both companies but haven't got to
    hook them up yet.

    Although not cheap, we've been able to get 70 miles out of these...
