Guess Where?

“Guess the place of the popular hiking trail or destination. Can't be to obscure, have to give people a sporting chance.

What state is this trail sign in?

”

“New York?”

“ooh fun! I'm gonna guess Pennsylvania based on the distances to Maine and Georga”

“bit wins. Took a minute of searching to make sure this wasn't on a border (I thought it might be a trick question!), but both Fingerboard and Wildcat shelters are in NY.

So, are internet searches considered cheating?”

“The internet IS my Brain...that explains all the perverted thoughts that keep running around in it....:-)”

“I was ever so happy on my first hike from Cosby CG, when I reached Low Gap at the Appalachian Trail and saw the sign there.

Another time was while hiking up Mt. Fuji on the Gotemba Trail in the fog, when we reached a sign to help us along the way to the top.”

“i didnt look at the other answers, im going with new york”

“did it with no internet searching. and yes, internet searching is cheating, or else what is the point of the game. who can google the quickest?”

“this is in harriman state park. bear mt. and lemon squeezer were the clincher. i hated the lemon squeezer. PITA. and palisades parkway is by far the worst road crossing on the A.T.”

“guessing the state shouldnt be too hard. can you guess the name of the mountain?”

“New York was right for the first one. That sign is at the junction of the Long Path and the AT in Harriman State Park”

“I guess that one is too hard?how about this?





Name the shelter and state”

“This sucks. You came up with a great game but now no one wants to play.

I'm sure I've seen that shelter. I'll have to give it some thought. Any of you cheaters decide to go look it up, please don't post.

“Reminds me a bit of Ed Garvey at the southern border of MD, but it isn't.”

“Ok hint...initials of the shelter are WP”

“Crash, where was your picture, I wanted to say Colorado, but I have no idea”

“Colorado, yes. It is one of the famed 14'ers.”

“WP.......is it a new shelter? it looks like a new shelter”

“CB, is that Long's Peak?”

“nope

think: Knife Edge

“balls, that's the only peak in CO I know of...”

“surely you've heard of pikes peak (the picture is not pikes peak)”

“ah yeah... that one too”

“since no one else wants to play, and i couldnt come up with the answer, i got out my wingfoot. is it william penn?

that's kind of an obscure one, actually. i think a lot of ppl pass it by in favor of the relative luxury of 501”

“Yes it's William Penn, in PA. very nice shelter with a loft and an upstairs window”

“Is that picture capital Peak?”

“What is this famous place

”

“Capitol Peak is correct.

Is that Mt. Washington? Just a guess - never been there.”

“Yes, that's the Mt. Washington observatory”

“Where is this lookout


”

“Clingman's Dome in the Smokys?”

“Yes!”

“Ok here is one for you:

”

“I've been up many fire towers, but I need help with this one”

“big hint - its in the Smokys and not on the AT”

“the inspiration for the creation of the A.T. came here”

“Vermont? is it on the AT?”

“yes and yes”

“I suck at this..”

“Moving west a bit... what famous natural bridge is this?

”

“Damn, I knew the Mt. Washington pic, but too late...”

“Stratton Firetower?


further hint on first firetower - its on the BMT”

“Rainbow Bridge NM in Utah I think”

“It's in Canyonlands I think, can't remeber the name..”

“angels rest?”

“stratton firetower. that is correct, HOI”

“Hog on Ice nailed it, it's Rainbow Bridge”
