Guess Where?

“speaking of rock formations - where is this one:
”

“On the AT somewhere I presume”

“I wouldn't take that for granite...”

“well the white blaze is rather obvious so yeah its on the AT”

“the firetower pic I posted is of the Mount Sterling firetower

the rock formation is within 50 miles of Damascus VA on the AT”

“im going to guess Rhododendron Gap near Grayson for HOI's pic”

“further south than Rhodo Gap

last hint - its named after a type of bird”

“I'll let someone else get that one - its pretty easy if you have hiked the AT”

“Those pine trees look like ones next to Dragon's Tooth.”

“ its pretty easy if you have hiked the AT

I've hiked the AT and I got it wrong. The problem is I've hiked the whole thing, so I've seen A LOT of rocky outcrops, especially in New England.

How about we play 20 questions. Is it in the Smokies?”

“btw, snoweater is correct. my favorite spot on the AT outside of New England”

“ its named after a type of bird

buzzard rock?”

“yes - its buzzard rocks”

“Nice, I had no idea”

“i cheated a little. i thought of the place but couldnt think of the name, so i got out my map. but at least i knew which map to go to, so i get at least half-credit?”

“

name the mountain and body of water”

“too easy - let Bunny Boiler answer this one

“not easy to everyone”

“Looks like the ADK's to me, but I don't think it is”

“sorry, B.S. further north”

“Baxter state park?”

“yessir

you should have no problem naming the mountain, now. body of water?”

“Katahdin, now for that body of water.......”

“Is it Katadhin lake perhaps?”

“Half Dome in Yosemite?”

“Yes, too easy lol”

“I think Katahdin lake is on the other side of Katahdin from this view”

“katahdin, yes
katahdin lake, no”

“btw, so glad you said "katahdin" and not "mt. katahdin." HATE it when people do that.”

“Okay, the park and location might be too easy - so name the 11,000 foot mountain in the background.

”

“I'm going to guess that is a salt flat - too flat for anything else so location is probably something like Death Valley or Bonneville. If location is Death Valley I'm going to guess the peak is Telescope Peak but this is a real wild ass guess. If the location is Bonneville then maybe one of the high peaks in the Deep Creek Range like Red Mountain”

“BS - my guess for the Katahdin pick is Daicey Pond which is where the pic I posted was taken from

now for one that should be real easy for TTers to get:

”

“HOI nails it again - that is indeed Telescope Peak”

“the Colorado River?”

“The Grand Canyon?”

“yes, and yes. but more specifically, the rock formation”

“this one is a nice non-technical scramble from the side

“Plateau Point”

“the first one I mean, Crash”

“Plateau Point is correct!”

“hint on my pic - I am dead certain toejam could name this place”

“Is it Mt. Rainier? (HOI's Pic)”

“You had to hose up the thread and give away the answer. There's only one 29er - Chomolungma.


One of my Rainier guides works Mt. Everest. His stories were fascinating. Dispelled the myth of it being easy in any way.”

“BS - not just the name of the mtn - the name of the particular gap shown on the pic

“I know there's only one tj, that was the idea”

“I figured that HOI, but I have no idea”
