Hmph. That's not far enough away to see the outline of the mountain.

Looks vaguely like Winston Ridge.

What? Is this really that much of a stumper?

Goodykoontz, from Pallett?

Post by **Hikin_Jim** » Mon Aug 02, 2010 10:20 am

Dang. Obviously not a stumper.

Yes, Goodykoontz. No, not from Pallet. This was shot from "across the way" on Thrall.

Took me awhile to figure that one out.

Well, I'm not 100% sure, but that looks like the Glendora Ridge Road on the ridge in the mid distance of the photo. If that were true, then you'd be further east.

Ross?

Hmm. Well, I'm pretty sure it's middle high country.

Not E. Twin, not Islip, not Ross.

Throop is open and rocky like what's in the photo, although I don't think it drops off like that to the south. Hawkins doesn't have that much area. I don't think B-P looks like that on top. Definitely not Waterman.

Could be Burnham; haven't been over that way for a while. Maybe Middle Hawkins but I haven't been over there in years and years, so dunno about that.

Hmm. Now Williamson is rocky like that on top. OK, Zé, my next somewhat educated guess: Williamson.

I'm inclined to agree with Hikin Jim. Triplets' ridge, Smith Mountain, but what looked like GRR confuses me.

Post by **HikeUp** » Tue Aug 03, 2010 9:50 am

Definitely Hawkins.

Elwood · Post by **Elwood** » Tue Aug 03, 2010 10:29 am

Of course. I amaze myself with my dumbassedness. I took this from South Hawkins two frakkin weeks ago!

Isn't Hawkins too small on top? I guess we'll see what Zé says.

I think there are some piles of rocks sorta between where they keep the register and where Copter Ridge really begins to descend to the south/southeast. That'd be Rattlesnake Peak in the near distance.
