Josephine Strawberry Condor Lukens (from Mendenhall I think)

While you're pondering TK's riddle, what am I looking at here?

I didn't cheat, but you might want to check the filenames before posting

Curse you Elwood.

It's west.

Close. I had to do quite a bit of map fiddling to make sure, but Josephine is hiding!

L to R: Strawberry, Lawlor (behind, right of Strawberry), Condor (midground), Lukens. The unofficially named 'Fox' Peak is just visible over Condor's shoulder (between Lawlor and Condor). View is from Iron Mountain Saddle on Mendenhall Ridge.

Ok, so my first pic was just a test to see if anyone was paying attention.

I've taken the training wheels off (I think) so y'all can't cheat.

Where am I and what am I looking at?

Good one, Rico. I'll answer if nobody else gets it within 24 hours.

Looks like Silver Mtn. from 2,843.

Cucamonga from Smith Ridge or thereabouts

Post by **HikeUp** » Thu Jan 16, 2020 6:34 pm

I agree with David R. Mt. islip in the background just left of center.

Post by **Uncle Rico** » Thu Jan 16, 2020 7:28 pm

Yes Sir David R.

Silver from 2843 it is.

You up.

Post by **Sean** » Thu Jan 16, 2020 7:36 pm

Since you don't upload pictures, David, I suggest describing a peak in 700 words or less.

Post by **HikeUp** » Thu Jan 16, 2020 7:43 pm

I'm out. 500 is my limit.

Post by **Sean** » Thu Jan 16, 2020 7:55 pm

Damn, the title says "Visual Trivia." Nevermind the essay. Can you paint?

Here you go, what dis?

Edit: To add to difficulty this is a Los Padres peak but I know some of you have been on it via Trip Reports.

No clue David.

Cecelia got it first try from memory: Antimony! I had to look it up.

Yep it has a very distinct escarpment with the old road going up it. Impressive construction to get to a mine.

This is one of my favorite peaks in Los Padres.

Here's an easy one for those of you who haven't guessed any correctly.

Name the peak in the picture and name the peak I'm standing on.

Looking a lot like Telegraph from Thunder.
