So if you've always wanted to play marbles on the summit of Mt. Baldy but could never afford to purchase some for yourself, this is your big chance to make that dream come true. You simply need to score the most points--then pick up your prize and hike to Baldy.
Here's how the game works. I will post selfies, and you will try to figure out where I am. To be clear, there are only two rules governing my photo selections.
1. Part of my body is visible in the picture.
2. I took the photo while somewhere in the San Gabriel Mountains.
There are two ways to score points.
1. Identify my physical location
Name a particular location in the Gabes, such as Mt. Baldy, Eaton Saddle, Monte Cristo Campground, etc. Try to be as specific as possible. If you think I'm on a trail/route, give the name and describe the section of the trail/route. For example, you could guess that I'm on the Gabrieleno Trail between Red Box and Switzers, or you could give lat/long coordinates if you want to be precise with your guess.
The first person to get within five miles of my location earns a point. The first person to get within one mile earns a point. And the first person to guess my exact location (within a half-mile if I'm on a trail/route) earns a point. So it's possible for three different people to earn a point on one clue. But it's also possible for one person to earn all three points with one precise guess, if they figure out my exact location before anyone else gets close.
2. Describe my mental state
Based on my selfie, describe where you think I was mentally while taking the picture. My favorite response for each clue will earn a point.
That's it. I will post selfies until someone has 100 points and thus wins all the marbles. Good luck, you're going to need it. I'll post the first clue tomorrow at 5 PM.
