Nope. That's Taco looking for condor eggs for breakfast.

It's the dang road that connects Gobblers Knob and Lone Pine Cyn Rd.

That's all I could think of there. Prolly got the quote a bit off.

what peak is ahead?

West Twin?

nej

Throop?

I'd say PVR.

close, but no cigar

Which one is close, Throop or PVR?

I still think it's somewhere along PVR even if it isn't the HPS high point. My second guess would be the unnamed peak (Point "A" on the above linked map) between Mt. Williamson's summit block and Pallett Mountain. If not "A," then "B" (Pallett Mountain itself).

HJ

it's A, nice job! bonus points for you since I had a brain fart thinking this summit was named Williamson and not the lower point to the SE, 8214'

I think I might still be off a bump, but I thought it was somewhere on PVR. Really nice XC hiking country.

Where did you go on that particular day? Was this a loop from West Williamson trailhead over PVR to Burkhart Saddle, then up and out through Buckhorn? Before the frog closure, that loop used to be shorter because one could go up and out through Eagles Roost.

west trailhead - williamson all the way to Will Thrall and PVR (next bump) and back! I had some people stopping on Pallett, so we did out and back. Shoulda done a loop.

Yeah, if you've got the energy to go all the way to the HPS designated point on the western side of PVR, a loop should be pretty doable. Save you from re-climbing all that stuff on the way back.

If you were ever wanting to do a loop in that area again, you could start at the west Williamson trailhead, head west, descend via Goodykoontz Peak (13K on the HPS list) to the Burkhart Trail, and then exit via Buckhorn.

yes I have yet to climb Goodykoontz...eventually, although for now got a little UFF on my mind!

HJ, your turn, post a pic!

My turn? Uh, OK, where am I and what's the peak behind me?

HJ

Everest?

Seriously... not sure, but I think your in the San Berdoos.

Not quite Everest.

No, not the San Berdoos. This is a San Gabs forum, so I limited myself to a San Gabs location.

Good eye, Taco. And where am I?

Heading down to Prairie Fork in Vincent Gulch...?

Good guess, but not quite right.

How's about Copter Ridge, w/ Ross between you and Iron?

Somewhere on the Fish Fork side of Pine Mtn. Ridge.

A worthy area, but not quite the one I was in that day.

You, sir, are extremely, extremely close.
