You must be by First Water then.

Yep. Another point for you.

Rattlesnake and you're thinking you're "Pfft, I can do this all day long."

Ross, and despite the self-satisfied look; "this was a lot easier when I was in my twenties".

Precisely, three points for you. Plus a fourth for getting close to my mental state. After posturing on Ross, I ran out of water heading back up Baden-Powell and my hands started going numb. I think I would have fared better in my twenties.

Mt. Burnham. "Damn I'm thirsty!"

Nope. Did I fool you because I'm wearing the same outfit I wore on Ross? Burnham, however, is within five miles, so one point for you. But it's too far east. Also, I had plenty of water on this hike.

Copter Ridge thinking "Fresh!"

Throop; thinking about getting into Cecelia's DeLorean and messing with SGMDF members' heads in the future.

Mt Islip

Here's a hint. It has some interesting artifacts on top, and, like it's name-twin, is quite distinguished.

Hmm, that sounds like Mt Williamson.

BTW
Rule #1 states part of your body will be visible.
Last two pics are not selfies and show your entire body.
Stick to the rules!

Day hike or overnighter? The big change that I noticed in hiking it now versus my last time 10 years ago, is the amount of positivity, most of the hikers are really stoked to have been able to get a permit and are "keep it up", "you're almost there", "congratulations" it had a really good vibe. Conversations started up very naturally with strangers, make sure to have your permit with you as I did get stopped by the ranger.

Day hike and thanks.
I need all the encouragement I can get.

I don't want to get off the main topic of this thread otherwise Sean will get mad lol.

Correct, two points for you! And one honorary point for Tom--for the hint.

Nobody got close to my mental state for that one. I was thinking about cheese butter on a big potato at North Woods Inn.

Oak Mountain and you're thinking about which Mexican Beer is better Tecate, Dos Equis, or Negro Modelo.

Perfect. I'm on Mt. Lowe (originally Oak Mtn.) with Bear Canyon in the background and Mexican beer on the mind. I prefer Carta Blanca or Corona, but Modelo is okay. Modelo, by the way, is the beer of choice for Mexican farmers in the Gabes.

Four points for you!

You're on the 3 Ts trail wondering whether you left your car lights on.

Not the 3Ts but you're within five miles. One point for you! And I'm not worried about my car lights. It's basically impossible to leave them on now because of the warning bell.

Ice House canyon trail on the way to three tees

Mt. San Antonio, realizing that you can sport a Speedo on the trail just as well as the kids from the 5Cs.

One point for you! There's still a point for anyone who guesses the spot within a half-mile.

Kids from the 5Cs?

You are on Ski Hut just after you climb up the steep section on to the ridge. You're looking down into Goode Canyon as I climb right through those bushes when I make the wrong turn off.
