Where am I ?
On What Colorado Peak will you find this USGS marker?

Looks like Sangres rock...
In too good of condition for a 14er, I think...

Re: Where am I ?
None of the "Dry BM"s on LoJ look very exciting, but the one in Gunnison County (8194') near where 149 breaks off from 50 has the most prominence.

I should have said "No googling!!"

Well, at least I had the right range before I went beyond the USGS database and headed over to Gaggle.
What do I win? Maybe a look at another one of your photos from that climb?

Re: Where am I ?
I got on to late. I knew the answer because I knew what you were climbing yesterday.

Re: Where am I ?
A. It could not have been yesterday. I had to stay home from work yesterday; I needed be away from school until I felt better. Today, I feel better.
B. Bill, I'll send something. It was too much of me to expect a guy who makes a living on the internet not to use the internet.
C. The change. When and why?? BTW- I don't know.

Re: Where am I ?
Steve, There's no way this could be from Mt. Adams. You called in sick yesterday. You were at home with the flu. You were at home grading Algebra finals with the flu. The photo must have come from a previous trip, or swiped from the Internet. Also, when I was on Mt. Adams earlier this year, the benchmark looked nothing like that.sgladbach wrote:A.

I must have been mistaken. This picture was from last weekend. Steve was sick yesterday. There is NO WAY he was climbing Adams when he was supposed to be educating our youth.
