Hint - in Utah

Hope he's having fun (said with a tinge of envy).

ID the drainage going through the center of the map vertically (not the big one at the top, though you'll obviously need to know that, too)

Looks like you could get into trouble there if you didn't know how to swim.

LOL - good hint.

The east/west nature of the river is throwing me off.

 

[Rockskipper]

It turns and goes more southernly eventually.

And Udink's post above has a good hint. Took me awhile to get it. It refers to the wash, or "draw" if you will, not the bigger river.

A hole bunch of hints here.

Drowned Hole Draw!

Full confession, I figured it was along the San Rafael so I just caltopoed it until I found it. Does that count?

 

[Rockskipper]

Sure, I think about anything's legal when you're doing important stuff like this. @LarryBoy you're up.

I once spent several days Caltopoing Alaska for one of Ben's spots, only to find out it wasn't in Alaska. LOL

And I like that word.

Whatcha been doing all day?

Oh, you know, Caltopoing and stuff like that.

Seconded! I will say that random caltopo noodling has introduced me to a lot of cool places. Put together a really neat little route a while back in the...

...well, actually, we'll just use this as the spot. Guess it!

The mountains north and south of the lake have pretty apocalyptic names.

Thank so for the hint. White pine lake, Bear river mountains. I couldn't have remembered where they were off the top of my head, but names like Gog and Magog stick with you.

: ) you're up.

Hint: Not in Kansas.

Mount Sanford and Mount Drum. What map is this? A Natgeo? Comparing it to the 7.5" really threw me off.

 

[Rockskipper]

Weird. I opened Caltopo right to that but it looked different enough that I didn't guess it. Just a coincidence, but kind of an odd one.

You're up, Ben, nice work!

Yeah, I initially looked at and disregarded this, before coming back to it and realizing that I was just grossly misinterpreting the scale. I was looking on caltopo as well.

I'll have to post one tomorrow when I get home, I'm out of town for tonight.

And it's the 1:100,000 scale map.
