Guess the spot

[Nick]

Ha! That would require reading what I wrote, Ben! Okay, my vote is that more is better. If anyone wants to start one up, go for it, or I can have the official BCP account do it.

The only trouble with opening it up to Denmark, for instance, is that no one will be able to guess the spot and it will sit there, frustratingly out of reach, tantalizing, torturing us...

 

[Nick]

Yep. I'd be totally screwed. That's why it's just been the maps and this one so far. FWIW, I would definitely say Alaska and Hawaii are legit in this thread. I'm pretty sure we've even had one or two international posts somewhere in the 2,385 so far.

Why not just start another thread titled: Guess the spot - International edition?

you got it Art , you're up. nice job, i'm impressed.

Don't be too impressed... I've been around the block, er.. mountain, a time or two. I've been to that exact spot three times and even had lunch on that rock outcropping. You should post a pic of the view of Exit Glacier 90 deg. to the right to show everyone why we both went there.

You know @Michael started this trend of harder-is-better by posting that picture of a COTTONWOOD TREE!

OK, Nicholas moved my new pic to the new Guess the Spot International Edition so I will pick out a new pic for this thread too.

that spot did get me thinking...



and here you go Art. i don't have any pictures of the glacier that i was very happy with the framing of. so here's a handful to give the idea.
along the trail.





the Harding Icefield, for ever to the horizon.


the only real way to appreciate it is a pano, but you'll have to zoom in on it and scroll across.


most worth while three mile trail i've yet enjoyed.

 

[Artemus]

So, I request, if you post something that is hard - Great! But please accept that fact and return to the thread often and see if we need a hint or two or are stumped.

Exactly, Ben! Thanks. I aspire to cross the Harding Icefield from that spot all the way to the south near Homer AK and came close to doing that sometime back with a Homer friend. An entire north to south traverse. THAT will be a trip report.

 

[Ben]

^i'll hold you to that

how close did you come, Art

 

[Artemus]

Alright, this won't shouldn't be too obscure but I will stop back often just in case.

 

[Ben]

golden cathedral?

Long and interesting story Ben. I'll tell you by PM or when you show up to work out the Alaska bike ride

 

[Artemus]

golden cathedral?

Bingo Benito. That took a whole 11 minutes. What you got?

 

[Ben]

i got nothin. i'm all used up.

so.... i'm pretty sure more than half of every one's been here.

 

[Henk]

Alright, this won't shouldn't be too obscure but I will stop back often just in case.

All the real easy ones seem to be posted at times i'm usually dreaming about these places.

@ben cowan looks like Coyote Gulch? But the tree is throwing me off

 

[Ben]

@Seldom Seen Anderson
