Guess the spot

[LarryBoy]

@LarryBoy got a spot?

Oh sorry, someone else can take it. Won't be back to BCP for a couple weeks as I'll be hiking

 

[MikeM]

If no one else wants to take it, I'll get the ball rolling again.

This isn't exactly "backcountry", but does anyone recognize this historical site?

 

[Outdoor_Fool]

Gates of the Rockies on the Missouri?

 

[MikeM]

You got it, Gates of the Mountains, as named by Meriwether Lewis.

Just to the left of this picture is also where the Mann Gulch fire happened. If you've ever read the book "Young Men and Fire" by Norman MacLean, this is where that story takes place.

You're up, @Outdoor_Fool !

Somewhere in Yellowstone?

 

[Outdoor_Fool]

It is, Liz, now narrow it down to just a few acres.

 

[Rockskipper]

Upper Snake River V.?

 

[Outdoor_Fool]

Upper Snake River V.?

Nope.

 

[Rockskipper]

Fawn Pass area? Can you tell I'm reading your TRs?

 

[Outdoor_Fool]

No TR yet on this 1-day hike.

 

[Rockskipper]

Did you drive all the way from FB for a one-day hike in Ystone?

Somewhere around the Hayden V.? Is that Y. Lake in the distance?

 

[Outdoor_Fool]

No, Shawna and the kids & I were there for 10 days in July to hang out with her brother.

Now you're closing the gap. Not Y'stone Lake.

 

[Rockskipper]

Are you looking towards Mt. Washburn?

 

[Outdoor_Fool]

Not at the moment.

In the picture...maybe.

 

[Rockskipper]

LOL Did you hike up Dunraven Peak?

I feel like an attorney interrogating a witness. "And you, Sir, where were you on that fateful night when the hotspot blew???"

 

[Outdoor_Fool]

No Dunraven.

I'm won't crack under pressure.

 

[Rockskipper]

Isn't just saying Yellowstone close enough?? Do you take bribes?

Observation Peak

 

[Outdoor_Fool]

No. Yes. No.

 

[Rockskipper]

OK, hang on while I drive up there to see if I can match your photo.
