Guess the spot

[Outdoor_Fool]

Hobgoblin National Park?

 

[Rockskipper]

Great guess!!! You're up, @Outdoor_Fool

 

[Outdoor_Fool]

It wasn't a guess, I went there a few times in college.

 

[Rockskipper]

I was surprised, as most people don't know about this national park that was designated by Jimmy Carter and never got funded. But you're up!

 

[Outdoor_Fool]

Now I don't know who's punking who. I refuse to be up.

 

[Rockskipper]

OK, you don't have to be up.

Let's see if anyone else can guess it by its current name as a fully-funded fairly new national monument.

 

[Jackson]

Gold Butte? Maybe Little Finland?

 

[Rockskipper]

You're up @Jackson

 

[Outdoor_Fool]

Why didn't they name it Hobgoblin??

 

[Rockskipper]

Not sure, but I think it had something to do with the Cuban Missile Crises.

And Jackson, you're up, whether you want to be or not.

 

[Jackson]

I figured everyone was getting tired of my exclusively SW Montana Guess the Spot contributions. Haha.

Let's try this one.
Tell me the name of the town in the canyon below.

 

[Rockskipper]

Melrose MT?

 

[Outdoor_Fool]

First glance, Absarokee.

 

[Jackson]

No one has it so far.

A hint is that no one lives there anymore. Except for one house on the very end, I think.

 

[Jackson]

Here's one that shows a bit more.

 

[ZLmtns]

I'll guess Bannack , MT. Looks like a cool place whatever it is.

 

[Jackson]

I'll guess Bannack , MT. Looks like a cool place whatever it is.

Yep! It's Bannack. You're up!

Edit: It's definitely worth seeing if you're in the general area, especially since you're allowed to go inside most of the buildings. Most have decayed quite a bit, but they're preserved well enough (since it's a state park) that you can still get a feel for what it was like living there 80-100+ years ago.

 

[ZLmtns]

@Jackson Yeah, I need to get up that way sometime.
Next ,who can identify this subrange of mountains?

 

[Rockskipper]

You're near Maple Pass in the N. Cascades

 

[ZLmtns]

@Rockskipper Not in the North Cascades
