i am not...
|
are you north of Fairbanks?
|
uh, no...
|
are you at the southern-most point in Alaska, at the tip of Amatignak Island in the Aleutian Chain?
|
|
you don't have to yell, I was just making a guess :(
Are you on Bligh Reef where in 1989 the Exxon Valdez ran aground and dumped its oil? In spite of a law mandating the operation of an automated navigation light to prevent future collisions with the reef, the tug Pathfinder ran aground on Bligh Reef on Dec 24, 2009, rupturing its tanks and spilling diesel fuel. Bligh Reef is also where Alaska Steamship Company's Olympia ran aground in 1910. It seems best to stay away from Bligh Reef except maybe in a kayak and even then, make sure you have a tight cover on your coffee mug. |
i am staying away from bligh reef...
and that was not a "yell," just a neat pic i found (and i'll probably use it again...) |
The "NO" didn't really bother me, unc. I was just pretending to be sensitive with feelings. It really didn't phase me and I don't give a crap if you post it again or not...well, actually I wouldn't mind seeing it. You know I like pics.
So are you at a "natural" place vs. "man made"? ...like park vs city sort of thing? |
i am at a "natural" place...
and, just for shits and giggles... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...omments/no.jpg |

Are you on a mountain in a national park?

|

|
Near Juneau?
|

|
are you on Devil's Paw?
|
nope, can't even find that on a map...
|
I'm not sure if I'm suddenly inspired or insane. But I figure you were at Tits not long ago, so maybe this time you're at Brassiere Hills. Hmmm? Brassiere Hills
unc, did you read this book: Monmonier, Mark S. From Squaw Tit to Whorehouse Meadow: How Maps Name, Claim, and Inflame. 2006. |
nope, north of juneau; and no, i haven't read that book - yet...
|
gunsight mountain?
|
nope...
i know i said i'm on a mountain, but my name is a "peak..." |
Kate's Needle?
|
no...
|
Amherst Peak?
|
nope...
|
Any sort of clue about this mountain? Is it over 5,000 ft?
|
a clue might help
I looked through a list of Alaskan peaks and ignoring the ones that are in a national park or preserve, I didn't find any in the location I'm looking north of Juneau. |
Summit in Juneau County, Alaska, USA.
Latitude: 58.81667 : Longitude: -134.26667 : Elevation: 6800 ft |
Well that's a pretty good clue, unc ;)
So my guess above of Brassiere Hills was sort of the right idea but wrong conclusion. I await your confirmation that you're on Mammary Peak. |
i am on mammary peak...
Mammary Peak, Juneau, AK - Google Maps Mammary Peak (in Juneau Borough, AK) you're up, nick... |
You must be a die hard tit man, unc. I'll need a bit of time to find my next place.
|
OK, where in the world am I this time?
...not up the creek without a paddle << that's not a clue, I'm just saying |
