This has been part of a massive background effort to do an "all in one" feature map.  It's still in progress, but click on this [linkie] and open where the map stands right now in a new window.  It's huge at 1.4mb, but skating around on it for a while has its rewards.

Later.

Hi David,

Well, I've caught up to the current page of 3RR. Great maps, I too find them to be what some would call a strange hobby.

Hope all is well in the world and that the pesky "day job" that pays "money" isn't getting in the way of 3RR.

Cheers,
Kevin

A couple of you have commented on the place and feature names I use.  I, ummmm... draw those from many different sources.  Here's a list of mountains and peaks from the western portion of the Northern Range followed by a scrambled list of sources.

Now, some of these are obscure or personal to the point of impossibility.  My muse is pretty eclectic (and that's putting it mildly).  But, by process of elimination, someone should be able to get pretty close.  Post your guesses (if you dare)- who knows what treats will come to the reader who gets it right!

I've used the new table option jeronij has set up for us [linkie].  Pretty nifty, eh?

I bought a new camera- a Canon 30D, and broke it in by taking some pics on the way home from work yesterday.

Alaska is a pretty nice place to live (in the summertime, anyway!).  If you ever want to visit, don't forget you've got a friend up here.

Later.

EDIT:  I'm getting asked by PM for hints- so this doesn't go on for days, I'll note how many are wrong at the bottom of each entry.  This one has one wrong, and is incomplete.  -DE

[Pat]

David you are just sooooooooooo mean i tried and tried looking at the list i can pick out only a few...
You so remind me of Robin Williams...    That im sneaky and gonna attack way lol...

• black cone__Dropped my ice cream on the asphalt
• sparrow pk__Captain Jack ___
• Whitehouse Pk__"Tear down this wall!"
• Churchlady Mtn__"How con-veeeeeeee-ni-ent!"
• Owen's Mtn__An Aussie luby

• Crazy Mtn__"I would have, too"
• Mt Louis__Not Clark's companion
• Reagan Mtn__Directed by...
• Moose Tooth Mtn__Anchorage pizza place

Well thats the best i can do i wonder how bad i messed up what i got???



EDIT:  This one has four wrong, and is incomplete.  -DE

[callagrafx]

 A couple more:

Curry Mtn => Dr. Frank'nfurter (Rocky Horror reference)
Broken Mtn => "It's not just my back..." (Brokeback Mountain)
Ford Pk => Arthur's friend (Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy)
Sunday Mtn => A place to rest (?)
Whiskey Pk => neat (oh yes indeed)
Ransom Pk => "kings ___" (13th Century reference)
The Spur => equine incentive

Pics look great David, the camera handles the contrast well (shot 11)


EDIT:This one has none wrong, but is incomplete.  Nice details, Lee!  -DE

[dedgren]

Ahh, we're getting a few takers.

Most so far are correct- there's a few wrong, though.  You can try as many times as you would like, just no editing of old posts, please.  I'll be watching for that first completely correct list.

Have a great day- weekend's coming up!


David
