Guess where Western States

Mt. Diablo lighthouse...can see it from my house

We llived in CoCo for quite a few years, and my office was in Walnut Creek. I know I recognized the mountain, but I couldn't remember where or how.

Wild guess: San Juan Islands?

Dave

I won't say if it is or isn't. But any answer needs to be more specific than that, since I provided a big clue.

Ok. Friday Harbor.

 

[T_R_Oglodyte]

Ok. Friday Harbor.

Nope (harder than that)

Isn't that the hoodoos at Bryce Canyon.

Yupers !!

Isn't that the hoodoos at Bryce Canyon.

 

[DaveNV]

Nope (harder than that)

Then I have no idea. The picture didn't provide any clues that I recognized. Looked like too many sailboats to be any of the San Juan ferry stops, except for maybe SJ Island, which is why I guessed Friday Harbor. And since it's Western States, it shouldn't be in Canada (despite the Granville Island pic earlier.) Hopefully someone else will have a better guess.

Well, I will say that was taken from a Washington State ferry. That narrows it down. And it is not an obscure locale.

I think the geographic scope has expanded to include BC.. At first I didn't post BC pics, but after other people did, I started to as well. If we can do WA and Alaska, why not BC, IMHO?

I'm good with Canada pics, but I thought someone earlier said that it shouldn't be there. I'm good.

But in this case, I really don't have a guess, Steve. If Canada is on the table, and it's a WA State ferry, then your picture could be anywhere from Sydney, BC down to the southern end of Puget Sound, (Is that Vashon Island?)

As they say on Shark Tank, "For that reason, I'm out."

Granville Island, Vancouver B.C.

I should have known that. Been there many times. I thought it looked familiar.

Mt. Diablo lighthouse...can see it from my house

Yes. We could see it from our house as well when we lived in California.

This little cabin is really out of the way. The man who grew up here is why the cabin is semi-famous.

Arches

My favorite part was the stream that ran beside the cabin.

the family moved from Ohio after Civil War.

Need a clue I think but it looks like a fanny slide on a mountain trail on Mt Hood or Mt Adams.

Nope.

It's in New Mexico.

Or is it the sand dunes near Florence in Oregon?

Dave

My picture? No. New Mexico.

Is it White Sands National Park?

Is it Mt St Helens?

 

[chellej]

Orcas Island?

 

[Luanne]

Is it White Sands National Park?

You got it. Amazing place. And as you may, or may not be aware it's not really sand. It's gypsum and calcium sulfate.

Trinity site, where the atom bomb was tested is part of this, but nowhere close to this area.

 

[DaveNV]

My picture? No. New Mexico.

I saw that after I posted. No idea where it could be.

Sue1947 got it. It's White Sands.

 

[T_R_Oglodyte]

Orcas Island?

I assume you are referring to my pic from the ferry. Orcas is a good guess, nut no. I'll offer another hint. - it's not in the San Juans. It's on one of the routes out of Seattle.

 

[easyrider]

Is it Mt St Helens?

Yup. Mt St Hellens picture taken from the lunch counter on Mt Adams where we slept before summit. It was odd how the mountains change colors and St Hellens seemed to be floating.
