Where is this?
- Thread starter Teegate
- Start date
My moms newspaper gets thrown at the end of the driveway so I go there in the mornings first before heading out to the barrens. She sometimes is up when I get there and I stop in for a visit but this morning she did not open the door. So I was out way too early to the barrens this morning and had to sit in my car to wait for sunlight. Once I could see I headed here and found this. Where is it? Take notice a beaver took a toy car for a joyride and stopped in at the lodge for a visit.
I merged three photo's.

I remember seeing a couple of those cars near Webb's Mill by Sweetwater run, so Webb's Mill is close by.
My final guess is the next bridge. Otherwise I'm stumped. Or, it could be the sand road crossing upstream of my last guess.
No that is not it. That bridge has some damage to it and for a while they had it taped off. But everyone kept going over it anyway. The board is just loose.
You are getting cold. You were much warmer the last time and the flow was on track.

If this guess is correct, I'll be out there with a rake and pitchfork!
I'd like to codify the alternate suggestion I gave in post #688 into a visual representation of where I mean. This is now my final guess.
Guy, nobody got my photo of the mountain with huge sandstone. Why don't you go ahead and reveal it so we can move on.
Back on 10/31/2004 Ben, Bob, Jessica and myself along with a few other members of the site at the time went looking for Paint Island Springs and Lahaway. Along the way we visited this hill that Bob posted the photo of.

The rocks were huge there.
Ben was later able to successfully find Paint Island Springs along Lahaway creek.
I think the name for the hill is Tabor Mountain or the Ivory Tower. It is a good example of invert topography. Iron-rich muck formed in an old river bottom. The river dried up several million years ago as the iron-rich muck hardened into ironstone. Now the river bottom was harder than the old banks, which being softer eroded away. The softer banks wasted away while the the ground beneath the hard capped land remained intact. This is a subtle badlands landscape, where ironstone boulders slowly travel down slope as the ground beneath them wastes away, in large part during permafrost thaw events.

Thank you for everyone's input.
The place looks so much like Jemima Mount.
BTW, our original thread is still on the site even though most of the photo's no longer work.
