Maine Photo Quiz

We haven't had one of these lately, so I thought it would be all right if I took a crack at one. My apologies to the originator of the photo-quiz idea.

Where was each of the following photos taken?

No 1:



No. 2:



No. 3:



No. 4:



No. 5:



No. 6:



No. 7:



No. 8:



No. 9:



No. 10:

3 looks like Hamlin.

#10 - could that be Doubletop looking from the north to the south peak?

BTW: beautiful photos, one and all.

#6 is Cupsuptic Snow


I'll go by the "guess only one" rule.

9 is Angel Falls
8 is possibly the plane crash on Lincoln Pond Road, near Deer Mtn
5 may be W. Kennebago
4 could be Firewarden's Trail on Bigelow (wild guess)

Gah, I saw #2 recently, so I know approximately where it is, but I'm not going to steal it from someone who may know specifically. Apparently I didn't get a picture of it like I thought....

#1 looks like Saddleback

#7 looks like Redington

8 is the plane crash on Fort.

#5 looks like Kibby

West Kennebago is also a good guess but I haven't been there since 2000 and I don't remember it that well. Guess I need to go back and get the North Peak while I'm there.

Of course a lot of ME towers were built to standard plans

I say it's not Kibby because it has antennae and a good platform

W Kennebago still had a full cab the 2 times I was there but maybe it's gone now

Mt Blue?

Not Blue, bottom steelwork is wrong.

I vote Kibby too. That platform with a hole in it and the straight-up ladder. The platform was OK a few years back and the antenna? Who knows they appear just about everywhere.

I just got back on here; sorry for the delay.

Kibby is correct. The canister jar was apparently in pieces at the foot of the ladder. I didn't even notice it, and my son didn't mention it until after we'd gone down. We still had Mount Snow to climb that afternoon, so we didn't bother going back up just to look for a register.

Tom was correct with his identification of Hamlin for No. 3, and Papa Bear was right on the money for Doubletop for 10. Marc had Cupsuptic Snow correct for 6 and Marty was right with Angel Falls for No. 9, but wrong on his other guesses. Pamola had the correct plane crash.

No. 2 is kind of intermittent, so jniehof, you may know it, if you care to guess. That picture was taken in 2003, but I had to do my best to rebuild it in 2006, as all the cairns were gone.

No 1 is not Saddleback and No. 7 is not Redington.

I should have added thanks to Papa Bear for his nice compliment, and that my son and I climbed Kibby after I read about it on Papa’s Web page. Haven’t gotten to Caribou yet, so I hope it’s not the higher mountain.

Caribou is a nice peak. You only have to whack about 10 yards to get from the ATV trail to the canister at the tippy top. A very pretty grassy logging road gets you there.

Nice to see people are chasing the FF list. Some nice stuff there I never would otherwise have visited. And wasn't it just yesterday I read someone did Baker? Good going.

Edit: It was buckeyball1 who did Baker. here.

#1 looks to me as if I am looking at Cadillac at the back left. Maybe its taken on Gorham?

Number 4 maybe somewhere on the Marston Brook Loop-(North Brother, South Brother, Coe).

Could be the Marston trail at the steep spot above Small Pond.

We were just there and I don't remember that ... I think #4 is the trail to the Owl.

Nadine and nartreb have No. 4. I didn't know the name of that pond, but I'd say that's exactly correct. Michaelj, if you did the loop clockwise, you wouldn't have noticed the scene unless you happened to turn around at the right time. I've never done all four peaks on the loop, but I've come down the Marston Trail three times now, and that October day there was real nice backlighting through the yellow leaves.

Picture No. 2 was also taken on the Marston Trail, farther down, near one of the stream crossings. I guess the cairn village has disappeared again, or you would have seen it, Michael. I don't recall if it was there in 1997, but I have an idea that it was. The picture was taken on October 1, 2003, the same day as No. 4. When I returned in 2006 to bag Fort, the cairns were gone. I rebuilt a few of them with what stones I could find.

Chipc is in the right neighborhood for No. 1. Most of the terrain in the picture is under 1000 feet elevation.

No. 7 is not on the usual lists, just the 3000-footer ones. No longer on the threatened-by-a-wind-farm list, I understand.
