@Philippe (http://www.bogley.com/forum/member.php?u=2880) - You got it! Two Pines Arch in the east Zion area.

Yeah, one of the original namesake pines has been dead for some time. However, you'll notice a slightly smaller one right in front of the arch that's taking its place.

Essentially if I followed the drainage I'm in, I'd drop off (literally) into the South Creek Drainage and eventually onto the now "Paul Allen" estate!

I don't know if all the 171 men that died on March 8, 1924 are buried there but there are a lot of white crosses with only "March 8,1924" written on them signifying that many, many of them are buried there. Google the date and there are some heart-breaking stories and photos of the caskets and so forth. I saw this cemetery a few weeks ago when I was doing a site inspection of the Carbon Power Plant just a few hundred yards down the road from this and stopped by to see this. Yep, I'm one of the weird ones who stops at the markers on the side of the road to see what happened and I stop by all these little cemeteries to see what I can see and learn what I can learn.

I'm more familiar with the the New River in Virginia where it runs through Radford and Pearisburg.

Although I have driven over the New River on the I-64 bridge and while I don't see the bridge itself...I can't imagine the mountains being that big anywhere other than through the gorge. So I'm guessing that it's a pic of the New River Gorge in West Virginia in the springtime.

Yes. I tok this picture last week on a climbing roadtrip.

Where is this located?

This one might be a little tough...I don't think this tank and well have been there very long. In fact, it doesn't even exist on Bing's imagery, but it does show on Google Maps.

So, here's a hint or two:

In the far distance, there are some very distinct landmarks.

This was taken in the evening and looking in a northeasterly direction.

Would those be the Tables of the Sun and Mossback Butte in the distance?

[Sandstone Addiction]

Not Tables of the Sun or Mossback Butte.

These Tops, and the prominent landmarks in the distance in my pic, are about 70 miles NNW from the Tables of the Sun and are Entrada sandstone.

The name of the general area of this well would be fine.

I'll be away from the computer for the weekend, so be patient if I don't respond quickly.

Is it around Moonshine Wash area?

I don't know if this is helpful in identifying the formations, but they are Summerville Formation with a little Entrada Sandstone cropping out around the edges. :naughty:

[Sandstone Addiction]

Correct Dennis, Summerville creates the butte.

But no, not close to Moonshine. But you would see these "Tops" if you were looking Southwest from Moonshine.

This tank is south of the DDR.

[Scott P]

The Flat Tops were my first thought, but as Udink points out, the clue throws us off a little since only have a little Entrada around the bases. Anyway, it is the Flat Tops and Wildhorse Butte would be the one to the left and out in the distance. I still don't know what stock tank that is though.

[Sandstone Addiction]

Yea, my mistake...sorry for the confusion. :facepalm1:

So, since this tank is too new to be recognized, I'm going to post a new pic that is fair to all.

BTW, the tank is along the road to Hell Hole Swale.

Here is a different pic...should be easily recognized by some:

No. What's the significance of 2011 though?

High water

I assume that you may be thinking of a river run that has logs near it? If so, this photo is quite a long way from any river, lake, or other water source.

How about Wolverine Petrified Wood Natural Area?

[Scott P]

Yes; more specifically the south fork of Wolverine Canyon.
