Where is it? (Poor mans version)

[fouristhenewone]

My first though was Little Flat Top, heading west out of the San Rafael Desert. But I checked my photos and that's not it. It's definitely not along the Little Wild Horse road because the Summerville layers are much higher up along the entire length of that road between GV and the LWHC parking lot (it's all Entrada Sandstone down at the level of the road). So, I'm going to have to go with the Green River Cutoff Road, where it passes near the highest point of the Woodside Anticline. There's really not a name for this specific location, but it's about halfway between El Rancho Not So Grande and US-6.

Edit: The more I think about this, the more I'm sure of my guess. Check out pages 11 and 15 of Desert Magazine from June 1951 for photos of the same formation: http://www.scribd.com/doc/2403358/19...zine-1951-June

I've done some exploring around there and have even been up on the southern flank of that butte on an old mining road.

you are scary, scary good! your up!

Ok, hopefully this isn't as easy as my last one. Name the town or the mountain range in the background--well, I guess if you know one, you know both, so...

Is it the ruin near perfect kiva in Gand Gulch?

[DARWIN]

this ruin is about 240 miles from the perfect kiva (and newer)

i don't think they had metal stove elbows at perfect kiva. at least that is what it looks like, and the framing around the window, anasazi weren't too big on windows. looks more cowboy to me. no idea where it is though.

that would be Bob Stinson's Cave House - on old Hwy 6, Marjum Pass!

That's one of my favorite areas of Utah.



Sorry - it's larger, but you may need the detail to figure it out.
