Last week when I was coming back from Sara's funeral in Kingman I took a chance and pulled off onto a rough ranch road, just south of the Santa Maria River. For the past forty years I have glimpsed the top of this big sandstone slab that looks amazing from the highway but you can only see the top of it. Last year, Ed Mell and I tried to access it from the north side of the river but we never could get close enouigh to even glimpse it. This time I chugged up over a ridge and there it was in all its glory. My topo only names the background mountains as Ives Peak, and I don't know the name of this sucker but it's a beaut Butte:
We have a Reader's Survey up and we need you to take it so we can get an idea of who you all are. You can win a Pendelton blanket just for filling it out, so good luck.
