This is my new favorite picture because it shows why I bought the Jeep. Wide open spaces and exploring endless trails. I was off work today so I went trail riding.

you know, it's weird but I hardly ever hear other vehicles get called their brand name or somethin associated with it light their motor. Just jeeps, and every jeep. Even if it's one of this ugly latititudes haha. People come in and will say "I need tires for my jeep"... they won't say car like other owners... truck owners are the same. Once in awhile they will say their duramax or Cummins, but they won't say their silverado, ram, or f150... just truck haha.... always found it interesting. Just thought I'd share because to said eco boost haha

I went and tried to nail down exactly where you were sitting there and it is too spider webbed with trails around there to do it. Especially up to the east of the sand pit. lol

You actually went there or looked on Google Maps? It is spider webbed with trails. The other day I saw one of the Jeep Tours stop and let the tourists out to take pictures on top of that hill so I figured I would check it out. After leaving I found trails that lead right to Goldfield Ghost Town.

I have been all over that valley looking at the ancient Hohokam irrigation canals so I was already familiar with which way is east, west, north or south when looking at a photo. and by how far the mountains in the background are away and how they are oriented. It's just a knack I have.

I use Google "Earth" a lot. One of my hobbies is doing satellite archaeology and I have gotten pretty good at being able to look at a photo and then find that particular spot by satellite. I got in the general area where I think you were sitting but that area is so spider webbed with trails it was hard for me to nail down for sure. lol

This wouldn't happen to be an old "take a date" spot would it? lol
Give me a bit to drop off and go log in and let me see if I can find that spot.
I think it was Pete here who I have talked with many times in the past about this hobby? He has pointed me to some very neat places around his area in Az. If I am correct.

COOOOL!!! I love this stuff! having a state to work with helps a lot! Many times I have to research the vegetation first to find the general geographical location. Sometimes it takes a month to find the state and "the spot". lol

I have the general area figured out but that exact "intersection" I have not nailed down yet. I realize this morning judging by the background vegetation that those pictures might actually be showing two different locations with similar hills and intersections. The backgrounds look totally different even though they appear to be the same little hill and intersection he is parked at there. Or... they were taken on two different trips.
If this is the case, it has thoroughly thrown me off base in trying to find one location. But I'm still looking... I'm not giving up yet, this challenge has been fun so far and I'm digging it. lol
