Looks like you're... out in the middle of no-freaking-where!
Actually, looks like either Quartzite or up toward Kingman.

CLUE: OK, this shot is looking southeast from the same spot the first shot was taken (which was looking northeast). And Rod is correct, I'm currently in New York, but these shots are in Arizona! :beer: - Terry

Way to go Bunk and Bob! On my hotel balcony at Bucky's in Prescott, looking north at Mt. Humphry in the distance (with the smoke and haze from the big forest fire in Flagstaff visible)!. OK, Now it is YOUR turn! - Terry

Adam,

That kind of looks like Middle Camp Mt. in the background.

If it is then you must be on LaCholla, Dome Rock or Pipe Line Rd.

If it is Middle Camp you could also be on Tom Wells Rd., but I think that would put you too far west for a shot at that angle.

Your direction was correct Rod....The Picture was taken from very near Constellation road out of Wickenburg looking North- North westish toward Rich Hill/ Yarnell. Rich Hill being center left in frame.. :woohoo:

I figured from the statement of TWO gold areas it had to be around Rich Hill. I just don't know of two other areas with that geology that could be caught in a single frame :)
