[Az-Geocaching] Jeep Travelbugs for AZ Mountains (the complete list)

Mon Aug 14 09:04:59 MST 2006

Not far from home there's a short peak called Squaw Nipple.  :-)  I am a
little irked at how the TBs were distributed this year, because there didn't
appear to be any sort of quota per state so that they were evenly
distributed.  As I understand it, the northeast got most of them, and very
few made it up here apparently.  I found out about the distribution method
too late and my form didn't get there in time.  Ironically, the one we know
of in this area is now sitting on my desk at home after having ventured up
across the Beartooth Highway via Clarks Fork Canyon, the Morrison Jeep Trail
switchbacks (where I came within a few inches of rolling this weekend) and
then on to Goose Lake.  It's named after Independence Peak, a place I
traveled to with the 4x4 club over the Indendence Day weekend.  If it wasn't
such a chore to get to, I'd drive down to Independence and take a pic ON the
summit of the mountain the TB is named after.  Now, if the Granite Peak GJTB
makes it up here, I'd have to make a weekend hike up there and visit my West
Rozebuzz cache (on the way to the summit).  The tallest mountain in the
state at 12,499' requires some clinging to the rock face and shimmying (sp?)
across a hundred feet or so of very small cracks for foot holds on a near
vertical face.

Pics of the Independence ride.  I miss Arizona often, but it's trips like
this that remind me so vividly what I love about living in Montana.  When I
get the pics from last weekend posted, watch out.  The Morrison switchbacks
and Goose Lake shots are phenomenal.

Oh, and if you want to confirm the exact number/names of GJTBs 'issued' to a
state, just do an Advanced Search for TBs and use (AZ) for the search
params.

Hey everyone,

The Jeep contest this year named the Jeeps after mountains across the US.  I
thought some of you might like a list of the ones named after mountains in
Arizona.

This is the complete list... as far as I can tell (as opposed to my previous
message).  I may have missed one or two, but I'm pretty sure this is all of
them.  I'd really like to get my hands on Wishbone Mountain for sentimental
reasons.

Some interesting facts that I noticed while getting the list.  There are
over 20 mountains in Colorado named "Sheep Mountain"... that have a jeep
named after them.  

There are also quite a few mountains with the word "nipple" in them.  

For the name "Squaw Peak", CA has 3, WY has 2, and ID, MT and UT have one,
but as we all know, AZ no longer has one.
