Guys, I covered approx. 5,200 miles, by car, on my trip. It's not going to be THAT obvious.

You say it in quite a few places.  I don't have the time, nor desire, to look for those posts.  I'm leaving in a few minutes....to test drive a Toyota for a $75 Visa giftcard...then we're going to a Hyundai dealer to drive the Azera.

I told you there was a point in the picture. There are only so many points in the west. And, this is a really big point, you're just seeing it from far away.

Tell me the name of the point, and what lies beneath it.

No sir.

Hint #2. I'm not standing on the point, I'm viewing the point.
Hint #3: The point I'm viewing was used for surveying purposes in the 1800's, because it could be seen from hundreds of miles each direction.
Hint #4: The point isn't the answer I'm looking for, but finding out what the point is will make it easy to figure out what I'm standing on in this picture.
