Funny enough, I was going to guess one of the burn lakes east of Gabbro, like Quadga, and Mirror is just a bit north of that, so I'm somewhat proud of my guess."



Clever, TC. Glad your guess was close without additional help...good pride point.


Please note I intended to disclose that I saw it, not use it to win. I open the photos on my computer so I can see the details better, especially when I think I recognize the place because I can compare my photos of similar areas. When I open the photos the information, including the map, pops up on the side panel automatically if it is left in. Sharing that I found it that way and letting Geotramper repost seemed like a good solution and a way to help others remove the data if they so choose. Might have happened to me one other time last year but otherwise it hasn't been an issue.

Alright, fair! You don't strike me as a cheater or game spoiler anyway Yeti. :) It would seem a little silly to look for the info intentionally, so I figured there had to a more reasonable explanation, like you have a browser extension that shows EXIF on hover or something like that.

Oh lol thanks Yeti, I have a massive backlog of footage to get through (2021-2023!!) that will hopefully be entertaining. In the meantime I do enjoy killing a little time with Name That Lake :) Thanks for watching bud.


Now it's time for a new lake, geotramper!
