Hi, Lanny > The navigational beacon named "Crystal" is curious. Is that the one that is > on the river just SE of Dog Mnt.? or the one across the river? Makes one > wonder how/why it got that name! Agreed! Further study of the map has me puzzled. The river navigational beacons are represented as a small circle with a dot in the middle. Crystal, Power (1/2 mile west), and Crest (1/4 mile N by NW) are small equilateral triangles with a dot in the center. Given the placements of these and other similar symbols, I would assume that they are aircraft beacons. Crystal is located on a ridgelet between the 280 and 320 contour lines about 1/4 mile east of Dog Mt. trail. It's on a relatively flat spot at the edge of a cliff overlooking SR 14. Bear in mind, this description is based on an out of body exploration experience inspired by the contour lines of the topo. <g> > … (also it had started raining again).
