Mystery photo number eleven

July 25, 2012 by Dave Knadler

mystery photo 11

There appear to be some numbers painted on that hill.

Besides this oddly painted mountain, this town has another claim to fame.

For one point, name the town and state. For an extra three points, (a) identify the mountain as it is commonly known, (b) identify the town’s main claim to fame, and (c) identify a 1961 claim to fame that the town’s chamber of commerce might not care to mention. (a, b and c are worth one point each.)

The quiz rules, such as they are, may be reviewed here.

About Dave Knadler

Obscure writer. Lazy photographer. Bashful guitarist. Perhaps too fond of wine. Tireless nemesis of New York Times crosswords.

    In 1961, the SL-1 reactor melted down (worlds only fatal reactor accident) and first claim to fame was being the first town with electricity generated by nuclear power.

    Good Googling, Deb! The only thing I can think of to add (and it’s not part of the challenge, but I found it interesting) is that the numbers are from the graduating classes of Butte County High school. Since 1920 each class has painted its year on the rocks of the mountain.
