neebee, I'll give you a few hints:
It's within the US borders but not necessarily under US jurisdiction.
The name sake likens the term: arachnophobia.
The greater area is known as the four …. (hint: right angles)
So where is it?

hey there... oh my.... well say, now... seems the car was taking the "hit" for you all.... oh, my....
say, thanks to some fine coaching, i now understand about that fine rock...
so.... in days gone by, perhaps, had many of you folks ever had permission to do that climb?---i know it is a mighty fine climb, i would reckon...
but respect is always best, 'tis true...
keeps your concience from a'feeling blue...
keeps those around you, inclined to feel, well, too...
oh, my---always learning, at supertopo, things both old and new...
thanks for the insight, nita, andall, and the mystery you mentioned, double d, though, now solved...

Museum, that last one looks like the Bells? I was thinking of starting a whole thread about those maroon hills sometime.

Cool. If you've got others, or stories, watch out for a "Maroon Bells" thread.

A Maroon Bells thread would be great! I proposed to my wife at Maroon Lake (after biking up from Aspen... what an awesome ride!), so I've always had a special interest. Just took the young-uns to pad around this past fall.

This is from the top-out on Sea, June ’78. After being on the wall for 10 days, we were all bowl-legged and walking like drunken sailors, so we set up camp the ways we was use to. All three ledges were on the same line and in the middle of the night, Dale dropped Theodore, (aka Theodore Emond Bear, aka Teddy-Bear) gets up and scares the heck out of JB and I…I’m dreaming that it’s one of JB’s A3+ bivi anchors pop’n out!
Just after we got camp established that night there was a meteor that lit the sky (like daylight) up for so long…I’ve still never seen one like that again. Later we asked tons of folks down in the Valley if anyone else saw it…no one did…musta been in the Mountian Room Bar ‘cause you couldn’t have missed that sucker! A great close to a fun adventure.
PS… Theodore slept in Dales embrace each night and always was with him on walls. His job: to pilot the haul bags safely to the ground (the historical method of getting the gear down was launching the haul bag with a sleeping bag parachute and hoping for the best!)
