I thought St. Helens was rated as a 5. I have been searching everywhere for this type of structure, and am coming up blank. No problem finding the one in the US, but that is the only one that comes up. Guess I could turn in that answer :lol:

This bonus will be tough... I found the spot by chance before deciding to pick it. I've never heard of it before now, but it's pretty interesting.

I'll drop hints if people have trouble with it... but nothing major.

<b><font size="4" color="darkred">August 12, 2005 - Challenge Day 10</font></b>

Here's the Day's image; rated as: Easy
This one is, in my opinion, very easy. It's a highly recognizable landform, and it's well known where it exists. The rest I'll leave for the hints.


<center><img src="http://www.pronetworks.org/main/images/blurb/GC-08-12-05.jpg" border="2"></center>

I am looking for the following (worth 2 total points):
1.) Name of this place (+1 points, -1 if wrong)
2.) Alternate name it goes by (+1 points, -1 if wrong)



<b>Hints:</b>
-Covered with things that calve into water (Geography term)
-Only way to see it up close... hike in or take the bus (not the normal bus)
-Head a little bit to the west and you end up no where
-Home to some of the world's biggest mosquitoes

<b><font color="red" size="3">Updated - ANSWER:</font></b>
1.) Mt. Denali (or McKinely) National Park
2.) Mt. McKinley (or Denali)

Hint: Google the place it's around... then you'll get a new name. ;)

Ok on day 10 what exactly are you looking for for the answer because there are many things in that area you got there, are you looking for the name of the area?

EDIT: I hope I get back in time today to answer this since I think my parents are going to drag me some where today and I hope they don't decide to stay the night some where.
