I like it.

I'd better explain this photo I just posted. That is me viewing the mountain from Blue Bottle ridge in about 1954. We climbed it later. It was so long ago I have forgotten some of the details, but it was so pristine and beautiful at the time. This I will never forget.

where is . . . Blue Bottle Ridge . .

It is a ridge located on the edge of Diablo Canyon in the San Pedro Martir range of mountains. We stayed at Meling Ranch, hiked up into the mountains and this is a common place to view Picacho. Obviously inexperienced at posting photos, but learning at your expense.

At the very bottom of the map... "Cerro Botella Azul". Diablo is on the right edge of the map. The observatory is just off the top of the map:
