[pct-l] Oregon PCT Names

[Donna Saufley]

Let's not forget the aptly named "The Nipple" near Jeff Davis Peak north of
Blue Lakes Road (south of Tahoe). There's a name that gets to the, um,
point.

Good afternoon, Paul,

 20 miles west of California?  There must be a story there.

I can only imagine a PCT trailtown with Shitwell Ally intersecting Dumphouse
Lane.  Right on the corner would be a greasy-spoon restaurant that serves $3
pizzas and generic beer.

If someone immigrated from Titty Ho, I expect they would end up camped on
Squaw Tit hill in central Washington.  That little hill .. a monument to
political incorrectness .. happens to be on a U.S. Military Reservation.

I seem to remember that, years back in the 1860 gold rush days, there was a
place in NE Oregon named Whorehouse Meadow.  Maybe Wayne can find that one
in his book.  Of course I have no idea why it was so named, but I think it
was changed something inane like "Naughty Girl Meadow".  Did anyone from
Tarts Hill participate in the 1860 gold rush?

 A few good'uns still exist round these parts (England)..

 Tarts Hill, Whitchurch in Shropshire.
 Cobblers Nook, The Nook (near Gotham) Derbyshire.
 Titty Ho. Raunds, Northhampton.

Shitwell Ally in London no longer appears on any map, but Dumphouse Lane can
be found in Birmingham - Or you could use Dumpers Lane in Chew Magna.


Regards, Paul.
