Best Washington State Geographic Names

[Dru]

Kangaroo Temple is my favorite.

[Greg_W]

I agree, Dru. I always thought that was a curious name. Anyone know the history?

[Dru]

Mayb Lago Wernstedt was missing his wife one day and spent some time "worshipping the kangaroo".

[Greg_W]

If that were the case I would expect something more like Bishop Boffer Spire or Dolphin Flog Peak or Salami Temple

Sometimes it's not the official names that are the best. I like the ones people come up with on their own.

i've heard several references to "three way peak" somewhere in the crystal backcountry area.

[Dru]

On the outskirst of Chilliwack on one side is Lickman Road on the other side is Annis Road, and across on Highway 7 near Norrish Creek is "Hawkins Pickle Road".
