I challenge all other trekkers out there to guess where this picture was taken! I will give you that it was taken in California.

Steve, I cannot be the only one guessing. I am going to say somewhere north of Red Bluff, looking west. I can only give you a region, not specific spot.
Great photo!
Far off. I will give the hint that it was taken west of I-5.
Matt, thanks for trying!
I would say ocotillo wells or possibly somewhere near Death Valley. Hmm.
This photo was taken off CA-58, just above McKettrick, outside the Carrizzo Plains.
