Correct, Gilman tunnels it is. I'm directionally dyslectic. That's why following me is always an adventure

I was wondering about this. I have traveled southwest New Mexico may times and had no idea where this was.

Abercrombie, are you taking the next one? I am seeing this in a parking lot because of the Nashville bombing. We have had no cell or internet since noon Christmas.

You got it! Funny thing is I took this picture five years ago but couldn't remember where or what it was. The picture was from my 2015 SW-FOG Cedar City UT trip where we dipped South into Pheonix and hit the South Rim before meeting up with the SW-FOG folks.

We'll try a harder one:

Nope. It's in the Northeast of the US. The ozarks are very flat in comparison to the height of this area.

I think I got this. Cadillac Mountain, Arcadia National Park.
Full disclaimer - I checked the internet before my guess, but you'll have to agree that I had to know what to search for.
I've been to this place and I recognized it as soon as Goodman posted it. The "northeast" clue sealed it.

Sorry HPPants. You're right that it looks a lot like Cadillac Mtn. On this trip we went to Bar Harbor the following day. But this is over 100 miles west and a great view of another area. I can't remember who recommended this road and the overlook to us, but we found it very peaceful.
The pic above is the placard of the location that I blurred the words out.
I took a break near this overlook and laid on a rock and looked at the sky. When I got back to the bike I had lost my keys. That wasn't much fun but Tammy carries a backup key so we were not as panicked as we otherwise would have been. Two minutes after leaving we saw our first moose on the motorcycle:
I think some of our New Hampshire and Vermont friends would recognize this place and the lake it overlooks.

I had a feeling it was in the Northeast and would even venture a guess as to the lake but it would be just a guess. I'll leave it for someone who's sure and maybe could even identify the overlook.

No clue where the lake is but I like the Moose tracks at the overlook.

Nobody's got it yet. HPPants had the state correct, though. Last hint for 24 hours.

I would guess the Rangeley Lake general area but couldn't place the exact location of the photo.

Do you want to post RossKean?

Sure.
We'll start with this as a Canada location. Coastal (obviously). A bit off the beaten track and 19 km from any Google street view.
If it is too obscure as a specific location, I'll try another.
