The Lone Ranger

[rpm]

HAhahahaha none of those Texan mountains have a timberline. My house is actually higher up than 75% of those. Cheyenne mountain is just northwest of me and blocks the sun about an hour before official sunset.

Sorry but I live on the front range of the Rockies. Lived in Texas for a number of years and didn't think of their foothills as mountains.

Exactly, Buzzard. WWhiskey is just trying to drag a lame FW troll over here. If I posted it, it has to be wrong even when I'm right.

It's a terrible movie.

None of which look like this:

Technically there are "Mountains" in Texas. But it's a completely different environment and there's none of the lush mountain scenery shown in the film.

Oh, and horses can't fly. That's in there, too.

[Arlo]

I was talking to my squad-mate, Sik, who proclaimed that Texas mountains are entirely stealth. 

We got trains and trees, too.

What's the highest point in East Texas... 600ft?

Look at that map. The Texas State Railroad in your first pic is located near Palestine. Palestine is the high point on the line at 423ft. None of the peaks (which are high desert) are above 8,000ft.

And the argument you're inventing between us would be ........ 

[Arlo]

But where I'm from is the Texas Caprock area:



It goes on for miles and miles and miles and miles ...... and there's a lot of these on them now:



Which also go on for miles and miles and miles and miles.

And the argument you're inventing between us would be ........ 

No argument. Just saying the Rockies shown in the movie ain't in Texas.

[Arlo]

I missed anyone disputing that.

[Zoney]

Yeah, I was really really insulted when I found out they didn't actually film "Apollo 13" in space.

I thought "The Lone Ranger" was fun.  Exactly what I expected.

[whiteman]

I thought it was funny which is what it was supposed to be, i didn't go to see a documentary on the wild west.
