Has anyone been to or seen a photo of the San Joaquin-Stanislaus-
Santa Clara-Alameda county quadripoint in California at Mt.
Boardman? Mapquest doesn't show this as a quadripoint, but I believe
they're wrong. Topozone's USGS maps show it as such, and I remember
reading in a book describing the legal boundaries of the California
counties that the summit of Mt. Boardman was specifically identified
as a quadripoint.

Also, while we're talking about California, there's the lovingly
named area of geothermal activity in Lassen Volcanic NP
called "Bumpass Hell":

And as for the aforelinkedto hill called Squaw Tit in the Mojave
Desert, I've seen it from a distance and can see how it got its
name. It's even got a little extra bump on top that resembles a
nipple...
