Ninemile Knoll is another bump in the road, and I strain to see it as I approach from the east.

Because of the mountainous area, many peaks contain radio or microwave towers near the summit. I log these as a drive to the summit, and on cold days like today, I can still get out and enjoy reaching a mountain top.
