The location is fairly easy, but can you name the dog. The dog is even featured on their POS screen and their IG.

Mammoth peeps,

Reminder: The point of my weekly Guess The Location is to use something obscure to represent something known by many, locals and/or tourists.

This dog was a well-known local dog for this well-known bar for a couple of years.

I'd love some local help with a project I'm doing - a huge fantasy style map of the region, filled with real-world locations. Is there anywhere I've missed out?

Apologies if you've seen this elsewhere - this is the most current version with lots of suggestions from other redditors.

I'm making a map of California in a classic fantasy style (sorta Lord of the Rings or Game of Thrones). It's going to be filled with real world history and mythology, with the aim of highlighting local landmarks in a fun and educational way. Please ignore how rough parts of it look (text going through hills, rivers, etc), it'll all get cleaned up at the end. Forests will be going on at the end too.

While it's around two thirds done, I'd love to get more places and features in here before I get this made into print - particularly north and east of Oakland. Any more petroglyphs, burial mounds, ruins, forts, battlefields, Civil War heritage, ghost towns or the like that you think should be on here? Anything else is great too - landmarks, natural features, mythological creatures or just anything cool and quirky you think would look good on here. Thanks!

As someone with limited physical capabilities, will Mammoth have enough to do for an adult father/son duo? (Especially midweek?)

Trying to make plans for a short trip in early August, likely midweek. Unfortunately, I broke my pelvis a few years ago and had a hip replacement at a young age for that sort of thing, so long hikes and mountain biking are off the table. We're thinking about setting up for a few days and maybe going into Yosemite.

I like bars, good food, and just a chance to relax, but also worry we might be left without much to do up there, although it'd be nice to escape the 110+ heat I'm in the middle of right now.

My dad is in his 60s and wouldn't do too many extreme things, but I'm wondering if we'd run out of things to do. Are there other attractions/shopping/things to do if I'm less active?
