McDonald's Restaurants by Magnitude of Mountain Backdrop / Rut

by u/Gigitoe

Eating a Big Mac® while gazing at Big Mountains is an experience that millions of Americans can relate to. But little do we ask ourselves, which McDonald's restaurants have the biggest, baddest mountain backdrop?

So I set out to answer this question, using rut, a topographic metric that does particularly well at identifying cities with badass mountain backdrops. (For more info, check out this Mercury News article by John Metcalfe, or my research paper)

Roughly speaking, this is how rut works:

The higher the mountains rise above a restaurant, the more impressive they appear, and the greater the rut.

The more steeply the mountains rise above a restaurant, the more impressive they appear, and the greater the rut.

Here's a tier list that shows the rut of the ruttiest McDonald's restaurant in various cities. The cutoffs are rather arbitrary, so please don't poison me with a Grimace Shake if your city doesn't get the tier you like :)

S tier - rut > 400 m (i'm lovin' it. would visit just for mountain views)

Palm Springs, CA (647 m) | Weed, CA (624 m) | Springville, UT (609 m) | Lone Pine, CA (521 m) | Rancho Cucamonga, CA (503 m) | Kailua Kona, HI (432 m) | Salt Lake City, UT (404 m)

A tier - rut between 200 to 400 m (impressive, but probably wouldn't visit just for mountain views)

Colorado Springs, CO (383 m) | Gatlinburg, TN (273 m) | Tacoma, WA (267 m) | Tucson, AZ (246 m) | Juneau, AK (223 m) | Tucson, AZ (209 m) | Albuquerque, NM (215 m) | Las Vegas, NV (209 m)

B tier - rut between 100 and 200 m (mountains nearby, or distant big mountains, or very distant huge mountains)

Anchorage, AK (192 m) | Seattle, WA (185 m) | Manchester, VT (166 m) | El Paso, TX (160 m) | Los Angeles, CA (153 m) | Portland, OR (144 m) | Denver, CO (126 m) | Boise, ID (106 m)

C tier - rut between 50 and 100 m (big hills nearby, or distant mountains, or very distant big mountains)

Rutland, VT (99 m) | San Diego, CA (84 m) | Asheville, NC (75 m) | Middlesboro, KY (70 m) | Phoenix, AZ (67 m) | Roanoke, VA (46 m)

D tier - rut between 25 and 50 m (hills nearby, or distant big hills, or very distant mountains)

Billings, MT (40 m) | Rapid City, SD (37 m) | Dalton, GA (38 m) | Hot Springs, AR (37 m) | Pittsburgh, PA (33 m) | San Francisco, CA (30 m) | Portsmouth, OH (26 m) | Greenville, SC (26 m) | Huntsville, AL (25 m)

E tier - rut between 10 and 25 m (small hills nearby, or hills in the distance, or very distant big hills)

Syracuse, NY (21 m) | Concord, NH (20 m) | Duluth, MN (20 m) | New Haven, CT (14 m) | Cincinnati, OH (13 m) | Wausau, WI (13 m) | Portland, ME (10 m)

F tier - rut between 0 and 10 m (flatter than a patty)

Nashville, TN (8.5 m) | New York City (4.3 m) | Kansas City (2.8 m) | Miami, FL (1.7 m) | Houston (1.6 m), TX | Chicago, IL (0.6 m)

For more locations, here's a spreadsheet with the rut of every McDonald's on this map.

----------------

Note: a rut of X doesn't mean the surrounding mountains rise a height of X above the restaurant. Instead, a rut of X means that a restaurant's mountain backdrop is as impressive as a restaurant at the base of a vertical cliff of height X. The less steeply the surrounding mountains rise above the restaurant, the lower the rut.

Also note: rut only considers rise above surroundings (relative height differences and angle of elevation). it does not consider absolute elevation, nor the "aesthetics" of a mountain, nor visibility (or lack thereof) due to weather or smog.

Attributions: Gavin Rehkemper (locations), FABDEM (elevation model), Google Earth Engine (calculations), ESRI (basemap), Kai Xu (rut metric and map)

If you like rut, you'll probably like its older brother jut even more. Jut measures how impressive, spectacular, or badass a mountain is—considering both its height above surroundings and steepness. If you want to find the most impressive mountains near you or worldwide, you may find the link above to be useful.

Let us know if you have any questions or comments—I'm happy to address them!

I know you've read a lot of personal narratives from people involved in the Ross Antarctic Expedition. Are there any passages you can recall that either made you laugh out loud or yell "No you fool!!" at a long-deceased man?

This is such a fun question, thank you!

Maybe less "No you fool!!" and more "Get some sleep you fool!!" but this passage from Ross's narrative stuck out to me recently:

Soon after 6 A. M., when within half a mile of this chain of bergs, the weather came so thick, with heavy snow, and the wind failing us, Lieutenant Bird, whom I had left in charge of the conduct of the ship, being myself unable to remain on deck any longer from excessive fatigue, very judiciously recommended that we should stand off again until more favourable weather for our purpose should arrive.

Not strictly a narrative, but a while ago I had the opportunity to read some of the letters sent to Joseph Dalton Hooker in the archives of the Royal Botanical Gardens at Kew, including some notes that people sent back and forth between the ships while they were in the Antarctic. J.E. Davis's notes, in particular, were full of banter, and this passage (dated December 1842) always makes me laugh:

You make some vile unladylike allusions in your note about my writing badly and wanting stops &c together with a base insinuation about a vulgar pipe and taking a draw at it - Because you have been to a Sunday School it is no reason you should upbraid me and bring me into a vile comparison with your truly disgusting-and-ever-to-be-despised self - I own I do not write well and do not disguise my ignorance under the guise of fashion like yourself Oh! the ingratitude of the world after teaching you every accomplishment and trying (against your nature) to make you a gentleman to turn like a snake or a vile "surpint" and bite with pisoned [sic] fangs the breast that nourished and brought you to life Oh! it is too much Gas.

And though I've posted about them before, I have to mention John Robertson's description of Ross and Crozier landing on Franklin Island, and Hooker grousing about how St. Helena is a Napoleonic tourist trap, both of which are comedy gold.

[nerds-yearbook]

The 25th anniversary Bond film and first Bond film since Roger Moore retired, The Living Daylights premiered on July 31, 1987. Pierce Brosnan was set to take on the Bond mantle when at the last moment, the makers of the TV show Remington Steele decided to capitalize on all the Bond buzz and hold him to a new season of the cancelled show. This was a failure as the new season only managed 6 episodes before cancelling. The failed season also prevented Steele costar Stephanie Zimbalist from taking a major role in the sci fi blockbuster Robocop. Brosnan was replaced by Timothy Dalton who had decided to pass on the role years earlier because at the time he felt he was too young. However, he only made one more movie before the franchise was forced into hiatus. After years of limbo, Dalton decided to move on and Brosnan was once more offered the role. The Living Daylights and the following Dalton movie both protrayed a Bond closer to the novels, possibly the closest till the Daniel Craig era years later. Following the success of the Duran Duran theme for View to a Kill, Ah-Ha of "Take on Me" fame was tapped for the theme song. Besides the darker and violent take on the character, the movie also had a couple of scenes of actual nudity outside of the opening credits (including Virginia Hey of Farscape). Long time iconic Bond composer John Barry made a cameo as a conductor in the movie. Walter Gotell returned as General Gogol (The Spy Who Loved Me, Moonraker, For Your Eyes Only, Octopussy and A View to a Kill), Robert Brown as M (Octopussy and A View to a Kill) and Desmond Llewelyn as Q (every previous Bond film except Dr No and Live and Let Die). For the first time in the series, the role of Moneypenny was taken over by Caroline Bliss. Previously, since the first film Dr No, the role of Moneypenny had been played by Lois Maxwell making her the most consistent actor to play a role in the Bond franchise. The title and opening teaser was based on a Bond short story written by Ian Fleming. ("The Living Daylights" movie event)

Who are the Spindles anyway? [Part 1]

This is a rough chart of all the 33 mentioned in RBM I's will. The names of many of the spouses are known, but are not added. Note that Robert Mills (whom he calls Robert Packard) is considered a child of RBM I here, even though RBM I was his adopted father. The ancestry of the Billmans (Dr. B. Billman and Mrs. B. Billman), Cunninghams (Joyce and Bessie), Clarence A. Hammond, Jr., Mrs. R.H. Hodgins, and Mrs. Marion Robbins is not currently known. The connection of Edward Mills to his grandchildren is speculated here. It could also be through a daughter. It is only theorized that Elizabeth Chalmers is a sister of Ida and Edward E. This could be wrong.

RBM I's will mentions over 30 people, giving a whole new genealogy I wasn't aware of previously. It also gives a list of places where his relatives are living. [1] Some are living in Fort Collins, Colorado, like Elizabeth Chalmers (RBM I's grandniece), and others in Como, Colorado, like Ida Spindle (RBM I's grandniece), Hollis Spindle (Ida's son), and Robert Spindle (Ida's son). There  are even some in Colorado Springs, like Edward E. Mills (RBM I's grandnephew), Jean Marie Mills (Edward's daughter), Marjorie Mills (Edward's daughter). We know well those who were living in Cheviot (RBM II, Helen, and Carol). There were others in Heath, Massachusetts (RBM I's nephew Charles Packard), Melrose, Massachusetts (RBM I's niece, Margaret Brown), Littleton, New Hampshire (RBM I's niece, Mary Church), Dalton, Massachusetts (RBM I's nephew John Packard), Bridgeport, Connecticut (RBM I's niece Marion Deane), South Boston, Massachusetts (RBM I's niece Mabel Whitley Landstrom). We already know about those nieces and nephews fully well. But what about Elizabeth Chalmers of Fort Collins, Colorado, the Spindles (Ida, Hollis, and Robert) of Como, Colorado, and the Millses of Colorado Springs (Edward E., Jean Marie, and Marjorie)?

In order to answer this question, I turned to newspapers.com first. Unfortunately the Fort Collins Coloradoan only goes back to 1972. So, I didn't find anything for Elizabeth Chalmers there. On Find a Grave there is only one pertinent result of an Elizabeth Chalmers who lived from 1904 to 1986. But that early birth date makes me doubt it is her. In order to figure out a bit more, we should step back to RBM I's brother, Edward. I described him in a short entry on Find A Grave:

Edward was born in July 8, 1848, born in Glens Falls, Warren, New York, United States. Evidence does not show he served in the Civil War at age 17. Instead, he was a farm laborer in Chester, Warren, New York, USA from 1870-1875, at least, married to a woman named Edna, and living with his brother, Robert Mills, and others. He would stay as an agricultural laborer until 1900, while possibly being a butcher (along with other jobs) in Brooklyn, New York, USA over the years. In 1910, he was a boarder at the Hotel Sterling, a hotel run by his brother, Robert Mills. He died on Feb. 14, 1918 in Colorado, 9 years after his wife had passed on August 6, 1909.

This post was originally published on WordPress in February 2019.

Unfortunately, there is no obituary I can find of him. I may, at some point, order his death certificate from Colorado, one of the state's many vital records.

As for Ida Spindle, we are a bit more lucky! Her 1969 obituary in the Windsor Beacon, titled "Rites Held Monday For Ida Spindle, 68," says exactly where died and when she married, and whom, interestingly:

Funeral services for Ida M. Spindle, 68,were held Monday morning at Fairmount Memorial chapel, followed by interment in Fairmount. Mrs. Spindle recently underwent surgery for surgery for a broken hip and was hospitalized 10 days prior to her death. Born Feb. 17, 1901 at Olney Springs, Colo., Ida Mills attended schools in Colorado Springs, Colorado, Colorado Woman's college, and Iowa State college at Ames. She and Berthelot Spindle were married Sept. 2, 1926. She taught school in Park county and served as superintendent of Park county schools from 1941 to 1945. Mr. and Mrs. Spindle moved to the Windsor area in 1953 and operated operated a dairy farm southwest of town until moving to Denver last year.
