What's the closest 6000 ft mountain to the gulf of Mexico?
Seriously, but the conditions are these:

1. The mountain must not have many houses on it or any too close by.

2. It still needs to be near a populated area, so that if it should come up missing, it would be noticable.

3. It needs to be made of a material that is relatively solid, not anything like a pile of sand stone or loose volcanic ash.

This is a serious question, believe it or not, I could really use help on this.

Trying to plug the leak?
You need a pyramid so you can harness all the lateral pressure and mass, to exert an even enough force to stop it.

Google is your friend:

[link to en.wikipedia.org]

Within a minute of looking at that list, I found a mountain in Haiti that exceeds 6,000 feet. I'm guessing it would be missed; don't know if there are any houses on it.

Do the rest yourself.

Actually, the Haiti mountain would be a very excellent idea.

The other mountains I am finding are all so wide at the base, it is problematic.

It's worth a shot.

I'm thinking it needs a good base, for sure.

A pyramid?

Would the base of the great pyramid in Egypt be big enough? I hear there are more than one areas of leaking.

Okay, crazy question,

I'm thinking Cerro Tia Chena,

but the reason is, that I wanted some of the mountain to poke up through the water. Deep Horizon well is a little over 5000 ft deep. With settling, a big mountain would have to be over 5500 ft at the prominence to be seen peaking out of the water.

Yep, I think this one will do.

If anyone has any problems this may present, please let me know.

In the U.S. probably the Sacramento range in Southern New Mexico. About as far as you can go south and still be in the Rocky Mountains.

Sierra Blanca is in that range and is 12,000ft. high.

So you think it would be better if it were a usa mountain? I considered that. Publicity wise, it would make the most sense. But I fear they may declare martial law sooner if it is one taken from the USA.

I'll look up Clingmans Dome, thanks a lot, actually. I'm reconsidering my choice now. Uhm, hypothetical choice.

Thanks for the support.

I know it sounds funny, and ridiculous, but I've always wanted to ask God to move a mountain. Seriously. And this is one of the best reasons I can think of to actually ask for such a miracle.

... moving a mountain? lol.

by the time you got done moving it, it'd be all broken up and worthless.

might as well just contemplate asking him to either:

a) filling in the gulf with sand or
b) surrounding the gulf with barriers to make an inland lake instead of a gulf.

If we are going to move a mountain from within the usa, we might as well make sure its disappearance is easily noticed. Clingmans Dome is hidden in a shroud of haze most of the time, so that is my current second choice. I'd like a better one if possible.

seriously though, before you get God to plug it with a mountain, can you have him try a junk shot first and see if the white house complete with staff will fit down there & plug it? I hear that junk shot stuff works out real well.

I think the upper blue ridge mountain range offers the best choices so far,

Would anyone miss mount Mitchell, or Mt. Washington?
