Slippery when wet name for a bouldering problem in Eldorado, and a rock climb in the south platte.

Sugartit, KY - Used to live a few miles away. Great area of the country. Also near Big Bone Lick State Park and Rabbit Hash, where the mayor greats you like a dog - because he is one.
Sugartit was named after an asphalt company! Technically no longer exists but still recognized by maps.

Re: Great Place Names
Perhaps you already know this, but it was named because the water acts as a laxative (really).
I'm old, slow and fat. Unfortunately, those are my good qualities.
