Inspired by the following video
and the following article
I took about an hour to do some studying around my area (The Pacific Northwest).. I wanted to determine if there was a gross conspiracy about the shape of the Earth? I have to admit, this seems ludicrous, insane, but none the less, what does it hurt to do a bit of studying and prove some (idiots?) people wrong?
I found the following image from a Blog - it is from the Peak of Mt Bachelor @ about 9068ft (in the blog).

I then used PeakFinder.org to get the Computer Generated image - https://www.peakfinder.org/?lat=43.9792&lng=-121.6886&azi=1&zoom=6&ele=2759&cfg=rsm&date=2016-09-18T17:03Z&name=mount bachelor
and the Snipping Tool to get this image
PeakFinder.org also confirmed the Bloggers Mt Bachelor Height from the picture to be 9050ft, within 18ft of the blog.
Next, I used the Binoculars tool on PeakFinder.org to measure distances to the relevant peaks from the bloggers image and also used the Earth Curve Calculator @
https://dizzib.github.io/earth/curve-calc
to determine the declination. All of this can be confirmed by others from the included links.
Results
Mt Bachelor to Broken Top - 7.2 Miles - 9042 ft Elevation - 34.5 ft Declination
Mt Bachelor to Mt Jefferson - 48.3 Miles - 10246 ft Elevation - 1555 ft Declination
Mt Bachelor to Mt Hood - 96.3 Miles - 11161 ft Elevation - 6182 ft Declination
Mt Bachelor to Mt Adams - 153.8 Miles - 12287 ft Elevation - 15770 ft Declination
Short story, you should not be able to see the base of Mt Hood in the image nor should you be able to see Mt Adams at all.. If the Earth is a curve, either it is much bigger than science tells us or it is not a ball at all..
Please, someone check my math and make sure I have not made any mistakes..
