WINXP Bliss background

[Ginga]

Hello folks.

Being the inquisitive person I am I've often wondered if
the bliss (default) windowsXP background was a real place
or whether it was a hash together in photoshop or the
like and if it was a real place where was it?

surely I can't be the only one who wishes to stand atop
XP Hill and have my photograph taken?

If anyone knows where this is - BILL G ARE YOU
LISTENING? If you could post on here that would be
great. I may even take you over with me so we can both
fulfill a dream, unless it's you Bill who answers in
which case you can pay for yourself

It fairly weel accepted that the Bliss picture location is in Eastern Washington State, and that makes sense since Washington is the home state for MS. Look at this image here, and you'll note the mountain in the background is very similar in the one on the right side of the Bliss image.
