Please help with a mysterious trivia question...?

B. P. has four uncles: Washington, Roosevelt, Jefferson and Lincoln

B.P. is short for Baked Potato, which has been his nickname for quite some time.

B.P. has green hair.

Please note that B.P. stands for Baked Potato as listed above so that is not the answer, nor are we trying to find someone with those initials.

This is for a scavenger hunt (not for kids) and I have been stumped for two days now. Any input would be appreciated.

I think it relates to money or something....Only a possibility...

Great question. You've got me thinking...

I know Washington, Jefferson and Lincoln are featured on money - is Roosevelt? (If so, must be large bills I don't see much of!!!)

These four are featured on Mount Rushmore

The "green hair" could be pines above the monument...

I'm thinking it's the Crazy Horse memorial in South Dakota.

It's 8 miles away from Mount Rushmore, so those four presidents could be his "uncles".

The carving is not finished, so there is shrubbery growing on top which would be the "green hair."

I don't get the "baked potato" reference though.


EDIT:
I read your other questions, and your request for a nanny in Georgia got me thinking in another direction: Stone Mountain.

Gutzon Borglum, who carved the Mt. Rushmore faces, was the original artist for the Stone Mountain project. However, he had a falling out and left.

Mt. Rushmore was completed in 1941. Stone Mountain was completed in 1970. Since Mt. Rushmore is older it could be said to be the "uncle" to the other carving.

Furthermore, Stone Mountain is a giant granite "monadnock" that looks like nothing so much as a baked potato. And there are trees on top that could account for the "green hair."

Am I right???

Adding to Elise K's Answer, i think the baked potato reference could have something to do with chives on a baked potato, like they have on those nasty ones at wendys?
