bakerzdosen Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Is it in or near Yosemite? Link to comment
Whip Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Is it in or near Yosemite? Tioga Pass Close enough.....your turn. Link to comment
bakerzdosen Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 I was going to guess Tioga, but all the pics I have are more "barren" OK, if you're familiar with the region, this is easy. If you're not, well, hints may be needed. I dunno if the large version gives any clues, but I put it in there just in case. Link to comment
bakerzdosen Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Nothing? No one? I would have thought the region was obvious... Is it not? Link to comment
Whip Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 If ya take out the water I would say it's the northern border of Texas. We've been tryin to keep peeps out for a while now. Otherwise it looks like New England. No one ever tried to invade from the Pacific during the time of those canons....?????? Link to comment
bakerzdosen Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Huh... I've never been in New England when the sky was that clear (or the water that blue) Hint: Not in the USA or a US territory. Link to comment
azkaisr Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Some fort in the Carribean I think perhaps Fort King George based on the picture Link to comment
Mrs. Caddis Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 I just spent way too much time (at work) figuring this one out. I know the answer but will wait til I get home tonight to see if anyone else gets it... Link to comment
bakerzdosen Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Fort King George it is. Sorry Mrs. Caddis - It looks like Tom beat you by a few seconds (assuming you really knew the answer.) Man, I was thinking that I was going to be lucky to have someone guess Trinidad and Tobago - let alone Tobago or Fort King George. (Lovely place by the way - even if I can't understand the language/accent there.) Well done. You're up. Link to comment
Redbrick Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 Biggin Hill, Blighty......? Have a print in our office of Hurricanes over Kent stationed at Biggin.... Link to comment
azkaisr Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 While Biggin Hill is a worthy place, the man down under wins the prize. It is in fact Duxford. Link to comment
BabyCow Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 I was undecided between these two. I apologise for posting them both but the first maybe better recognisable than the second which is more famous! (I took both photos) Link to comment
Whip Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 St Andrews for the first one. Link to comment
BabyCow Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 "U d man......get in the hole blah blah blah :grin:" A guess for the second?.....and u r up......again Link to comment
skinny_tom (aka boney) Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 A guess for the second? Well, I know what it's not. Definitely not Mt. Everest; the ridge is wrong, the shape of either summit and the fact that there's two summits of similar heights near each other. (However, the terrain surrounding the peak is particularly Himalayan.) I thought maybe Aconcogua, but no, the terrain is not very Andean. It certainly can't be any of the other seven summits. So, I'm back to the Himalayas, somewhere. Got it! It's Lhotse. Not that it counts for anything... Link to comment
Whip Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 If my man Boney is correct, I think it's his turn. Link to comment
BabyCow Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Not bad Boney but if it Lhotse on the right (it is) then it is what on the left? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lhotse You're up! Link to comment
skinny_tom (aka boney) Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 At work today. If y'all want to keep it going then I'll take a pass. Link to comment
Redbrick Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Kinda' looks like Golden Gate Park........ Link to comment
skinny_tom (aka boney) Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Kinda' looks like Golden Gate Park........ Nope. Here's a hint... North of there. Link to comment
Whip Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Gonna need a hint????? I've been just north of there, don't remember anything like it. Link to comment
TEWKS Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Mount Davidson area? Pat Link to comment
TEWKS Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Mount Davidson area? Pat Google maps is telling me my guess is south of GGP. Pat Link to comment
bakerzdosen Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 I've certainly spent more time on this than I'd like to admit. Link to comment
Redbrick Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 OK.....I'll try even though I have serious doubts: The Presidio? Link to comment

Deadboy Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Wow, I lived in that general area for 30 years and never heard of that. http://tinyurl.com/ydy9346 Looks like we have a winner.... Link to comment
cali_beemer Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Okay, here it goes. Not my personal photo but I did personally visit it last week. Note there is something at the very top of the hill. Link to comment
Mark K Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Wow, I lived in that general area for 30 years and never heard of that. You're not alone. Whenever we go touring, we try to make a point of asking the locals about places or events we plan to see/attend. Invariably, they have the same response......."I don't know. I've never even been there!" I'm guilty of overlooking many things in my own backyard as well. Enjoying the thread! Keep it up!! Link to comment
cali_beemer Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 you guys need a hint on the picture? Thats a lighthouse at the top of the hill. The countries currency is the peso. Thats all I am saying for now. Link to comment
cali_beemer Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Nope...Sorry. Further south. Link to comment
cali_beemer Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Winner, winner chicken dinner. Your turn. It also happens to be the highest natural lighthouse in the world for all you trivia people. The second highest lighthouse in the world. Link to comment
Redbrick Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Not many clues here... ....... Link to comment
