[NA4BH]

Post a photo of a place where actual humans have been before. Not at the corner of your street and some other place that doesn't exist to the real world. Guess where the photo was taken at (the more specific the better). And good luck in the contest. :)

[NA4BH]

Yes, but facing which way and where?

[NQ6U]

I-85 southbound.

[NA4BH]

Wait wait, was this taken today?

OK, you can play now that the city has been found.

[KA9MOT]

My son, who was raised in Georgia and has spent lots of time in Atlanta says it Peach Tree.

Where I 85 and I 75 merge. Facing South. Traffic was actually good today.

Who's next?

Yep, and all truck drivers know that Willie Nelson owns a place near there with food and six foot tall frogs.

[KA9MOT]

I-35 South at Farm and Market 2959

[NQ6U]

Both right. The FM is indeed a giveaway. They also used to give me a big headache when I was trying to navigate in some god-forsaken corner of that god-forsaken state.

I have a friend who lives in that area and I've seen him take a thousand pictures of that bridge.

[NA4BH]

Wyatt Earp was born there.

[KA9MOT]

And where i that bridge?

[KA9MOT]

Wyatt Earp was born there.
Yes, Wyatt Earp was born here in Monmouth. They make a big deal out of it too. He got smart and left when he was one.
Ronald Reagan went to College here and my brother owns the house he lived in......Nobody here seems to know Ronnie Boy lived here and was an announcer at our local radio station. Wyatt was no radio guy like Ronald was.

That bridge is not in Monmouth.

No, What is it called? They used to have a Basket Factory there, Motorola has a plant there and if you go west a few miles you'll find the Ammo plant has been repaired after it blew up a few years ago.

We ran across the grave a couple years ago. It's (indeed) in Custer State Park. Backroad that's a few miles of gravel, but traveled every day. No history known, but ran across this recently on a geocaching site:

http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=cd339b8d-3cc2-4c91-8a8d-cafa8c6220ee

Gives a little history, but no real details of "Baby Mann."

What surprised me was the flowers, etc. (pic taken last week). 1902 was a long time ago. Maybe we're not the barbarians we pretend to be?

Thanks for the info........... Did you find the cache? What was it?

Never made it to the cache. It was behind a long line of dense bushes in tall grass -- more bushwhacking than we were up to that day. Prairie rattlesnake country, too. Most of the caches are smallish plastic boxes filled with worthless trinkets (take one, leave one is the general rule) and a logbook to sign. We did find 9 others in the general area.

Okay, here's a tougher one.

Hint: It's a lake in the western United States.

Nope and nope.

[kf0rt]

Salt Lake?

[NQ6U]

Salt Lake?

Nope. But as a further hint, it shares one property with Great Salt Lake: you wouldn't want to drink the water.

[kc7jty]

need a hint buzz. how about elevation.
I want to say those scrub brushy trees scream Utah, but that could be anywhere. I think the elevation is 3k feet high or better.

[NQ6U]

Okay: elevation is approximately 4700 feet (1,434 m).

Guessin' Pyramid here, too. (Oh, yeah, sure...)
But really.

[kc7jty]

pyramid is 2600 feet. I think Utah Lake will nail it.

Both wrong, but you're getting closer.

This one is very obscure--most people have probably never even heard of it--so I'm going to give you a big hint: It straddles the border between two states west of the Rocky Mountains. Also, I took the picture from the shoulder of a U.S. Highway.

[kc7jty]

BINGO! Goose Lake.

[NQ6U]

BINGO! Goose Lake.

Roger that!

Put these coordinates into Google Earth (or Google Maps) and it will show you exactly where I took the picture:

41°50'8.06"N
120°21'30.77"W

Anderson, SC.

Anderson, SC.
Close enough. Anderson is just a few miles over. It is the heart of Down Town Easley SC where they keep the lanterns burning until 10PM!

Got this one today while having pizzeria on the sidewalk. Note it's coming from the other direction. Sorry, no Sunday alcohol sales and no alcohol period on the outdoor tables.

FOAMER! :lol: :lol: :lol:

I live 150 feet from the BNSF Line that runs west from Galesburg, IL to god only knows where........There is a crossing 1 block to my west that all the west bound trains blow that very loud horn at. There is a crossing 1 block to my east that all of the East bounders blow that very loud horn at. Did I mention that Horn was loud?

I used to like trains............

never knew you could eat pizzeria, sounds like a case of the squirts after some Italian food...anyway:

I'm surprised they would run a UP unit on the point. I guess that is the NS main from Manassas, VA to Atlanta. I never rode the NS, they had a rep for being squirrely and unfriendly. Always rode the good 'ol mom & pop CSX in the south even if I had to go the long way round via Jacksonville.

I met one of these nuts in PA once. There are pages and pages of urls for these guys. They can tell all the different train horns by sound and some have big seagoing ship horns in their personal vehicles.

[kc7jty]

Not too far. It's a really cool place with the railroad, old canal ruins, Appalachian trail, and all that history.
