    Name That Place Game

    Correct!  This was on July 24 two years ago and the rim road had only been open two weeks. It also closes on Nov 1 most years. Take that into consideration if planning on seeing this beautiful place and riding the 33 mile loop around it. The lower entrance was open June 15 in 2019 so at least...

    Ok, this one is an easy one but I'm making it only moderately recognizable in the second pic. The first one is just a reminder that the roads are decent here too but it's hard to notice the road due to the scenery. Super easy ones to come later if nobody gets it from this.

    Name That Place Game

    I remember Gunnison very well. Our Southwest trip in 2015 was our first experience with the amazing canyons and rocks of Utah, AZ, NM and NV. When we first got into New Mexico we were stopping and taking pics of just basic rock formations along the road. Then by the time we had done the 5 big...

    Name That Place Game

    I know the city from the hint but I’m not sure of the state. I’m pretty sure it’s not the one 20 miles from my house, but it might be the one a couple states over which I’ve been through a couple times. Not guessing due to travel.

    I don’t see where anyone guessed your first one, which was the Devil Boat in Arco Idaho. Interesting story.  I’m on vacation (without a motorcycle🙁) so no access to pics. So it’s cool you did a second one.

    I have also not been here but I recognize the art (?) piece from research on my 2019 trip. We almost went to this area, but it was one of the places we had to cut.  I'll give somebody else a chance who may have actually been there, but I'll guess it in a few days if not.

    It's a beautiful mountain (and a fantastic pic) but I'm thinking I haven't been there. I'm guessing to narrow it down that it is in Washington.

    Panman is correct! Your turn if you have one to post. I really love Mt Shasta and I think it is one of the most beautiful mountains. I told my Mt Shasta story in my trip report but I'll tell it again here... We stayed in the town of Mt Shasta and I wanted to get away from the city lights and...

    1st cross country ride

    My surprise on my first long trip was a bad sunburn in the little triangle spot by my thumb in my mesh gloves on each hand. It was like somebody burned me with a tiny iron.

    First Track Day at Mid-Ohio

    I did my one track day with the FJR at Barber, but I might consider going back on the FJR. I felt like it had enough to hang with the others. I did feel a little out of place but it was weight not performance. It was faster than the sub liters on the straight's but then I lost out in the...

    Next place is quite a ways from the last few: I doubt anyone will get this from this first one with it shrouded in the clouds, but let's start slow since the thread has been slowing down anyway.

    Ross, to clarify, is Twillingate the town you were looking for from the first pic? Or is it Crow Head? Or other? I haven't found a pic with that red and white striped water tower yet...

    Ross, I's the b'y that likes that area. I could tell from the lighthouse that I had not been there on my trip to BC and Nova Scotia so I planned on giving it a few days and then come back to do some hunting. Looking at it today, I found the light is Long Point Light. I see now that you gave us...

    Thanks Ross! You are correct! Do you want to post a pic? I'm sure you've got a lot up in the Northeast that would be fun to search for... On Shelburne Falls, the rocks are the "Glacial Potholes" and the movie filmed there was "The Judge" with Robert Duvall, Robert Downey Jr, and Billy Bob...

    Ok remember you don't have to have been there and you don't have to post a pic. All you have to do is figure out where there is bridge for traffic: and a more famous trolley bridge that has been converted to look like this: It's a ____ of ____  Somebody help a brother out and google it 🙂

    Hint: If you describe very simply what the original picture is you will have its name and a Google search will bring it up.

    It's on the other side of the country. You made me do some research because I didn't know much about the rocks. I researched more about the bridge and the flowers back when we were there.  But yes, they are granite, and gneiss in particular. I don't know what that is but it sounds nice. 😏 To be...

    Okay, here is the second semi-well-known site in this town. Don't drive on this road as there are too many potholes.
