Name That Place Game

I know it works on any Windows computer - Canadian or otherwise. 

The Canadian part was a joke, but I can't get it to work on this Windows computer. 

If I'm not mistaken someone on this Forum had that bridge in his avatar. 

I think that avatar was a bridge from the tri-cities, Washington area.

That doesn't work for me.  Must only work on Canadian keyboards.  for people who have a clue.

FIFY

Nope, northeast somewhere.  Taken from the rider in front of him as they crossed it.  He was wearing one of those all hi-viz Olympia jackets.

Perhaps I will add another small clue - pretty good chance you would cross this if you were doing a "Four Corners" ride.  Especially if you were enjoying the scenic route.  Pretty amazing public observation platform at the top of the left pylon.

I think it's the Penobscot Narrows Bridge in Maine. We crossed it coming back from the Cabot Trail in Nova Scotia.

 

[RossKean]

Absolutely!   Not far from the Eastern-most point of the 50 states near Lubec ME.  108 miles along the scenic (and touristy) #1.  Do it on a weekday.  Detour to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park while you are there. A ride around that and Cadillac Mountain- very much worth a day.  Read about the bridge and observatory.

EDIT!! I did something stupid again. My previous hint was "The object below is a misnomer." I got confused about what the body of water was in this location. I would explain more but I will probably use that in a future place. I will post a better hint.

 

[Goodman4]

 There is a much better hint visible in this view:

 

[Panman]

Hwy 70 Feather river Canyon?

Hwy 70 Feather river Canyon?

It's in the opposite side of the country, Panman. The road in the first pic is named after a country singer, which should tell you something about the location. Also, it is between two states.

 

[Goodman4]

I'll bet lots of people in the southeast have been through here even though it is over 60 miles from any Interstate highway. There are lots of great twisty roads all around this area. It's also about 60 miles from several people's favorite twisty road (not 129) so that one makes a good loop with the road below. The pic below and the first one posted are standing in one state looking at another.

There are lots of deep canyons east of the Mississippi River and this one claims to be the deepest in some of the park literature, but it probably isn't. Maybe all these canyons along this old range of mountains look similar which makes guessing it harder. That's all you get for now so "them's the way it goes".

Breaks Interstate Park?

 

[1911]

That's dredging up some memories.

 

[Goodman4]

Breaks Interstate Park?

Correct! It’s on the border of KY and west Virginia but not West Virginia. 

I would’ve been very surprised if you hadn’t been here, 1911. You’re up!!

you must have done some hiking or trail riding to get those shots?

 

[Goodman4]

No, that was down the short trail in full gear. I think the one is state line overlook and the second is tower tunnel overlook.

Griff's post reminded me of this one

 

[Bugnatr]

Somewhere east of the Rockies and west of the Mississippi.

Cool picture.

 

[Goodman4]

It has an eastern Colorado or Nebraska vibe to me. I can't remember seeing it.
