Name That Place Game

[Panman]

I never figured out the picture thing so somebody else can step up.

I'll throw one in for you Ray, name the town.

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.

I'll let it pas but some good reads and scary stuff.

I hope this isnt breaking the rules; here’s a Canadian location.

Hints tomorrow.

Aug 5 - this rock formation is named after a famous ship.

-Steve

 

[sapest]

Ok, an edit doesnt trigger an activity alert.

See hint above.

-Steve

 

[sapest]

More than a dozen movies have been made about the ship.

US location -

Hey NAVY, even a NUB should know this!

Canada location -

Forget famous ships, there are dinosaurs also (well, bones at least)

Closest I have been was about five hours away - to the southeast of your location at the top of the most scenic ride I have ever done.

AB-93?

AB-93?

Yep - Froze my ass off during the last week of June but the vistas were unbelievable.

I hope to get a little further north when I venture that way sometime in the next year or two.

“Ice” isnt in the name for show!

That stretch of highway is reason enough to buy heated gear.

After our original run to Nakusp I rode up to Valemount and spent the night and the next day I rode down to Big Fork MT via the Ice Field Parkway (93) stopping at Lake Louise. It was over cast and 43 degrees pretty much all the way down to Lk Louise. It finally started warming up away's before I stopped at the Lake and I'm thinking Finally! But my butt got kicked all the way over 93  thru Kootenay Park and down to the Roosville Boarder crossing. I've been wet and cold before but never that cold and wet! I think it took a Double to warm up!

I'm surprised no one has cracked this one, the tower is a give away.

Ive been very lucky with the Icefields Parkway. 6 trips on FJR’s, only one when I couldnt stay warm. The heated grips earned their keep that day. At least we were dry.

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. 

 

[sapest]

Arco Idaho is correct.

Nuclear power history, Pickles Place & Craters of the Moon.

3 great reasons to visit Arco.

I can post another US location if you wish?

[RossKean]

Gets confusing with two "live" places - finish off the Canadian location first.  If it isn't drawing interest (like my Twillingate one) give it away as I did.
