Name That Place Game

[Goodman4]

Hint - this was mid-October and it was about 95 in the afternoon.

Hwy 170 in Big Bend National Park! My first time through last month on the way home from SFO under cloudy skies and 60 degrees. Have to get back there and explore more, what a cool park.

 

[Goodman4]

Exactamundo, Bugnatr! You helped solidify my decision to go the extra distance to go through this park with your comments from your trip. We loved it!

You are up!

Clue, not in Canada.

Clue, not in Canada.

If the clue is also a hint… I’ll guess Alaska?

 

[Bugnatr]

If the clue is also a hint… I’ll guess Alaska?

Nope on both....

 

[Goodman4]

That looks like a Washington style ferry to me. Maybe near Seattle? The one I took was a lot bigger so I don't think I've been exactly there.

I will guess Inchellium Washington crossing the Columbia River to Gifford Washington, but the image of the dock does not agree with the dock image on Google maps. But perhaps the dock was replaced in the last 15 years. I think the photo was taken in Sept 2006.

Most definitely Inchellium ferry landing on the West bank. Confirmed by piling and trees across the river.

Yes, That's it. Dock looks the same but a few of the tall wooden line ups are gone. The last time through there at least 10 years ago those tall wooden line ups had been hit by the ferry. Your up Jim.

Connoisseurs of twisties will know where I shot this photo in 2003.

 

[Bugnatr]

Looks like the Sierra Nevada Mountains in Ca or in other words most roads in my backyard. Mosquito Ridge Road, LaPorte Road, etc ?

 

[biknflyfisher]

Sure looks like portions of both Ebbetts Pass and Sonora Pass roads in Central CA.

 

[Fontanaman]

Pick one! Shot gun guesses get no hints.

 

[biknflyfisher]

OK, I’m going with Sonora Pass, Highway 108…..

 

[Fontanaman]

Yes this photo was taken just a few miles west of the Sonora Pass summit. Great jog Biknflyfisher. You are it!

 

[biknflyfisher]

That’s what I thought - looking downhill to the west after crossing the pass.

OK, here’s one for lighthouse buffs.
The only starting hint is that it’s on the left coast…..
I can give more if nobody has ideas….

 

[Goodman4]

We went up 395 in our Cali ride, but didn't make it across Sonora. I'll have to add that to the wish list. As to the lighthouse above, I'm pretty sure we haven't been there.

 

[biknflyfisher]

OK, here’s the entrance to the lighthouse.
Any guesses??

 

[Fontanaman]

I will guess Point Conception lighthouse.
