Name That Place Game

Lake Itasca, the Mississippi headwaters. As a Minnesota native I believe I was in the sixth grade when the family visited and I walked across the river.

Oh man, I have that exact picture sitting out as the cover of a photobook full of pics from this place! Butchart Gardens, British Columbia.

Ding Ding Ding. Yes, we were there after CFR 18 in Nakusp. Awesome place.

Great transformation of a rock quarry.

I think we took 800 pictures there that day. It's a photographer's paradise.

Next place:

I doubt anyone can get this from just the road pics, so I will post a better hint tomorrow or Monday. But just in case - this is one of the 5 most fun technical roads in the country in my opinion. 

 

[Goodman4]

As promised - here is a much better hint. You can stop at this store right before the road gets good:



I had to block out a few hints in the pic that would have made it easy. I also have pics of the sign in the background or the gas pump that would give it away. The number 489 is on several things but that isn't the road.

I would guess Arkansas 123, but that pavement looks more pristine than the last time I was down there 5 years ago.

Nope. Wrong state. 123 is close to my top 5 but doesn't quite make it. This one has more back and forth feel. Also more trees.

The Snake!

 

[Goodman4]

The Snake!

Correct! It is appropriately named too. My favorite part is the serpentine curves. More quick back and forth than most as I remember.

You are up

This one may be a bit tough.. or not.

Nevada. I think,  cathedral gorge??

Yes indeed, helps that you and Patti were there with us and a herd of FJR's on our way to SWFOG in Cedar City. Good times!

I believe Ray is out buying a Guzzi so here's the next one...

Since Thermopolis is the World's largest mineral hot springs and that matches the tourist info, I think that will be a safe guess. Pretty cool pic. Makes me sad Thermopolis was the part we cut out of our 2018 trip all over Wyoming and Colorado. 

 

[Bugnatr]

Yes you are correct. My bud and I stayed in town on our ride to Minnesota last September but didn't have time to soak in the mineral water. I want to go back with my wife, it's a unique place.
