Sorry Mark, not there, much further south. If you're going west from there, you can soak in these:Quote:

Although I heard they might be closing real soon (if not already).
The log cabin looks like it could be either in Utah or in the Vermillion Cliffs area...??
Not Saguaro................Quote:

Mark
....and the cabin is in Utah -- but it is a relatively "famous" cabin....
Yes! Organ Pipe National Monument. SW ArizonaQuote:

Yes, the Imperial Sand Dunes!
Hey, why did you give it away? I was going to ask for more hints!:)Quote:

From memory only, but I am thinking it could be Epcot Center. (And I won't jump the gun on answers any more....)
OK, it's not Epcot -- hmmmm, have to start looking....

Biosphere in Montreal
Here's another:

I know you were in the first of the cars allowed over the "Going to the Sun Highway" in Glacier National Park last year and I although I can't identify this section of highway --- I bet it was somewhere on this route?

Gen's geodesic dome is the US Pavilion from Expo '67, Montréal.

Wow Mark; you are good!
Anyone wanna take a guess at this?

Craig is right, it is the Biosphere now, but it used to be the USA Pavilion at Expo 67 World's Fair as Buck stated. Perfectly preserved.

You guys are way too good at this. The only ones I've known so far were the Organ Pipe photo and the Sequoia seed.
Best make that three - well done!Quote:

edit : crap, Michael beat me to it!:)
Hawaii someplace? Maybe the road to Ka Lae?
I'm off to bed now... would love to stay and play tho!
I believe this is a statue of Mark Twain and it must be somewhere in Missouri according to the flag...After a bit of research, I located that statue in Hannibal.Quote:

Well both Michael and Gen already figured out that there were only three possibilities for the bridge which left sight of land. This one
http://www.roadtripamerica.com/blog/...f176a75ec0.jpg
is, I believe, the Conquistador statue in Balboa Park, San Diego.
You are right! One of the loveliest municipal park I've seen.Quote:

The Québec City Waterfront, and a lovely view to boot.
AZBuck
Nope, its not in Hawaii or on any island for that matter.Quote:

Baja Calornia Sur -- near the Sea of Cortez? I noticed that all of the air conditioning units are swamp coolers but I don't know if that mountain with the antennas is in the correct spot for this.
Mark
Mark : just swim across the Sea of Cortez and head north!
With that clue, I would venture.... maybe Guaymas? Beyond that, I won't get much closer -- the farthest south I've ever been is San Felipe in Baja California....

Hmmmm, Cumberland Gap in KY?Quote:

Remember, I told Craig its south of the Keys, but I do hope to drive back there in my own car someday. On my way, I'd probably stop by this place again:
I'm guessing then I'd wash ashore around Rocky Point?Quote:

It looks like the Riviera Maya (architecture + tourists + tope sign), but the sign that says "insurance" makes me doubt. However, if it's south of the Keys it can only be in Hawaii if it's within the US and since you mentioned it is not in Hawaii, it has to be in Mexico!
@Mark & Michael: Look south of Rocky Point and north of Guaymas.
You are half right. The second picture is Tulum, the Mayan City on the coast south of Cancun and Playa del Carmen.Quote:

However, that's still a couple hundred miles from the first pictures. (although, you are on the right track with the insurance clue.)
