I'm still stumped on your Mexico picture.
Hey, you cheated!:) Belize is not in North America. I was scratching my head trying to find the matching location within Mexico! Nevertheless, I am terribly envious, I'd love to go to Belize. Have you been there recently?Quote:

I never said it was in North america, I just said that you could drive to it from there! And of course, you could really get into the definitions of where does North America begin and end.
Those pictures were from a trip I took in 06 flying down to Cancun and then driving into Belize.
No guess on your new picture yet, but that sure is a odd place to park a school bus.
The clues are there – an old trading name on the side of the building “Carruthers Jones Shoe Co” therefore past old shoe company with large building now being used for tourism – looks like museum stuff – leads me to St Louis, Mo. Personally never been there.
Great looking at all the pics.
@ Mickael: ref.:
So, do you have any recommendation for places to see in Belize? Museums? Restaurants? Hiking spots?:) Can we see more pics?:DQuote:

City Museum, St. Louis.

No one wants to take a guess on this one? It is located in the Sunflower State.Quote:

You're right again Buck!
Hint : the bridge in the center collapsed in 1907, killing 75 people, it was rebuilt between 1913 and 1919.
The centre bridge shares with your name and the city, Quebec bridge and the other one is the pierre laporte bridge.
[Thanks for the hint] ;-)
Where on earth is this ?

That looks like Mono Lake to me. (To be specific, that looks like Paoha Island).
Mark
What does this do and where is it located?
(McDonald Observatory Photo by Gerald Thurman)
Just be looking at this and guessed at Mono Lake because of the surrounding growth. But came up with Negit Island. (pic 93)
Paoha Island looks like it as well. Are they one and the same?
Eris,
Negit Island, is actually connected to the "mainland" some of the time, and it is much smaller than Paoha as you can see in this satellite map. So, I am sticking with my earlier identification.
Mark
Mark,
Agreed, Google map makes it look as though it is Paoha Island yet when looking at some of the images in google it looks very much like Negit Island. Mind you some of these photos could be wrongly labelled.
Sorry about this but I did a right click on your photo (pic 95) to save it so I could blow it up for detail and saw the answer - McDonald Observatory, Fort Davis Tx. I guess that does not count as one to me :-)
Yeah, I could change the file names to prevent that -- but do you know the second part of the question -- what do they study there?
Mark
"The Observatory is equipped with a wide range of state-of-the-art instrumentation for imaging and spectroscopy in the optical and infrared, and operates one of the first and most productive lunar ranging stations.
Currently, McDonald operates four research telescopes at our West Texas site:
9.2m Hobby-Eberly Telescope
2.7m Harlan J. Smith Telescope
2.1m Otto Struve Telescope
0.8m Telescope
The observatory also hosts one of the four globally networked Robotic Optical Transient Search Experiment (ROTSE) telescopes, and is a Monitoring Network of Telescopes (MONET) site."

This "Guess Where" is absolutely cool. As soon as I can dedicate the time to it, I'll post some "entries". The wife acquired a scanner just yesterday and is busy digitizing some of the images from the first 25 years or so of our work and vacation travels, so I should have some good stuff fairly soon.

Sinclair is building many, many stations in Nevada -- there are two within three miles of the RTA office....
Mark
Where is it? How long as it been there? How many people ride on it each year?
(Royal Gorge Incline Looking Up Photo by Gerald Thurman)
Looks like the incline at Royal Gorge near Canon city Colorado. Don't know how long its been around but if its what I think it is, we last visited it about 1971.
I'll be watching today for other guesses...........or a hint.Quote:

I’m still with the picture (message 100) of the abandoned Sinclair gas station.
The mountains in the background at first were a puzzle until I plumed on the Oquirrh Mountains.
Google map puts a photo of a very similar gas station at Elberta ,UT, some hundred miles south of Huntsville. Click “more” on the Google map to include photos and go for picture at Elberta (junction of route 6 /68).
Congratulations Eris, it is in Elberta, UT.Quote:

In fact, RoadsideAmerica.com published a report in July, 2008 which essentially confirms that it is open again.
Is this the one?

Nope, that was Nostalgiaville outside Kingdom City.Quote:

Looks very much like the Rio Grande River – probably taken from the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge, near Taos New Mexico.
Look further north!Quote:
