"Where in North America?" -- Section I

[Foy]

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....

Where is it? How long as it been there? How many people ride on it each year?

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’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.
