"Where in North America?" -- Section I

[Mark Sedenquist]

I-5 on the approach to Tacoma, Washington?

[glc]

Right state, wrong city.

[UKCraig]

How about this?



(Mark is barred from answering as I am pretty sure he has been there more than once!!)

{Mark: It's possible I've been there a dozen times in the last two years....}

[Mark Sedenquist]

How about this one, folks?

Well.... it's not Everett, Seattle... we need a hint!

[glc]

Other side of the state!

[Mark Sedenquist]

I'm still stumped -- but how about Spokane?

Valley of Fire?

[Quebec Gen]

I would move it farther north -- I am guessing Wind Cave in Wind Cave National Park in South Dakota.

Grrrr, you beat me to it, I would've known in an instant. I went through that park before heading to Torrington for the branding.:)

Correct! Doesn't seem like many people visit that area. It was just me and the Border Patrol.

I went to that park in 2007, I thought I was the only one there...until I saw 3 guys running from one bush to the other, trying to hide from the border patrollers. Lovely park, but not as quiet as it seems at first.;-)

The French explorers who named the mountains thought the same thing.

As a matter of fact, "tetons" is still used in French slang today but it sounds more like "totons".

[glc]

Spokane is correct, but that's heading east on I-90.

[Mark Sedenquist]

Well, that was dumb... I thought I was looking at the Cascades!

Thanks for the hints!
