"Where in North America?" --- Section IX

[CalOldBlue]

Yep.

Formerly a luxury yacht (built in Germany in the 1920s).

Now a gift shop.

OK, how about this building? Name, and location?

But by George, that's some monumental masonry, Alex!

[Mark Sedenquist]

Yep, CalOldBlue is busy dropping clues -- pretty funny -- me thinks you must have seen this recently?

Wow Cal, my mind recognized it, but without your clues, I would not have remembered why. That would be the George Washington Masonic National Memorial and masonic lodge on Shuter’s Hill in Alexandria, Virginia. (I like how you just cropped out the name below.)

{From Mark: Actually Cal didn't crop the photo -- I did, but you are correct -- Yeah, I thought Don's (CalOldBlue) clues were pretty funny and on-point}

How about this beauty? This is actually where I proposed.

... on the Columbia River Gorge, Oregon, complete with Simon Benson Bridge (which, to my mind, is one of those rare man-made additions that actually enhances a scene of natural beauty). I was there a couple of years ago.

Continuing on the theme of bridges ...

[Mark Sedenquist]

That looks like the Navajo Bridge in Arizona where it crosses Marble Canyon and the Colorado River. If it is this place, click here, for a memorable tale of a colleague's father flying his airplane under the bridge.

What is this train doing on this siding? And where is this?

The Navajo Bridge doesn't have that box construction on the underside of the arch.



Is your train somewhere in the Glenwood Canyon, Colorado?

OK, I see that now -- hmmmm.

Is your train somewhere in the Glenwood Canyon, Colorado?

Train Hint #1: It is in Colorado -- but quite a ways south of Glenwood Canyon.
