Now, that's a pretty cool looking exhibit. Did you block out the state of the car licenses? Dirty pool....

It wouldn't be Mars, Pennsylvania would it?

What is this, where is it, where did it come from?

This is muscle powered, and participated in a event with other things like it, but not necessarily things that look like it.

Perhaps one of the sculptures from the Kinetic Sculpture Race?

Lovely Victorian Ferndale; off US101 a bit south of Eureka.

Movie location for "Outbreak" and "The Majestic".

Has some great B&Bs.

End point of the annual multi-day Arcata-to-Ferndale Kinetic Sculpture Race.

The shot was taken in a small gallery/museum in Ferndale in 2003; may still be there for all I know.

I couldn't really see enough of the store, but it's probably where Hobart Brown, the founder of the KSR movement (there are now several dozen such races around the world) lived for many years. RTA covered the race in 1996 and in 2006. In fact, in 2006, RoadTrip America was one of two principal sponsors of the Kinetic Sculpture Race.

One of the more enduring aspects of the race was the slogan and the concept that no really raced to win -- but rather one raced.... "For the Glory"

You've probably seen this building... But what is it's official name and more challenging... What is the mailing address here?

It looks like some kind of educational establishment, maybe East Coast, but beyond that ...

[Mark Sedenquist]

It is an educational facility and is over 200 years old....

That is Healy Hall at Georgetown University.

{Yep, you're correct -- I thought that 200-year clue would do it! -- Mark}
