Recommended Posts

Alright - to continue in the obscure railway traditon, where are we and what is the body of water in the background at the extreme right?

 

Good luck,

 

Jan

Thanks Jan,

 

One of the laborers who built that pass was my Grandfather's Cousin, Klondike Mike. He is more famous, or so he said, for carrying a piano on his back up Chilkoot Pass for some ladies in the "Entertainment" business who were on their way to Dawson.

 

In any case, the following picture is of a small portion of a wildlife refuge. Behind the trees in the background is a famous river.

 

Where are we, and what is the name of the refuge?

Gary,

 

I hiked the Chilkoot Pass about 15 years ago and found remnants of many pianos, stoves and other heavy items discarded along the route over a century ago.....

 

As to the famous river - haven't got a clue.

 

Best,

 

Jan

Jan,

 

I am sorry, but it is not anywhere in the four-corner States.

 

Robert,

 

No, not there, but you are getting closer

 

As a hint I submit the following from a web site:

 

"A portion of the refuge is accessible by boat...

 

Most areas of the refuge are very remote with no restroom or drinking water facilities. There is no public drinking water available. Refuge visitors should plan their trips accordingly.

 

Thousands of ducks and geese winter on the islands, and many different species rest here during spring and fall migration."

The name of this event please.

Hope it's mysterious enough.

Hai, Noriko. Good job. I thought more hints would be required.

 

It is now your turn to tantalize us with a mystery.

The clue only required you to Google the quote. By you, I mean me. I googled the quote and up it came.
