Berth Posted August 21, 2014 Share #14261 Posted August 21, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) I didn't say which side of the border, just within 100 miles of the border. Could be on the Canadian side or the US side. it's a national park in either case. A hundred miles of the border puts it in Montana, North Dakota, Saskatchewan, or Manitoba. What do I win?

tundraline Posted August 21, 2014 Share #14262 Posted August 21, 2014 So not RMNP in Manitoba, I take it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
woorob Posted August 21, 2014 Share #14263 Posted August 21, 2014 Hello Berth, to win you must provide a more precise guess. Next hint -- the photo was taken in a national park in a US border state between Washington state to the west and Minnesota to the east. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tundraline Posted August 21, 2014 Share #14264 Posted August 21, 2014 Can't be Glacier National Park. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berth Posted August 21, 2014 Share #14265 Posted August 21, 2014 Hello Berth, to win you must provide a more precise guess. Next hint -- the photo was taken in a national park in a US border state between Washington state to the west and Minnesota to the east. You didn't like Montana or North Dakota when I offered them earlier. I've been through northern Idaho and it doesn't look very much like that, aside from the fact there are no National Parks in Idaho within 100 miles of the border. Glacier National Park in Montana abuts Canada but Glacier is mountains. Theodore Roosevelt National Park looks like that but is more than 100 miles from Canada. Beats me.

woorob Posted August 21, 2014 Share #14266 Posted August 21, 2014 Berth, you/ve been (and still are) really close, and in fact you've mentioned the location as one possibility. The distance from the Canadian is "as the crow flies," and at that just barely less than 100 miles from the border measured in a straight line. This picture, taken about 25 miles "as the crow flies" from the one I posted earlier, should help identify the location: Welcome, dear visitor!

Berth Posted August 21, 2014 Share #14267 Posted August 21, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) Berth, you/ve been (and still are) really close, and in fact you've mentioned the location as one possibility. The distance from the Canadian is "as the crow flies," and at that just barely less than 100 miles from the border measured in a straight line. This picture, taken about 25 miles "as the crow flies" from the one I posted earlier, should help identify the location: You win. Montana has two national parks, Glacier and Yellowstone. That photo wasn't of either. North Dakota has one, the Theodore Roosevelt National Park. You didn't seem to accept it when I mentioned North Dakota, or the park, earlier. I was "close" only. Looking at a map of the park, the North Unit looks to be within a 100 miles of Canada, aside from the fact I'm not a crow, and, unlike a crow, can't measure flight distance. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
woorob Posted August 21, 2014 Share #14268 Posted August 21, 2014 Berth, you got it -- Theodore Roosevelt National Park in North Dakota. I probably should have given it to you a round or so ago, but was looking for a definitive single location. My apologies. In any event, your initial guess was prescient and on the money. It's a beautiful place, now surrounded by oil rigs and the most truck traffic 24/7 I've ever seen. Over to you! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been to all 50 of the US states, have visual memories of each, the topography of that area among them. I've actually stopped at the Theodore Roosevelt National Park back in 2011 whilst on a cross-country motorcycle journey in celebration of my 70th year, but in the South Unit, not the North, land of fracking. Let me throw out an easy one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

vertekijker Posted August 22, 2014 Share #14272 Posted August 22, 2014 Another prairie photo maybe? Thank you for resisting the urge, as Europeans we are at a disadvantage when trying to identify the grassy hills and valleys of North America. I am going to look for something in the old archives.
