AZach Posted March 18, 2017 Share #16901 Posted March 18, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hello, Parana & Yacureta are the correct answer, your turn. The Province of Corrientes may be remote but easily accessible and active area of agriculture and forestry. Regards, Arto Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pechelman Posted March 20, 2017 Share #16902 Posted March 20, 2017 Thanks, Arto. Alright, here's my submission. I have a feeling this may go pretty quick, relatively speaking. Looking for the name of the town. Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!

Michael Geschlecht Posted March 20, 2017 Share #16903 Posted March 20, 2017 Hello Phil, Nice photo. From the brickwork on the building: Could this be in the Rocky Mountains?Best Regards, Michael Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pechelman Posted March 20, 2017 Share #16904 Posted March 20, 2017 Greetings, Michael. Thanks for the kind words. You're definitely on the right track (sorry for the pun!) looking at brick work on the building. This turn of the century building is right in the heart of the Rocky Mountains. The building itself is historic and one of the big reasons this town flourished. The other couple of reasons are visible in this picture to someone who knows this location, but are obscured by the low vantage point. Both of those 2 other reasons involve water. Today the town is most famous for the other obvious thing in the picture. Best regards, Phil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pechelman Posted March 22, 2017 Share #16905 Posted March 22, 2017 Anyone else? Does this require more hints? Really thought there'd be enough here to hone in on this. There arent too many ski towns that I'm aware of that have a mountain that look quite like this (below treeline) in the Rockies, are built right in a town which was built right along the railroad, is famous for its water, and now even more known and associated with skiing and the skiers this town produces.

war Posted March 22, 2017 Share #16906 Posted March 22, 2017 The little I know about Colorado's famous water you could put in a bottle of Coors. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pechelman Posted March 22, 2017 Share #16907 Posted March 22, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) Ha. Will throw a few more hints at it then in the text below; We're not near the Coors brewery in Golden, CO. However, we arent all that far from it either. And if I remember my watersheds correctly, I believe the river in question flows WEST, while the Coors Brewery is on the EAST side of the Continental Divide. Also, it isnt the river OR even the river water that this town is named for... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikemgb Posted March 23, 2017 Share #16908 Posted March 23, 2017 Glenwood Springs? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pechelman Posted March 23, 2017 Share #16909 Posted March 23, 2017 Mike That is an excellent guess, and on so many levels you are on the right track, but that is the wrong town. Glenwood doesnt have a ski resort either. Phil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikemgb Posted March 23, 2017 Share #16910 Posted March 23, 2017 Mike That is an excellent guess, and on so many levels you are on the right track, but that is the wrong town. Glenwood doesnt have a ski resort either. Phil But it's a beautiful town. How about Breckenridge? Yes, I'm guessing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pechelman Posted March 23, 2017 Share #16911 Posted March 23, 2017 I do love Glenwood, though I admit, I'm usually just passing through to go somewhere further west or south. You were much closer with your Glenwood SPRINGS guess in the previous post Breck has the resort, but wasnt really settled/named due to a notable water feature, no train or historic train building, and also while somewhat known for skiing, isnt as notable as this town is for its contribution to skiing. Especially in the Olympics. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikemgb Posted March 23, 2017 Share #16912 Posted March 23, 2017 Hot Sulphur Springs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pechelman Posted March 23, 2017 Share #16913 Posted March 23, 2017 Ha We're running out of towns called X Springs in Colorado. Keep going, you'll get it eventually. I should note however, this town does have a spring that is about 300 yards away from where I took this picture called Sulphur Springs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pechelman Posted March 25, 2017 Share #16916 Posted March 25, 2017 anyone else? to summarize where we are on what has been guessed correctly We are in Colorado in a town that ends with the word "Springs" The town was settled and named for the spring(s) Settled on a major river and experienced growth as a town thanks to the rail road building visible in the picture Has produced numerous Olympic athletes for all the skiing sports. The town also has a nickname which involves skiing. Today is probably most famous for the big ski resort visible in the picture which is also a bit unusual for Colorado since it is totally below tree line. Hoping to hand this over to someone before Monday since I leave on a business trip where I wont have much access to reply to other guesses. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
