doubice Posted August 2, 2009 Share #1922 Posted August 2, 2009 (edited) Tule Lake? Sorry, the only Tule Lake I could find through Google is one in California - very far from Whitehorse and the Yukon Territory.....

doubice Posted August 3, 2009 Share #1924 Posted August 3, 2009 Gold rush - hum - Klondike...? You're on the right track. Just follow the Chilkoot Pass and the Klondike Trail - the gold prospectors has to cross through here on their way to Whitehorse and Dawson City.

Just follow the Chilkoot Pass and the Klondike Trail - the gold prospectors has to cross through here on their way to Whitehorse and Dawson City. Best, Jan Dvořák It's some time since I read Jack London and I never made it north of BC. However, taking your hint, I would guess it's Johnsons Crossing.

doubice Posted August 3, 2009 Share #1927 Posted August 3, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) Great Slave Lake? Olsen, The Great Slave Lake is not in the Yukon Territory - it is in the Northwest Territories, about 1500 km's away. It would have been quite a detour for somebody who was travelling through the Chilkoot Pass to Whitehorse.......Read my responses to your guesses, there are many clues - all are pasted below.. Best, Jan Somewhere in Yukon Territory? Like White Horse Yukon? That is very close, Olsen..... I need a more precise location - think lake, railway, gold rush..... Gold rush - hum - Klondike...? You're on the right track. Just follow the Chilkoot Pass and the Klondike Trail - the gold prospectors had to cross through here on their way to Whitehorse and Dawson City.

However, taking your hint, I would guess it's Johnsons Crossing. Stefan Stefan, You got the right hint but the wrong location. Slightly further west....... It has also been quite some time snce I read Jack London but I don't think he ever mentioned this place in any of his books. Best, Jan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olsen Posted August 3, 2009 Share #1929 Posted August 3, 2009 (edited) Squanga Lake....or Carcross Bridge? Edited August 3, 2009 by Olsen Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubice Posted August 4, 2009 Share #1930 Posted August 4, 2009 Squanga Lake....or Carcross Bridge? The correct answer is Carcross so Carcross Bridge is pretty close. After a long battle the batton goes to Olsen. Best, Jan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olsen Posted August 4, 2009 Share #1931 Posted August 4, 2009 I am coming back to this within a few days. I will try to find something at the same the latitude. Something for you guys that use long underware most of the year... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob_x2004 Posted August 6, 2009 Share #1934 Posted August 6, 2009 No idea. Rule out car importers ex haven Vladivostok? I cant really see it. You could even tell me its Hawaii in a blizard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olsen Posted August 6, 2009 Share #1935 Posted August 6, 2009 Spitsbergen was close, but no. So was Vladivostok. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olsen Posted August 6, 2009 Share #1936 Posted August 6, 2009 Hint: Europe. but not within the European Union. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubice Posted August 6, 2009 Share #1937 Posted August 6, 2009 Hint: Europe. but not within the European Union. Well, it is either Iceland or Norway. I don't think it gets this cold in Iceland so my vote goes to Norway. As to where in Norway, they have a pretty long coast........ Best, Jan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olsen Posted August 6, 2009 Share #1938 Posted August 6, 2009 (edited) Jan, You are very close. Could you be more specific? To help you out I have attached a picture of the same scene taken four months later.... Welcome, dear visitor!

doubice Posted August 6, 2009 Share #1939 Posted August 6, 2009 Jan, You are very close. Could you be more specific? To help you out I have attached a picture of the same scene taken four months later.... More specific with thousands of kilometers of coastline? Pretty tough without hints..... Since the pictures were taken from the same location I can assume that you may live close by. Is it Oslo? Does it get that cold in Oslo?

Olsen Posted August 6, 2009 Share #1940 Posted August 6, 2009 Jan, I gave a hint that I would pick a destination that was 'at the same latitude as Whitehorse'. Well, Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada is at about 60 degrees, while the Oslo Harbour is at 59 degrees plus some minutes. Indeed it gets 'so cold here in Oslo'. Last winter was mild, actually. Back in the 60' you could go skating from Oslo to Copenhagen during some of the 'really' cold winters. Oslo is correct. I live right up the hill in the background. Congratulations, Jan. Your turn!
