hah honestly it isn't posed at all. and we were waiting for the ship to turn around so it could continue to fire, the island is used for Naval gun fire and close air support (dumb bombs) I was there for naval gunfire school...good times.

[annietex]

ok, due to time constraints I'm going to have to leave this open to the first taker!

Ah man, I should have been able to get that. My squadron used to go there once a year for bombing exercises. I never got a chance to go though. I had no idea where the place was. :cry:

[corbie3]

USA?

[Nimitz87]

yes.

[FlyingPhotog]

Thanks Chad. It looked familiar and I thought I'd been there, but I was wrong! I've been not far from there though. Next wain is coming up shortly.

[Nimitz87]

very nice place. only accessible by boat or plane.

Chad

[corbie3]

OK here is the next one. Wain? Name of the road please.

http://www.wildlifeweb.co.uk/wain.jpg

[Roy Mathers]

The Icefield Parkway?

[corbie3]

Close but that's not the one.

[monty28428]

Trans-Canada Highway ?

[corbie3]

No, think smaller.

[corbie3]

I have to head off shortly. Here's a clue- although this is not a major road it is one of the best known places in the west of Canada to see wildlife.

[monty28428]

Banff Avenue ?

[monty28428]

probably not...

[corbie3]

Banff Avenue ?

Not far off it Monty! This road starts just outside Banff.

[monty28428]

Tunnel Mountain Road ?

[monty28428]

Cave Avenue ?

[monty28428]

mount norquay road ?

[corbie3]

Tunnel Mountain Road ?

Nope, you need to head out of Banff a way before turning off.

[monty28428]

Out of the park or out of the town ?

[monty28428]

Sunshine Road ?

[corbie3]

Out of the park or out of the town ?

LOL I think I'll have to give it away- you are so close- head out towards Lake Louise on the Trans-Canada; but turn off just outside of town onto the 1A (also known as the Bow Valley Parkway). This road is the "alternative" route through the park and is so choc full of animals that a 35 mph speed limit is imposed. It is the only place I've ever seen (and heard) wolf, but also great for bears, coyotes, deer, eagles.
I'm not sure whether you or Roy was the closest, Monty! I guess it can be open to the first poster.

[corbie3]

'Night all.

[monty28428]

Night Paul!

[tomd]

Good night Paul.

[Roy Mathers]

I shall be following him soon...zzz

[Nimitz87]

okay I'll post again...and to keep with the road idea.

WAIN?

[Roy Mathers]

Death VAlley?

[Nimitz87]

[Roy Mathers]

I was going to guess the same location. :oops:

[Nimitz87]

It is the US I assume? California?

yes it is the US, no nor cali.

I was going to guess the same location. :oops:

sorry didn't answer, was enjoying dinner!

[tomd]

Colorado?

[Nimitz87]

Colorado?

nope not Colorado. pretty close to cali.

[monty28428]

Nevada ? 95 ?

[tomd]

I'll guess: route 66, Arizona side?

[Nimitz87]

Nevada ? 95 ?

it is in Nevada and hwy 95. looking to find what the road is in the background. pretty famous.



I'll guess: route 66, Arizona side?

No sir not Route 66. Route 66 straight as an arrow!

Ding dong - I did not think it would last long, over to you :)

PS For the record Murano is a lovely place to visit, it is so to speak a smaller version of Venice itself and to watch the glass blowers/makers at work was fascinating.

[corbie3]

Thanks BB. I've never been in that area, must visit some time.
I'm onto older prints now for wain, so it'll be a few minutes while I scan one in.
