Identify this photo

First topic message reminder :

Let's try something fun. Everyone is going to be heading out camping soon, I thought we could post photos and have people guess where they are. Here's the ground rules (this is a work in progress, so expect changes):

1. I'll post one photo (or multiple photos of one location) at a time. After it is identified, we can start over with a new one. I'll start us off with this one; after it is identified someone else can post another photo.

2. The photo must have a unique characteristic so it can be identified. A photos of a camp site in the pines is nice, but it has to have something unique to identify it from all the other camp site photos.

3. Once a photo is identified, we will start again.

Correct.

Did you go through the museum? We got there too late for the indoor museum, but were able to walk around all the pumps etc. that were in the outdoor self guided tour.

We stayed at Oil Patch RV Park.

No, the only time I was in Texas was a stopover at the DFW for a layover. I noticed there were no mountains in the background so it had to be in the midwest or southern states.

But after searching Google images, I found it. I figured it'd have to be in Texas close to your location. Is that cheating?

Actually, I don't know if there are any official rules. I have one that I self-impose on myself. If I find the answer in Google, I wait a day or so. That way, if someone knows the answer from experience, they can have a shot at it. If I'm pretty sure I know the answer, but want to check it, I search Google, then I don't feel I have to wait so long to reply. But, like I said, I'm not aware of any rules - it's just to have fun.

Tater

Yes, just for fun.

Next?

It's been awhile. Anybody know this one? There's a great clue in the picture.

i believe that is the inside of the blue whale off I-44(old route 66) in catoosa,ok

Blue Whale I second what ff185 said.

I'm sure you saw the clue (fishhook) and knew exactly what it was. ;-)

Tater

Name the coaster and its location (business).

Could be Las Vegas, Sahara.

Nope. Not Sahara.

Desparado @ Buffalo Bills in Primm, NV

Correct, jetskier.

Here's another, folks.

Sorry about the blurriness.... and the slight tilt.

What's he looking at and where is it?

He is looking at some Indian paintings.

Moab, UT

Scruffy,
Have no clue where a silver metal pointy thingy would be growing out of the side of a hill with a solar panel behind it!!

I agree with Frank and scottz on the other pic. Petroglyphs in Moab, Utah. Drove right by a place like that in May when I went wheeling out there....

Right on Scott. It's on a cliff face about 16' off the ground along side of the Colorado River. Good catch.

Appears to be somewhere in the southwest. Where else would you find a solar powered, metal cactus?

This metal cactus sits on the hill off I-40 West at the "Albuquerque City Limit" sign.
Albuquerque, New Mexico

I type in Scott's clue "Appears to be somewhere in the southwest. Where else would you find a solar powered, metal cactus?"
Scott

Guess I should have thought of that. Also should have known since I'm there a few times every month.

Next?

I don't know about the solar power. We've never been through there after dark. I suppose it could have a spotlight lighting it up at night.

I'm running out of pictures.

Probably too easy, but then all my photos are. Where is this?

I would say its Penns Landing in Philly, since its a picture of a Duck Boat, but the water looks too clean to be Philly.

Could it be Wisconsin Dells?

That would also be my guess.

We rode the Ducks at Wisconsin Dells about 40 years ago..... was fun. Haven't been to the Dells since.


Tater

Nope, not in Pennsylvania or Wisconsin. Maybe this isn't as easy as I thought it was. The body of water does contain a lot of Trout though.

How about Branson, Mo they have the duck rides. We did in 1992.

Rhino has it. Branson, MO is the answer. The Duck was on Taneycomo Lake and I took the photo from Branson Landing.
