Or Galapagos?

Fast! Yes, Cadillac Mountain, Acadia National Park. Those are the Porcupine Islands. I think. That was the part I wasn't entirely sure about. I knew it was Cadillac Mountain because I climbed up the motherfucker.

When I say "climbed" I actually mean "followed a groomed trail spiraling up to the top of the mountain." Which is significant because after reaching the top, appreciating the scenery, and being proud of myself for not screaming and falling off the sides of this relatively weathered and rounded chunk of pink granite, it was time to go and started back off down the path. my friend says, no, this way, pointing to a set of steps. 10 seconds later I was standing at my car, cursing her out for not suggesting this route at the outset.

Yes, I let her live. She knew how to get to the lobster pound.

lol

Yeah, I never understood why anyone would hike up Cadillac only to see a parking lot at the top. The journey is great and all, but not when the destination could have been reached so easily and was, by hundreds of other people.

Did you find my stuff? The back of our Pathfinder opened up while going up Cad Mt unbeknownst to us and a bag fell out, containing a Toonces the Driving Cat t-shirt, and something else I'd just bought.

You can't drive down the same way you drive up, so we just wrote them off.

Here's one. I've never been here, but it looks cool. Where's this?

wolf · 10-31-2011, 12:42 PM

I get as far as "looks like a lock" and stall.

I tried the Welland Canal around Niagara Falls, but that all looks too old.

St Lawrence and Houston ship canals are the only two that come to my memory... maybe Sacramento has locks on some of their waterways ?

Otherwise, nothin.

glatt · 10-31-2011, 01:53 PM

think bigger

infinite monkey · 10-31-2011, 01:55 PM

A man, a plan, a canal...Panama?

glatt · 10-31-2011, 01:58 PM

nope

infinite monkey · 10-31-2011, 02:00 PM

Do I get some credit for answering in palindrome?

glatt · 10-31-2011, 02:05 PM

Only if you invented that palindrome. I heard it years ago. Did it originate with you? It's a good one.

infinite monkey · 10-31-2011, 02:05 PM

Yeah, I wrote it.

infinite monkey · 10-31-2011, 02:07 PM

Grand Canal, China

Suez Canal, Egypt

FYI: It's not a canal.
