The original PW was changed after the whole Katy fiasco and the new PW wasn't sent out.. I PMd PSU for the new one.

8/10

One was a dumb mistake 'cause I knew the answer.

[smackaholic]

what did you miss, dummy?

[Mikey]

I missed Cuyahoga, but I knew that one. I was a little confused, it was so early in the morning.

Got North and South Dakota mixed up. That was a 50/50 guess for me.

10/10, but I've only been to one of 'em, and I got the Isle Royale one because of smackie's post. Otherwise, that one would've been a coin toss.

Acadia sounds pretty bitchin'.

The funny one is their "World leader or NFL placekicker?" quiz. I fuggen got one of those wrong! Goddammit! I was thinking of Rafael Septien!

[Wolfman]

I figured 88 probably had been to most of them and was going to put that into the original post. While at college at the U of Maine I was in Acadia quite a few times. Some nice rock climbing places, but no I did not go up early in the morning and watch the sunrise on top of Cadillac Mountain. Should have done that too !

It is... especially Bar Harbor <-- (pronounced Bah Hah-buh)

Acadia is kind of a scaled down big sur. Absolutely beautiful. Prettiest spot on the east coast, imo.

[smackaholic]

went back and modded my first post so as not to spoil it for anyone. i'll bet isle royale will trip up more than the others. some of them you can get just using a little bit of geographical sense. if you see mountains in the picture and you guess florida, you are a grade a dumbfukk.

As much as I love Big Sur, then yeah, Acadia must be really awesome. I bet it has a cool, spooky vibe.

Of all the ones on that list, that's the one I want to see the most.

Of all the boring ass threads so far this week, this one takes first prize.

National Parks?

...jesus...

Okay...see? Was that so hard to kick this thread into gear?

Canada makes everything better.

[Mikey]

The Canadian national parks provide abundant rereational opportunities.

[Shlomart Ben Yisrael]

In the original pic, his buddy is pitching a snowball to him. It was cropped out.

Fuckin' Photoshop...always tryin' to make Canadians look bad...

P.S. Baseball was invented in Ontario. It was originally called "HitBall"

[Shlomart Ben Yisrael]

I can't wait 'till Ahmedinejad incinerates that festering shit-pool you loosely refer to as a "country".

[Mikey]

I thought he was playing golf.

The Canadian guy, not the Iranian guy. I'm pretty sure he doesn't play golf.

I'll need a link to that... It's always been my understanding that baseball was created during the American Civil war by soldiers.

I think you've got baseball mixed up with baby seal clubbing.

biggest tides are actually a few miles up the coast in the bay of funday, new brunswick. tides are something like 40 ft. amazing. i've been to downtown st johns, NB where there is a section of harbor where there is white water....in both directions. it goes one way when the tide is coming in, the other when it recedes. NB is a cool place.

[smackaholic]

here's a nice shot of the acadia coastline. as with most places in nature, pics don't do it justice.

[Wolfman]

Bay of Fundy also has some pretty freaking cold water-- fed by the Labrador Current. Years ago there were proposals to harness the tides for production of electricity. Have not heard much about that even with the "green atmosphere" that is part of our lifetime.

[smackaholic]

yeah, there was talk of installing hydro power plants on the bay of fundy many, many years ago. seems like a good idea, but, i suspect fishermen in the area wouldn't be too happy. also, canada has a fair bit of hydro already and doesn't really need it.
