Mt Whitney Zone Forums The Chat Room What In The World Happened Here?

Damn! I recognize that cut. It is right in the area I looked on Google Maps when you posted the original picture. Unfortunately, I confined myself to looking along the bigger highway. So, your picture is near the road I would take in order to head for your neck of the woods. And it is on the road I take to get to Mt. Whitney.

Presumably not one of the USA's Guano Islands. [For one of those, see WITWHH LXXV:  (Link).]

Oh man! That's the first place I looked for a match when the picture was first posted.



I sure didn't recognize the pattern, though.
Here's the Gmap4 view (click for full-screen), Beale's Cut at Newhall Pass.
It is a peculiar site on the topo maps that Gmap4 can display -- only the Google Maps terrain view shows the new CA-14 freeway. Also, there are four generations of highways here: The wagon trail, the Newhall Pass tunnel, Sierra Highway (old Hwy 14) and now CA-14, all within half a mile of each other.

Steve, I think that the problem was that you and I were tripping over each other in Google Maps.

Happy Anniversary to this thread.

Any creature that had the balls to live here mayhaps should be undisturbed, but Adam & Eve were forcibly removed and taken to Melbourne, Australia. They were found in a "tree", but it wasn't an apple tree.

Only in Australia would one find something like that. I was way off on the wrong track until I remembered that words in wagga clues are important. "Balls", for example, would not refer to cojones. It took some doing, but I kept at it and earned the lobster (-like) dinner.

Rats! If you had simply checked out the cool video thread...

Anything to say about this one?

CIV: Already gave you more than enough clues. Go back a page or so.

Answer: What In The World Happened Here? CVI: (106)

I couldn't post this answer yesterday, for the obvious reason. Remember when peeps were all confused about the Pacific Northwest Tree Octopus?

This is a TREE LOBSTER.



The whole story is here and here.

An ice cold miracle.

CIV: (104)??? Gold Medal!

You just won the next puzzle!

Was this puppy involved?

No, I think he was from San Francisco. He had been born, but was still Heisman-free, when the picture on the right was taken, but that is coincidence.

So this puzzle is in the sports arena, rather than the political arena? Somehow I think it's not cricket.

Gotta go with "sports" but sports can intersect with politics.

And it ain't cricket.

OK, we need a clue here. Since OJ's birth place came up, however spuriously, I offer the following: San Francisco got the Giants.
