Correct

And Yucca mountain?
….

Kingston and beach

Very warm. 0.9 cigar.

Try this one then

The building is a commercial lodge - pricey
Tourists attractions are: canoeing, hiking in summer, train tunnel, I think lake freezes over winter - cross country skiing

I won’t mention the name yet .
Ignore the weeds but not the colour of the lake which is due to the pulverised limestone in the water.
Sort of like rivers and lakes in NZ. (Obviously not in NZ because of the trees)

Errr, hard at work trip…

Was it also a short work trip?

Yucca Mtn to the north of Area 51. Not much passing trade, so to speak. We were looking for barite, used in the oil and gas drilling sector ( it makes heavy mud when ground up and keeps the goodies from shooting out the top of the drill hole. ). Crawled over many mountains, found lots of barite and even a decomposed body once, way out in the middle of nowhere, victim of foul play it turned out.

The beach. Blackman’s Bay. I prefer Kingston Beach, if I could afford to live by the water there.

No mask mandates there so best to be double or even triple jabbed if you wish to visit
There is a bridge in Spain with the same name

its a museum and there is a stone barge in the water (not in picture frame but to the right)
Much of the history informs the foundation of the city in which it is located

 

[Quickstatus]

decomposed body once

Hmm interesting. Any decomposed body out there would be a conspiracy theorist magnet. ET? (Even though they say victim)

Blackman’s Bay

Does the blowhole blow?

I believe that it started as a short trip but en route was converted to an extended trip.

A bridge, but where. A place famous for its sausage

Very good.




Vizcaya Museum, Miami Florida - another mansion built by a turn-of-the-century-billionaire, this time the then owner of International Harvester. There was a lot of willy waving in Florida at that time as the Yanks tried to emulate style and taste with lots and lots of money. Shame they didn't put money into education.

Toulouse, another "pont Neuf"
The restaurant floor top of Marche Victor Hugo was a good spot to try the sausage.

Billionaire Brothers IIRC
That combo of wealth and “style/taste” persists to this day. Though I suspect they didn’t have orange hair back then. Must be the heat of the panhandle

“yank” technically incorrect as at the time it was derisory only toward the Northerners. Was there a nickname for the confederates?

pont Neuf

Why are there several “Pont Neuf”?

 

[Vic]

Where, exactly?

While mulling over the blue lounge and the emerald lake, how about this one ...
A unique aircraft, so can only be one place.

I've seen at least 1 other one, not indoors. so at least two places.

Or perhaps 20... SR-71 Online - SR-71 Locations

But I'll guess smithsonian

Already answered as the Boeing Museum at Seattle.

More a reflection on saying the uniqueness of the aircraft means there can be only 1 location.

James Deering was a Northerner - based in Chicago and New York. Like many wealthy magnates of the time, he preferred to winter in Florida hence building Vizcaya in 1910. Similarly Henry Flagler started out in Ohio (he was "Standard Oil") before building the Florida East Coast Railway and another magnificent mansion in Palm Beach - Whitehall.

Correct. We had dinner at Brasserie Les Beaux-Arts, which is next to the bridge. It was my birthday, and I had the Toulouse Sausage and a good cross section of local wines to help. A place we'd go back to.
