GEC #B050 (Beginner)

OK, here's one a little easier (and more well-known):

 

Neither- it's in North America- specifically, in the United States

 

Aw, comon, you shoulda waited to give that clue--we coulda had some fun with them!

 

Shhhhhhhh...............I ain't done yet............

 

That reminds me- you got the limits of wins in the Beginners contest with 6, and you're the VERY FIRST ONE to do it!


:w20z6q::w20z6q::w20z6q:

 

Go figure--a first?!?
That's OK, I am cooking up some submissions for the harder classes. Keith is tearing his hair out over the latest Expert one.:tb-tongue:

 

OK, back to the contest

Another visual clue:

 

Close enough for jazz.............

Congrats Kieth!!

Dale Junction, WY, on the UP's Harriman Cutoff (a/k/a Track 3)(Dale Jct. is east of Hermosa Tunnel)



Looks like the backside of nowhere, but UP's line over Sherman Hill sees an awful lot of action- 2 tracks over the original grade, plus 1 on the Harriman Cutoff. Takes a 4X4 and the consittution of a mountain goat to fan, but it's well worth it!

 

Here's the easterly view from the cut in the bottom right:



Here's the view west:

 

I don't recall needing to shift into 4-hi to get up the road on that hill, but it was rutted, rough, and steep!

 

You're not as heavy as I am, either..........

Those two pics you showed remind me of that high spot over the Harriman Cutoff, looking either west toward Dale Jct. or back in the general direction of Perkins.

 

That shot is much rarer to see, but both are neat shots. Alaska GP49 showed me that spot.
