How Good Is Your Geography?? [3]

Juneau Alaska--It is massive in size, but has a very small population...somewhere I remember why it grew....just can not remember

if not them, then it must be Ankorage, but already rejected? Then fairbanks?

Poor coraline, I promised her that the next one is for her

Sorry Caroline, but Markabilly is wrong again. You guys need to bone up on your Louie L'Amour :p :
BTW there was a time when Juneau was the largest by area!

Guess the Alaskan city...

Nome?

Taz: They sure can't get a 'handle' on this one.

If it ain't nome, then it ain't a city.
City requires a certain amount of population and even those "cities" do not really qualify
More like a town that got greedy as to its boundaries, some small number of people who decided they wanted to control a bunch of oil fields or potential oil fields, snow and glaciers or whatever

Juneau is a massive area, but had some cousins that lived there, but the population was next to nothing...more people show up at baseball games then live there

You've become such a bore. Here is another clue.
It was founded in 1799 by Alexandr Baranov. I'm not sure but I believe that makes it the oldest city in Alaska

So you and Max are now into getting your heads the old skillet heading bashing?? Explains some recent threads about Ferrari

but of course I should have realized you were into tales about "tail" as in the location

The "Sackett" stories were that way. Some just light reading and others fairly historical. He even wrote some of the 'Hopalong Cassidy' stories.
Supposedly if he mentioned a specific spring, canyon or other feature it existed and was where he said it was.
One of my favourites was the modern setting "Last of the Breed".

Not so sure about that as the "Susquehanna" is located in the northeast part of the continent and not the the northwest part...as in Mohawks, Mohicans and Hurons from where the name originates....

p/s the number of people is more like a village rather than a town....or sort of the size of easy's family

Valdez

still waiting :)
