Great Bear, Great Slave, Lake Winnipeg
Thought you would probably get it Mark.
Your question.
As an aside the only 'Great Lake' not shared is Lake Michigan totally in the US.
I think Mark is on the road for several days so I am taking the liberty of another set of questions. They are all water related.
1 What is the Great Circle Cruise for pleasure boats?
I do not expect details but naming some of the bodies of water would be a bonus. There are several possibilities on parts of the cruise. Those who have done it are entitled to fly a special flag.
2a What is the largest freshwater island in the world?
2b In what body of water is it located?
3a In what freshwater body of water is the Sleeping Giant located?
3b What is the closest town or city?
4a In what freshwater body of water is the Giant's Tomb located.
4b What is the closest town or city?
I will take either of 2 answers as correct for 4b.
Both 'Giants' are islands.
I hope this is more difficult than the last one.
Hi All. I am back after spending a few months on the Dark Continent.
Almost forgot about this thread.
Easy Drifter-a little friendly advice.. You're not going to get many responses with questions so closely associated with your home area....this is a global forum. It's like asking someone from Australia or S Africa who their favorite character is on Corner Gas...they'll just scratch their heads and look at you funny. As for your questions, having friends and family in your area, I'll take a shot:
1- Great Circle cruise is either a navigation of the American inland waterway system, but more likely a cruise of lakes and canals in S Ontario.
2- Has to be Manitoulin, in Lake Huron. A friend has a cottage there where you can see an island in a lake which is on a island which is in a lake.
3- The Sleeping giant is in Lake Superior near Thunder Bay
4- Giant's Tomb is near Penatanguishine in Georgian Bay
2,3 and 4 are correct.
1 is pretty close.
Starting point can be anywhere on route.
I will use NYC as start. Up Hudson River, Erie Canal, Lake Ontario, Trent Severn, Georgian Bay/Lake Huron, Lake Michigan, Chicago Ship Canal, Mississipi System, Alternate routes to Gulf of Mexico, Atlantic to NYC. There are several palces where alternate routes can be used.
Does not have to be done in one year.
Your turn.
If I do ask another question later it will be in Canada but far removed from this area.
I took a introductry weather observers course once...and I cant think of anything concrete...but I will guess....Quote:

Great show, unfortunately this is its last season.
How about a geo-Q someone! :D
P.s., welcome back edv!
Hi Schmenke
Ahhh a question...lemme try to dig up a picture...
Okay, here's a relatively easy one.
The following is a picture of edv atop a monument in 1995.
Identify the following:
1) Name the Country
2) Name the Site
3) Name the Monument (anglicized name or 'local' name)

How did you get up there?
Some people mightn't see the picture, my work site won't allow photobucket shots within a thread like this.
Caroline says Tunisia and something starting with an L for a name? :mark:Quote:

Leptis Magna?
and it's the 'Big Temple' (last one really is a big guess)?

Not Libya. Not Tunisia. "Holy Grail of film locations" is close, if I'm thinking what you're thinking.
I'm pretty sure I know, but I'd like to see someone else have a few guesses.Quote:

Scrambled. I understand that since that time there are now guards or barriers or such preventing further desecration.Quote:

I haven't got any even half ready Q's so I suggest you give me a red card, send me back to my stables, and post another of your travel-pics :up:

What? I have to ask another one?
OK, here's one that we may have had already, but I cannot remember:
What do the following 3 places have in common?
Arizona, Saskatchewan & Hawaii
(I realize that there are several possible answers...I am looking for one in particular)
Well, there are "Grand" canyons in both Arizona and Hawaii but I can't think of anything particularily grand about Saskatchewan... :mark:
Well, there IS the Quappelle Valley, but no, nothing about canyons for this question.Quote:
