Merry Christmas to All!

This new series is a throwback to the game, “Where in the World is Carmen San Diego?” I will give a brief description of a place, including its latitude and longitude and several “interesting” facts about the location. I will also try to include a picture or two from my visit to the place. You, the reader, can then hazard a guess to answer the question posed in the game.

I will reveal the correct location on the following day. Hopefully, this type of post will encourage interaction and perhaps stimulate comments. Good Luck!

The answer to yesterday’s place (#270) is Corning, New York, USA

Where in the World is Gary?     #271

Latitude — 38° 10′ North

Longitude — 109° 45′ West

This place lies at the junction of the Colorado and Green Rivers. Needles are an interesting geologic feature here.

Island in the Sky, a 6000 foot mesa, is the most popular of its three districts.

This place is a testament to the power of erosion.
