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 (#154) is Ettal Monastery, Ettal, Germany

Where in the World is Gary?   #155

Latitude — 38° 34′ North

Longitude — 107° 43′ West

A steep, heavily-shaded chasm (2000 feet deep) is the draw here.

Canyon

Rock-climbers love this place. It is fourteen (14) miles long. The dark walls give this place its name.

A well-known river snakes through the canyon on its way to the Pacific.
