Where in the World is Gary? #192

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 (#191) is San Simeon, California, USA

The Klondike Gold Rush is associated with this place. It sits at the northern end of an inside shipping corridor. “Soapy” Smith was an important historical character and he met his demise here.  The Arctic Brotherhood Hall is now the Visitor Center.
