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 (#406) is Mount Vernon, Virginia, USA 

Where in the World is Gary?    #407

Thomas Jefferson called this place, “without comparison, the most beautiful water I have seen.” The “water” that Jefferson speaks of is 33 miles long.

Nearby Fort Ticonderoga was a pivotal, strategic location during several American wars. A boat ride is a must here.

This place was the setting for the novel, The Last of the Mohecans.
