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 (#408) is Sturbridge, Massachusetts, USA

This place has as many different types of trees as all of Europe. This UNESCO World Heritage Site has the greatest variety of salamanders in the world. Clingman’s Dome is the high point.

The name of this place is derived from the effect of transpiration.
