National Park Week Quiz #6: Mystery Photo

By Bob Janiskee - April 26th, 2012

This photo is tightly cropped, but there's enough here for you to work with.

Do you know what the National Park Week Quiz #6 photo depicts and what national park it was taken in? If you can provide both pieces of information before 12:00 midnight EST today you will be eligible for Traveler’s National Park Week prize drawing and a chance to win a National Geographic Trails Illustrated Map for the national park of your choice.

The answer and a list of readers who answered correctly will be posted in tomorrow's Traveler.

No cheating!

If we catch you Googling or engaged in other sneakery we will make you write on the whiteboard 100 times: "Tectonic plates float at an elevation that depends on their thickness and density, exhibiting isostacy attributable to gravitational equilibrium between the earth's lithosphere and asthenosphere."

This thing has nothing to do with dining at Shenandoah National Park, ron. But darn it, your answer has me thinking about that blueberry dessert they serve there at Big Meadows.

I can't get the Wright Brothers out of my head, so after thinking for 10 hours about it, I'll guess a Prototype Bicycle at Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historical Park

Boy, Eric, I can't wait to see the professor's response to this guess...;-)

So, I take if from that response that I am a little bit off on my guess? : )

At 7:03 a.m., Eric, you guessed that it is "a prototype airplane at Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historical Park." Nearly 11 hours later you had moved all the way to guessing that it is "a Prototype Bicycle at Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historical Park." But what you should have done is get the hell out of Dayton. Now, I have nothing against Dayton. In fact, during my last visit to that fine city I spent pleasant hours touring the National Museum of the US Air Force, enjoyed a drink or three in the Officers Club at Wright Pat, and ate some mighty fine food in some very nice Dayton eateries. Yet, I must say that it would be a good idea for you to leave that city at once. A damn fine idea. A perfectly marvelous idea.
