National Park Mystery Spot 42: Striking Fear

By Bob Janiskee - May 17th, 2012

Mystery Spot 42 is one of America’s 397 national parks. If you can identify it you will eligible for our monthly prize drawing.

Here are all the clues you should need to identify this mystery spot:

Bills are normally
Something else formally
When serious money is pledged.

The menacing flag that the pirates flew
Struck fear in the hearts of a merchantman’s crew.

In times of great need, your fears will subside
If you truly believe that God will provide.

Bonus clue, no extra charge: Though very small, its name’s longest of all.

         

No cheating! If we catch you Googling or engaged in sneakery of any kind, we will make you write on the whiteboard 100 times: "Occupational Safety & Health Administration statistics show that, every day in America, 12 people go to work and never come home, while 2,200 OSHA employees go to work and never work."

Does an island in a river count as the mainland?

A completely different guess: Saint Croix Island International Historic Site

Not Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania County Battlefields Memorial National Military Park, and not Saint Croix Island International Historic Site. The mystery spot is not located on an island.
