+Binrat Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 That is an easy answer, but only because I have Ian Coristine's series of books on the region. The Thousand Islands by Coristine I will not answer this one due to my indepth knowledge. Binrat Quote Link to comment
+Couparangus Posted June 22, 2007 Author Share Posted June 22, 2007 I just checked and then I remembered. But I guess that precludes me from answering the question. <sigh> Quote Link to comment

+2happy2gether Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 OK...there are 203 lakes in Canada that are named Long Lake. This makes it to the top of the list for the most common feature name. My question is; what is the most common place name in Canada? Quote Link to comment

+TOMTEC Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 I will safely assume it is not going to be Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump, so how about Springfield? There seems to be a Springfield in every state, so why not Canada? TOMTEC Quote Link to comment

Guiderchachi Hmm, we've had a couple suspect quiz answers lately, so I'll take a moment to remind everyone of the thread's guidelines: No cheating now, that includes Googling for the answers! Though feel free to google after you've posted your guess to see just how bad it was! TOMTEC Quote Link to comment
QuigleyJones Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 Ok next question. If you google "Canadian Geography" what is the first webpage listed? Quote Link to comment
+TOMTEC Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 Ok next question. If you google "Canadian Geography" what is the first webpage listed? Obviously that would be Google's search results page containing the many thousand results that match the "Canadian Geography" search criteria. Depending on weather you preformed the search with or without the quotes, the resulting url would likely look as follows: http://www.google.ca/search?q=Canadian+Geography (without quotes) http://www.google.ca/search?q=%22Canadian+Geography%22 (with quotes) And each would provide you with different results. Of course, you'll find a string of additional data following the base url that provides Google with all sorts of great information on you, your browser and your surfing habits. Though if you were referring to the webpage you would visit by clicking on the first unsponsored link in the results list, hell if I know... Hey, it's not even your turn to ask a question yet! Now where's guiderchachi? TOMTEC Quote Link to comment
+guiderchachi Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 I'm here, now. Sorry it took so long but I had trouble with the PC. I will admit I peeked on that last one, but I didn't know I wasn't supposed to. Any way here is my question: With Earthcaches seeming to be all the rage these days, I have a related question. How many UNESCO World Heitage Sites are in Atlantic Canada, and what (or where) are they? As it is almost midnight in Newfoundland on a Friday night, I will check back in the morning to see who was right. Good luck and have a good one! Guiderchachi Quote Link to comment

Off the top of my head I can only come up with 2: The old Town of Lunenburg in Nova Scotia The remains of the viking settlement in Newfoundland But there has got to be a few more...

+shearzone Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 (edited) I believe Mistaken Point for its assemblage of Neoproterozic fossils and Gros Morne for being a world class example of oceanic crust obducted onto continental crust are also UNESCO sites.

TOMTEC You got two of them, Where's the other one? Guiderchachi I had to look this up, so I've now taken myself out of the running. We have actually listed three of them, the two that TOMTEC listed and Gros Morne. Mistaken Point has been submitted as a candidate to become a UNESCO site, and still awaiting approval. Guiderachi is right, we are still looking for one more. Quote Link to comment

Guiderachi is right, we are still looking for one more. Actually, between the two that TOMTEC got and the one you had, you are both right. The 2 in Newfoundland are L'Anse Aux Meadows and Gros Morne and in Nova Scotia, it's Old Lunenburg. So it's up for grabs who gets to ask the next question. Fight it out amonst yourselves.

+shearzone Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 The fourth that I was thinking of is on the Gaspe Peninsula, so technically in the province of Quebec. Whether that is in Atlantic Canada or not, I suppose is up to guiderchachi for the purpose of this question. If guiderchachi is satisfied with the answers already here, I'll let the next question go to Tomtec since he got two of them whereas I got one. Quote Link to comment

+Couparangus Posted July 4, 2007 Author Share Posted July 4, 2007 Yes, you'd be on the deck of a ship. I thought that one was too easy. There's Tomtec, yet there's no question? Ask away (or pass to Danoshimano). Speaking of shimanos, I successfully cycled up the big hill at the north end of Mono Cliffs on the weekend without stopping. Yeah, yeah, I know, but this was a first for this fat-boy. Look out Lance Armstrong!! Quote Link to comment

I just fired up Garmin's Mapsource and counted all the airfields that weren't abandoned. Next question: Statistically, if one were to use a motorcycle to go Geocaching, instead of a car, how many more times likely would you be killed in an accident? 2 times? 7 times? 11 times? more?
