Mag Magician Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 I may suggest Seattle WA as the second city, but am so unsure of the third, I won't hazard a guess as of now. Just wait until the CRS syndrome quits affecting my brain. Quote Link to comment

+Cedar Grove Seekers Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 (edited) Jerusalem is correct. Seattle is not one that I was aware of, but it appears to be correct, so take it away Mag Magician. Bye the way, the other two I had in mind are: Istanbul - formerly Constantinople, and was chosen as the site for the capital of Rome's eastern empire because it had seven hills Lisbon is the other.

Mag Magician Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Here's a quickie! Why is the name "Manuel Moroun" important to international transportation? First to circumnavigate the globe in a shipping container? Lessee? Nope! Circumnavigate is wrong, and shipping containers are a small part of where he is very important to international shipping.

Mag Magician Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Hmm interesting facts -owns the Ambassador Bridge, 5% of Detroit-Windsor Tunnel Hmmm, did you Google those facts? However, the Ambassador Bridge is the only privately owned International transportation corridor between Canada and the US. Go ahead. Take your turn. Quote Link to comment

+Couparangus Posted November 4, 2008 Author Share Posted November 4, 2008 This question has STAGnated into pedantry. Please ask another question, preferably one that will be of more general knowledge and interest. If not, I'll have to ask one of my *own* dreaded natural science questions. Quote Link to comment

+JDandDD Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 New Question: What's unique about the bones of the garfish? I know that one, but I'm curious how this fits in to the criteria for questions in this thread as posted in the OP. I'm curious because you broke in earlier in this thread and interupted my question about where the first all aluminum bridge is because you said it was off track according to the criteria. My question was clearly about geography so should have been OK according to post 1. Now we get this one from you and I can't figure out where it fits into to your own criteria. And the answer is, they are green. JD Quote Link to comment

+Landsharkz Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Sure, but someone needs to get this back on track again... . You have our support to 'go bold or stay home' SZ Quote Link to comment
+brenda&&rew Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 I think the problem that has started the confusion is that there was one question that finished without being finished... and then another that was started that no one knew the answer to so we got goofy. Then there was confusion over the fact that the rules were not being kept to.... and it all snowballed into hearing nothing but the crickets So, although this is not my forum topic, I am going to take the lead here say lets forget any previous unanswered questions because obviously no one is going to finish them. And I have gone back to the original post to copy the rules to refresh everyone's memory or to inform those that came in mid-way and did not read from the beginning to even know what the rules are. So here are the rules: Here's how it works. I'll ask a question and the person whom answers correctly will ask the next question and when that's answered correctly will in turn post another question etc. To keep it within topic I suggest the questions fall into one or more of these loose categories: - Geocaching - Navigation - Geomatics/graphy/physics etc - The Canadian hiking experience - Cycling, Canoeing, Kayaking or any other means of arriving at a cache. - Camping No cheating now, that includes Googling for the answers! And I am going to post the first NEW question now: Many people know that Algonquin Provincial Park is Ontario's oldest provincial park and the first provincial park in Canada (established 27 May 1893). But who knows what the second oldest provincial park in Ontario is and when was it established? (Remember no cheating, no googling or yahooing, etc to find the answer) Quote Link to comment
+Landsharkz Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Presqu'Ile Provincial Park? I used Mapsource... so it's a wild guess. Quote Link to comment
+brenda&&rew Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 (edited) Presqu'Ile Provincial Park? I used Mapsource... so it's a wild guess. good guess.... but no. Presqu'ile was designated a provincial park in 1956. Edited November 15, 2008 by brendah Quote Link to comment

Mag Magician Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 What is Canada's oldest and longest marked hiking trail. Bonus points if you can tell me where its terminus is. Binrat That would have to be the Trans-Canada Trail, I would think? Quote Link to comment
+Binrat Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 (edited) Sorry, The Trans Canada Trail was created in 1992, try again but think older. Binrat Edited November 16, 2008 by Binrat Quote Link to comment
+brenda&&rew Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Sorry, The Trans Canada Trail was created in 1992, try again but think older. Binrat I was thinking the Trans-Canada Trail too but I was just thinking of longest not age. Re-thinking it I would guess the Bruce Trail which along the Niagara Escarpment from Niagara Falls to Tobermory. I can't remember when it was started though... sometime in the 60's? I have hiked portions of the trail and love it! Quote Link to comment
+Juicepig Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 BRUCE? if thats right, terminuses are in tobermory and a little town north of niagra falls Quote Link to comment
