Where in the World is Gumbo? #5

1-IMG_2555%252BHere's #5 in our weekly puzzle series. Gumbo has gone for a walk in the woods, and he isn't saying where. If you recognize the location first, you get bragging rights. Submit your guess as a comment to this blog right here at http://travelgumbo.com

 

This week's puzzle has no familiar buildings or boats, so you'll have to pay attention to what's growing here for clues. This one may need a hint or two in a day or two, so keep watching. And, of course, the answer will be posted next Tuesday, Dec. 17th.

There are probably a million miles of hiking trails in north America alone.  But not many of them are this well groomed, with borders on the side of the path, smooth surface or well made wooden handrails where it seems none are needed.  Ferns imply a shaded moister setting.

 

This looks like some kind of urban park to me, not a wilderness park.  PHeymont is an east coast guy, although he gets around a lot.  I don't hike there, but who knows east coast hiking trails around here?

It's a place with a colder climate because of the plants.   Definitely not somewhere down south.

 

PHeymont was writing about visiting Maine a few days ago.   There was a beach there, I wonder if this is that beach?  I'll take a guess at it.  My guess is a trail around the Old Orchard beach in Maine.

I don't see the stones, looks like wood along the path to me.  My first thought was NYC, Central Park.  Then I thought the park in Brooklyn made more sense in this context, Prospect Park.  I agree it looks more like an urban than wilderness place, very tidy.  So that's my best guess.  I have no plans to search the internet for matching photos this go-around.  So that's my thought & I'm stickin' to it.

 In a far far away land, long long ago, there was a young man.  His name was Gumbo.  His young lady friend was named Gumbess....  Relax, everyone, it`s just a fairy tale.  Not real life.

Well, the photo does very much look east coast...deciduous trees, open canopy. The trail is also very well maintained...and looks like one of the photos in Pheymont's Portland Maine blog. Given that I am going to say that it is on the Rachel Carson national wildlife interpretive trail...  

JohnT has nailed it with convincing detail and the name.

Look tomorrow morning for Puzzle 5.5 (sigh...you guys are too good!)

And Tuesday morning, the answers to both, with details.

For anyone confused by previous note...I posted from FF's computer but didn't log him off first!
