Re: Where in the World is TravelGumbo #165
Hmmm. I am stumped but still puzzling. Must think through southeast films from the 1990s. I don't recognize the buildings but the landscape is so familiar.

Ok. How about Georgia? Could it be Where Forest Gump was filled?
Comment
Re: Where in the World is TravelGumbo #165
Georgia is not the Southeastern state in question. And Forrest Gump was not filmed there, although parts of that movie were filmed in Savannah.

Re: Where in the World is Travelgumbo (#159)
DrFumblefinger and the email guesses are getting close but not quite there. This is a hard puzzle I think but the daily clues should help. Does this photo narrow it down for you?

The only people I know that are mad enough to get on the roof to cut the grass are the tree hugging Norwegians !
Comment
Re: Where in the World is Travelgumbo (#159)
Garry -- In the early frontier days in Canada, it was common for settlers to use sod as roofing material. The Canadians, of course, were too lazy to cut the grass on the roof.

Re: Where in the World is Travelgumbo (#159)
Or maybe the extension cord wouldn't reach ! I don't know what would be the worst - rain dripping inside your cabin or worms hanging down and poking their heads in ! Grassing the roof makes a wonderful insulator to keep you warm.

Re: Where in the World is TravelGumbo? (#147)
I agree with Dr. FumbleFinger that this looks like a castle in Europe. The slits in the castle for archers look like those I saw in France - but I imagine such a construction is quite widespread. From the photo with the cannons, this seems to be at the top of a hill, common for castles, but the region looks rather flat - not mountainous. The infrastructure around the castle seems to be a bit sparse, and it makes me think the country may be poorer than France. All the tourists inside and...

Re: Akershus Fortress, Oslo, Norway (Where Gumbo was #147)
Kicking myself this morning, because I did actually think of Akershus as the pictures rolled...but there was also enough similarity to Prague Castle to give me doubts. Of course, when you're building a military fortification... And, Travel Rob was clever to keep the ocean out of the picture. It's actually THIS close, adjacent to Oslo's Aker Brygge waterfront: Despite its grim history (which figures in quite a few police procedurals and novels of World War), it can be a peaceful place for an...

Re: Akershus Fortress, Oslo, Norway (Where Gumbo was #147)
ah! And I currently LIVE in Norway!! So I totally should have gotten this! But I live in the north of Norway (to my own defense). But at least I got the correct latitude based on vegetation, sun angle, and clothing worn! Thanks for the great puzzle! Please post more!

Re: Where in the World is TravelGumbo? (#147)
Looks like a castle/fortress in Europe. But at this point I don't know where. Anyone have any ideas?

Re: Bombay Beach, CA : Where Gumbo Was (#214)
Browsing in The Guardian this morning I ran across this article about Bombay Beach and remembered that Gumbo had been there. Check it out for more on this forgotten (except by a few) Southern California desert outpost.

Re: Bombay Beach, CA : Where Gumbo Was (#214)
More about the Salton Sea, sent to me today by a friend who grew up in nearby Calexico. Things have not improved for residents of Bombay Beach & the Imperial Valley, no happy ending in sight: https://www.theverge.com/2018/...-toxic-dust-pictures

Re: Where in the World is TravelGumbo? (#189)
Here is the first clue. Does this narrow it down?
Comment
Re: Where in the World is TravelGumbo? (#189)
Is it a place we're looking for - or an inland waterway ?
Comment
Re: Where in the World is TravelGumbo? (#189)
Garry to answer your question, the waterway or the name of either side will do in solving the puzzle. This is a hang out place in town for tourists and locals a like . As you can see with today's clue, it's quite popular.
