That hotel is in a great location, though. The whole city is at your feet. It's so walkable and there's so much to see.

anielsen71 · 07-29-2024, 04:17 PM

Yes. That’s why I booked it for our visit.
We were there for an AC/DC concert Saturday.
We came Thursday and got some good food and beer.
Mautkeller and Altes kuche restaurants is recommendable for classic German food as schweine haxe, nürnberg sausage and rotbier 😄

Love me some Nürnberg sausage and potato salad. I could eat that for lunch several times a week and be quite happy about it.

She must have special tricks. This could be anywhere. I grew up skiiing at Mammoth so I didn't chime in so someone else could get a crack at the answer. No surprise that LJ got it.

The Sierra is a wonderful part of our fine state. The Mammoth Lakes area is special; amazing hiking, backpacking, fishing, and of course skiiing.

I figure there must be some kind of geographic data encoded for each photo that LJ accesses. Or possibly a Magic 8-ball...

Anyway, her skills in this thread are formidable!

No magic or trick, just research. Your picture showed part of the Crystal Crag which is a prominent and well known feature.

I think I saw a video about that stretch of track. Supposedly the longest straight stretch of track in the world. Somewhere in Australia.

GarySL · 08-02-2024, 03:55 PM

^yup: The Trans-Australian Railway line
The Trans-Australian Railway line of 1108 miles from Kalgoorlie (Western Australia) to Port Pirie (South Australia) includes 297 miles without a curve - the longest straight stretch of track in the world.

Wrong continent.

The pictured train usually consists of one single passenger car, plus 200+ open hoppers. The passenger fare is FREE to anyone who wants to ride this train.....
