Port Townsend?

Nope.

Anybody recognize this (75¢ for a hotel room - what a bargain!).

Looks like Pioneer Square in Seattle, but much more genteel than when we first saw it in the 70's!

Indeed. I haven't been to the Sturgis Rally for many years.

I've never been, but I have a lot of bikers in my family. I blame them.

Yes. It's not too far outside Winslow, AZ. You should add that to the list, just to say you've been on the corner, lol. And there is a great restaurant at La Posada, one of the Harvey Hotels.

It is, actually. Good guess!

I haven't been there in years, like since I was a kid. But I could barely see the dwellings and thought, what the heck I'll take a stab at it.

As it happens, I HAVE stood on the corner in Winslow, Arizona. Fall of 1974, driving back to my Navy duty station in Norfolk, VA, from my temporary station at Nellis Air Force Base in Las Vegas. Drove all night, and as the sun was rising, I found myself driving into Winslow. So naturally, I had to stop, get out of the car, stood on the corner for about ten seconds, back in the car, and drove on down through town.

I waited, but did not see a girl in a flatbed Ford slowing down to take a look at me. I was easily pleased in those days.

I had to Google this one. I knew what it was, but not how to describe what it was. I learned it's in New Mexico.

Is that the tower on top of the mountain on Orcas Island?

 

[DaveNV]

Is that the tower on top of the mountain on Orcas Island?

Yes. The top of Mt. Constitution on Orcas Island, in the San Juan Islands. I didn't take this picture, but I've climbed to the top of the tower many times. (I lived on Orcas for nine years.) On a clear day, the view from the top is spectacular.

It is the Very Large Array. Here is another shot (I didn't take this one) and that shows more of the radio antennas. It's amazing to watch them all move.

The Very Large Array, one of the world's premier astronomical radio observatories, consists of 27 radio antennas in a Y-shaped configuration on the Plains of San Agustin fifty miles west of Socorro, New Mexico. Each antenna is 25 meters (82 feet) in diameter. The data from the antennas is combined electronically to give the resolution of an antenna 36 km (22 miles) across, with the equivalent sensitivity of a dish 130 meters (422 feet) in diameter.

 

[Krteczech]

Another one.

Kind of looks like the Grand Canyon from the east side.
