You know I tried googling for both fountains and yellow wood shoes and gazebos and I still not nothing. Got another hint?

funny, I tried dutch, amusement parks and ontario. no luck.

Ok, I see google does not bring this up that easily.

Hint: Little Bowl bowling alley

Goderich Ontario - Canada's Prettiest Town

It is in Goderich.......what is the fountain? I will accept the park name as well.

I suppose I should have mentioned that in my photo post, so if anyone else thinks the town name is good enough, that is fine with me.

No it is OK to require the park or fountain.
I just was jut not able to find it yeaterday so I figured I would post what I had to help anyone out.

Dutch Fountain, Goderich

Your turn Daval...........

OK, this is not just a random barn. Where am I?

on a farm?




...in Canada?

Sticky got it! just kidding.

This Barn is not on a farm......

Ok, if not a farm, is it a museum/attraction?

Attraction, yes.

Ok, so we are trying to find a red barn, in Canada, that is not on a farm but is part of an attraction. It is also gable roofed as opposed to gambrel. Ok, i think I have everything I need to find it now........NOT lol.

I'll make it easy on you. It's in Ontario.

Black Creek Pioneer Village?

No, not Black Creek. Good guess though, i forgot about that place.

OK, Clue:- This Barn is located in a park.

OK, I'm back from my break.

That's the Play-Barn in Bronte Creek Provincial Park no? I took my son there this summer and while the Hay has been replaced by mats and foam, it's still awesome.

Really? there's no more hay? Damn! I was gonna take my kids there, I used to go there all the time growing up. I grew up in Bronte.

Game on Fresnelly

Yo Fresnelly? Its your turn

Gah! Sorry, I always forget to check Nonsense because I use the New Posts search.

Here you go:

http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a1...s/asdfkjlh.jpg

don't the new posts from Nonsense show up when you do that?


- fresnelly, is that picture from Montreal?

Nope and Nope. Not from Toronto either. :)

Saint John???


edit... after review, I think there is too much grass for the spot in Saint John that I was thinking about.

Any more hints?

It's in Kitchener. ;)

kitchen-where?

the Kitchener public library?

So nobody's been to Kitchener?

It's the local Museum. Leto guessed a civic building so he can post next.

I hope we're not running out of places. :D

hahhahahahha.......good one.:thumbsup:


i wish i had more time to play in here........i really like this thread.

it's a good place (this thread) to see a lot more of Canada than where i've been.



thanks all.........:thumbsup:

ok...
where is this?

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d1...0/DSC00470.jpg

Is that the Dinos Are Back exhibit at the ROM in Toronto?

First thing that jumped to mind was royal tyrel museum... but that is in drumheller in the middle of nowhere, and I see buildings in the background.

Since thats the only place I know with a full skele I am going to stick with it.

Game on Sticky.

They have re- assembled alot of the fossils at the ROM, in the new crystal. Including some that I've never seen on display before. It's quite impressive.

- yes Blah etc, I don't think that Drumheller has that backdrop. by the way, my brother was Doug Tyrel's roomie at Lakehead.

edit: This new display of dinosaur fossils is a lot more impressive than the old diarama style that used to be at the ROM. Here's some more:

I can't remember if I did this one before. I am not going to go through 79 pages.

Ice Hotel Quebec

You are correct silent_jay

Thompson, Manitoba

yepper

that path around Stanley Park in Vancouver.

the seawall?

For some reason I want to say Kingston, but I doubt that's it.

where ya go sticky?

Sorry. I am here. I forgot it was me and I hadn't checked the thread.

It is not Stanely Park.

It is not Kingston either.

Here is another picture
http://img166.imageshack.us/img166/5...45c53c5dv9.jpg

is this along the Welland Canal?

No, but "canal" is right.

The Rideau?

I was going to say the Rideau Canal but that first shot didn't look right.

Not Rideau.

This pic will give a few hints
http://img227.imageshack.us/img227/6466/example1ax7.jpg

Is that in Vancouver? I still looks like it is to me.

hmmm, a Bailey bridge, a grain elevator and a cruise ship? I'd say Vancouver as well.

I dont know the name of it but thats near the north port... the less commercial and more industrial one.

Hold on, I have my directions mixed up. Its either more north or more east, or both. either way its the one further into the bay and it has more industrial, and the neighborhood is gross.

It is not Vancouver, much further east.

Sorry that I have been a little slow to respond I have been spending a lot of time training someone at work.

you know, with the grain elevators and ocean going vessels, I have to conclude that we are positioned at the end of the St Lawrence Seaway. I'm gonna go with a Montreal area canal.

I'm going to google that right now and see if I can come up with a name.

** edit...

Oh ya! Lachine Canal in Montreal. :thumbsup:

http://travel.nytimes.com/2006/10/22...l/22hours.html

As this is obviously correct, I'll go find a pic and post.


Come on! you've got to get your priorities straight! Can't he train himself?

Yes it is correct.



Good idea :)

Okay great!

so yeah:

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d1...00/falls-1.jpg

Damn that looks familiar. It's part of an old mill run right? Cambellville Ontario?

You know, I had to google Campbellville, as I had heard of it but had no idea where it was.

No, this isn't Campbellville, although you are close on the mill aspect.

Old Mill in Elora Ontario?

Game on JTK!

Sorry about the delay.

Took this photo myself.

Fredericton?

That's a quiet river... Just can't place it.

Nope, not in NB.

Yes, it is a quiet river (at this location, but not at all locations).

But look closely at the bridge and there is something that makes it very unique.

For some reason this looks like the bridge they showed on a documentary I watched on CBC a couple of years ago, it was about Natives who went to the US to work on the High Steel, can't for the life of me remember where it was though.

I don't know about high steel and what not, I don't think this is the bridge.

Again, look at the bridge, there's something unique about it.....

he he

Not that will tell you where it is, but it will definitely narrow it down.

Is it a swing bridge?

looks like a swing bridge in the middle... so the river has to be navigable by something that has height but not much width.

Does that centre span raise/lower or swivel to allow boats to pass by?

Is that in BC?

Very good.

It is a swing bridge. The centre span USED TO rotate to allow small boats to pass. I don't think it's moved in years. It used to work by putting a big bar in the gear mechanism, then the guy litterally ran around in circles to rotate it.

It is also a railway bridge, it is active track, and it is not in BC or any other western province for that matter (narrows it down)

is it on the Ottawa river?

Nope, not the Ottawa River.

And not in Ontario.

I will give you a clue......

It is active railway track.

The line used to be owned by the Canadian Pacific Railway, however, CPR has sold it off to a Shortline.

hmmm a toughy. I've searched on CPR/swing bridges; railroad swing bridges, eastern canada, or each province separately and shortline bridges..

coming up empty here. Any more hints?

Glad I'm not the only one who was searching different swing bridges in the provinces, I came up with nothing as well, this is a tricky one that's for sure.

It is isn't it.

:)

It is in Quebec though. It's very beautiful countryside.

And it used to be owned by CPR.

Hint hint, there is only 1 track in Quebec that used to be owned by CPR (as far as I know.)

It's quiet round here.....

Ok, it's on the north shore between montreal and quebec City....

hehe, i did a few searches on the weekend... Ok, I'll try again.

I can't find it.
The closest I got was the Prince of Wales bridge.

Jason

Nor can I find it, this is turning into quite the mission.

Just give me the name of the River.....

In Quebec.......

On the north shore......

Between Montreal and Quebec City.......

Former CPR track........

Now owned by??????(you gotta be able to figure that one out)

well... there's an obvious river at Trois Riviers, but Google maps doesn't name it. I'll check for swing bridges at trois riviers and see if I get a hit.


*edit: nope, i'll look for other rivers.

I'm gonna say the rail line is now owned by Genesee Rail-One, as for the river is it Saint-Maurice?

Getting closer.

The track is owned by Genesse Wyoming, and the operating company is called, "The Quebec Gatineau Railway"

It's not the St. Maurice River though

La Maurice features some beauty bridges though...

I'm starting to think that your bridge obsession is a little bit unhealthy... :)

Yea that bridge was a really doozy, specially it being so damn far away from me.

Occupational hazard - I design them for a living.

What can I say.

You can see my handywork at Davenport Road north of Dupont right now.

or Leaside over DVP.

or very soon - Bathurst north of Dupont - soon to be lowering the road by 400 mm, new street car tracks and a completely rehabilitated bridge.

And lots more......

okay, let's try the ottawa river. I know that the QGR traverses the Ottawa, another river near Trois Rivieres that google maps leaves nameless. But I think the Ottawa actually has boat traffic that would merit a swing bridge.

Still can't find anything on google tho

Nope, it's not the ottawa River, and it's not La Maurice (at Trois Rivieres)

http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c5...4/DSCF0594.jpg

The above picture is the bridge over the Ottawa River taken by moi from the Hull side at Lachute 119.25

http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c5...kirk64/127.jpg

The above picture is the bridge over La Maurice in Trois Rivieres, also taken by moi at Trois Rivieres Mile 83.5


Clue...

This bridge is on the Trois Rivieres sub that runs from Laval to Quebec City.

In fact, it's between Trois Rivieres and Quebec City....

http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c5...4/DSCF0204.jpg

The above photo shows the centre pier of the bridge in question on which the centre span rotates. Quite massive acutally and was built in the 1860's I believe, though the superstructure was changed out at one time or another.

http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c5...4/DSCF0208.jpg
Another view of the bridge in question....

is it this bridge? by the arrow. Friggin maps online don't show any decent detail, and the searches don't bring up any more. I don't even know the name of this river (not on maps) but it is north of TR on the way to QC.

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d1...0/rrbridge.jpg

Yep, you're there. The river has a name for sure. It's popular with sportsmen and kayakers. It empties into the St. Lawrence.

It's a well known river, not some babbling brook. If you google in the name of the river, you get tons of hits and it's well known as a tourist area, though, not as well known as La Maurice.

But you need that name of that river.

You're almost there though (albeit with about 20 clues.)

:)

GO HERE for the final damn clue I am going to give you all....

http://www.viarail.ca/tourists/en_tour_phot_queb.html

You'd think that there could be a free detailed map with river names for Quebec somewhere on the internet eh? Especially if you search on angling, kayaking rivers quebec etc....

Apparantly my search abilities are not sufficient/patient enough. I will have to actually open a hard copy atlas at home to determine the name of this river.

Or, you could look at the link I posted above and look for the name of a River........

Just saying is all.

Batiscan River I did not use the link but did use Leto google maps post.
http://www.suretequebec.gouv.qc.ca/p...oste_36_45.pdf

ya I hear you. went to the link, found nice pictures, but then the "man" came by, and I had to curtail my browsing....

Sticky cuts Leto's grass and takes it.

Yes, it is the Batiscan River Bridge at Mile 102.50 of the Trois Rivieres sub belonging to the Quebec Gatineau Railway, former CPR track.

Just goes to show you, not everything in the world is catalogued on the internet.

:no:

Blasphemy!!!! There is no bridge!
