gyork Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 (edited) Where does YOUR mind go when it wanders? Please post your answers in white. 1. A popular island in this neck of the “woods," this camper has determined that we are 357°M, 13.3M from Monhegan light. Crow, Muscongus 2. With all the uniforms looking the same, this switcheroo generated not a few laughs, on one of our 2 adopted islands. Bangs 3. This island hosted hundreds of workers/artists back in the day. Dix 4. It’s a long paddle out here, but well worth it if you can secure a site, or access it from a “nearby” MITA spot. Duck Harbor, IAH 5. You can cross over to the sister island at LT, but there might be times when your feet get wet. E. Gosling 6. One of my top five, for this locale, and another supreme tent site around the corner. Saddleback 7. Name this narrow harbor that is “out there.” Lunt, Long I. 8. Despite the uncanny resemblance, these 2 are not brothers. Halifax 9. Who-who has been to this vista? Monroe, N. tip 10. You’ll never be bored on this walk! Mistake 11. It’s plain to see what this was destined for, but saved, in the end. Airstrip, Marshall I.Marshall 12. Yes, we do dip our paddles in fresh water occasionally. Rapid River, ME 13. Why no crowds on this warm August day? Roque 14. A popular launch site on one of our “annuals.” Seal cove, MDI Bonus: Our first stop on the outbound, 5.0M crossing, for lunch. A. Name that sandwich. Amatos' Veggie Italian B. We are ~61.6M and ~81°M (as the crow flies) from where the sandwich was built @ the India St location. W. tip North Heaven (44º06.60'N, 68º56.53'W) Edited March 22 by gyork Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vytas 'Vick' Marciulionis Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 (edited) Few guesses 1. Gay Isl. 4. Duck Harbor @Isle-au-Haut 5. Goslings @Casco Bay 7. Frenchboro (Long Isl.) 10. Mistake Isl. (Moose Peak Lighthouse) 13. Rogue Isl. Edited February 13 by Vytas 'Vick' Marciulionis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gyork Posted February 14 Author Share Posted February 14 You're just a little short and Easterly for #1, Vick. Spot on for all the others. You gotta become acquainted with the sandwich in Bonus Challenge. You're not too far from the early-opening location in Falmouth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nancy Hill Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Thanks for the fun, Gary! I wish I could say that I know all of them, but alas, I do not. I am a little confused by #1, because if you mean 13.3miles and not 13.3 nautical miles, I end up at a buoy in Muscongus Bay.Maybe I am starting in the wrong place (Lighthouse in the middle of Monhegan Island) #2 Bangs #3 Dix #4 Isle au Haut #5 East Gosling #6 Saddleback #7 ? I guess I need to get out more! #8 Halifax #9 Monroe #10 Mistake (I never did find that boardwalk!) #11 ? #12 Umbagog - I was there, so I should remember that! #13 Roque Island #14 Seal Cove on MDI #15 I don't know where you are going, (N haven maybe, but I think that is more like a 6 mile crossing), but my guess is that you are eating a veggie sub from Amatos in Portland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice work. #1. nm=M (International) Bonus: The long crossing outbound was from our S campsite @ #9. The lunch log (viz. on sat view, below) is 08°M, 0.5M from the obvious aid to navigation in photo.

Nancy Hill Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Ah, thanks, Gary. I was unfamiliar with M representing nautical miles. So, now I see where you went. I am in the lead because it's just Vick and me replying. Come on everyone, surely lots of you know these places. See if you can beat me!

prudenceb Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Sorry, I mostly only know the pictures that I'm in, or the really obvious one, or the big private island owned by the family of a long-time friend (that is nice enough to let us ordinary mortals land on a small portion of its Caribbean shores…). So, Nancy, lead on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gyork Posted February 29 Author Share Posted February 29 For those of you who don't like playing guessing games, I've included the answers, in white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Sylvester Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 I know some and could guess some but: I tried and failed at writing in white. How do we now see them in white? I am just not much on tech.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Place your mouse cursor just beyond the clue, click/hold, then drag to the right, to highlight the answer(s). To write in white, type a sentence, word, or nonsense letters, highlight letters with mouse, then go here: Then choose the white box (color of text).
