Mystery photo(s) number nine

July 14, 2012 by Dave Knadler

The landmark as it appears today.
The landmark as it appeared in 1871.

Eexplorers traveling through this country one August came across this landmark. They didn’t have to name it, because their guide told them it already had a name.

For for one point, name the guide and the landmark. For three points, tell why the explorers considered the landmark so significant.

More along these lines:

  • Mystery photo number six
  • I got them new-car hankerin’ blues
  • The boy is back in townThe boy is back in town
  • A poseur in the Capitol of Cool
  • Mystery photo number one

About Dave Knadler

Obscure writer. Lazy photographer. Bashful guitarist. Perhaps too fond of wine. Tireless nemesis of New York Times crosswords, Wordle, Semantle and all other puzzles du jour.

    Beaverhead Rock, Sacagawea showed it to Lewis and Clark

    It was important because it was a landmark that Sacagawea said she could use to find her tribe, the Shoshones. Lewis and Clark needed to find the Shoshones so that they could get some horses.

    Mark gets four points, for a total of nine.

    That was quick! I guess I should make these more challenging.
    By the way, if anyone notices a discrepancy in the running point totals, let me know. Being on the road, my accounting system is kind of haphazard.
