Traveling with PugsleyTonks

What is Traveling with PugsleyTonks all about?? My goal is the pursuit of that little slice of Americana. It's not big name or high-cost tourism. PugsleyTonks likes to find that diamond in the rough or go to the out of the way small town. I want to visit the oldest bar in every state with hopes that they serve some PBR on tap. Find that unique "ma-pa" restaurant with an interesting blue collar atmosphere and large portions to match. Or, perhaps its as simple as a little walkabout in the city to discover that strange little statue or other oddities. So, please come and join me in my search for Americana. Discover some obscure attraction or learn some useless information. All are welcome and its really just good, clean travel fun. PT

CHALLENGE

CHALLENGE #6

CHALLENGE #6

This next challenge is a sliding scale of difficulty. If you can get it at Level 1, that’s quite impressive….Level 4, not so impressive, but thank you for stubbornly figuring it out. Anyway, put your guess in the COMMENTS section at the bottom of the post AND include the clue level that you used to get it.

In what US city is this young man sitting in???

Level 1 Clue – No clues needed. Your travel history and photographic memory are all that is needed.

Level 2 Clue – Just triangulate the miles from all the cities and the answer is obvious.

Level 3 Clue – Kind of looks like a major cruise ship in the upper left

Level 4 Clue – Just Google the store name…duh

ANSWER TO CHALLENGE #5

OK, as promised, the lower degree of difficulty with the last Challenge enabled many of you to regain some confidence. I hope to crush your newly gained confidence with this weekend’s CHALLENGE.

The picture shows the smallest “something” in the USA. What smallest thing am I? And, where am I?

Pictured above is the post office in Ochopee, Florida…the smallest Post Office in the USA. I think the higher degree of CHALLENGE difficulty was achieved on this one. However, one of my Floridian subscribers thwarted me and provided the correct answer…well done. Just a bit on the Ochopee Post Office. Its the usual story. Its an irrigation shed for the nearby tomato farm. Then, in 1953, the previous Ochopee Post Office burns to the ground. Some Einstein then decides that the irrigation shed would make a perfect post office…and the rest is history. Besides this fascinating federal building, my son and I also bopped around the Everglades National Park and found a couple other things to do that day. PT

    I had to go to level 4. Sorry, too tough for me

  • The signs are reversed, I guess because of the mystery of photography: if NYC is west and Tokyo is east, you should be in Europe. But you aren’t…very tricky PT!

    • Lynn. I am not sure it’s tricky. Aren’t you assuming the camera is pointing North…thus your assumption that NYC is west. But, if the camera were pointing south….would not the left side be east. Right? Or am I confused….which is always possible
