Traveling with PugsleyTonks

Traveling with PugsleyTonks is about the pursuit of that little slice of Americana. It's not big name or high-cost tourism. PugsleyTonks likes to find that little known tourist trap…that diamond in the rough attraction…the hole in the wall restaurant…or the special dive bar serving PBR. So, please come and join me in my search for Americana. All are welcome and its really just good, clean travel fun. PT

CHALLENGE – NAME THAT VIEW

Description of the Game

If you saw the creature in the feature photo, that little guy has absolutely nothing to do with this post. He is a permanent resident at the Museum of the Weird in Austin, Texas. In this case, his purpose is to merely catch your eye and increase the probability that you will open and read this post.

This blog is about exploring and sharing obscure Americana. However, in all my travels, I can not help but stumble upon sites with real historic significance. As any good tourist, while I am in the area, I do not pass up the opportunity to visit these noteworthy attractions. So, I decided to share some of these stops in the form of a CHALLENGE – Name That View. The pictures below show the exact sight line that someone saw just before a HUGE historic event. Your job is to put yourself in the location of the photographer. Then, look along this historic view and…

NAME THAT VIEW

VIEW #1

From where I am standing to that white obelisk…it all started. NAME THAT VIEW

VIEW #2

From where Carol holds the camera to the stupid guy in the street…some say this never happened. NAME THAT VIEW

VIEW #3

From where I am standing…way out to that large rock in the field…perhaps the saddest view of the group. NAME THAT VIEW

Wrap it up

That’s it. Three completely different historic views to CHALLENGE your knowledge. Do you have what it takes to get CHALLENGE – Name That View. Please put your guesses in the COMMENTS section below…as opposed to answering on Facebook or texting me. The answers to the views will post this Saturday morning. Have a wonderful day. PT

    View number 1. This is a guess, but when we attended your wedding local towns folk were disturbed that we would not walk a few blocks to see where the shot heard around the world took place. Concord – Beginning of the Revolutionary War
