Re: Who and Where is Pat Pend? The color to me would either be the Coke Cool Station by TT or Club Cool (esp when it was Ice Station Cool). The hint seems to be Club Cool.
Ding ding ding! It's not Club Cool...had to go a little farther west than that...one of the Innoventions was warmer, but keep headed past them to The Land. Indeed as mPower guessed, this is in Living with the Land. As you go through the boat ride and come into the Greenhouse area, just before you go through the final exit of the greenhouse you pass between the Nasa agricultural experiments - in which plants are being grown in various weightless or centrifugal conditions and fed moisture and air pressure through PVC piping. That's THIS! Good work, mPower.
I just did the 'go west, young man' thing and that's where I got to first. Can you post the original picture so we can see it in context?
I can...but not until tonight...the original is on my home computer and I'm at work. It was already a closeup shot, which I cropped even further - but you can still see the full pipeworks for some perspective on where it is.
BTW - Glad to know my Horace Greeley reference worked! Those don't always work with today's younger generations, so I'm never sure if I'm just dating myself with old historical references!
Here's the wider shot of Pat Pend, BTW, for those who asked for it more in context! [attachment deleted by admin]
holy smokes, never in a million years, and i have pulled some out of my netheregions. no chance on this one.
I was really on the hunt for these on my January trip! I was getting very strange looks from my family and friends, and even some passerby, taking photos of very unusual things. Glad it at least paid off!
That's probably one of the symptoms that Jeff Foxworthy would list in his 'You might be a TMIPer' routine: "If your kids just jumped the fence to the gorilla enclosure and you didn't notice because you were too busy taking a telephoto shot of the wording on the backpack by the camera above the cliff face for a WAI post...You might be a TMIPer." I'm already there...sounds like you're about to join the list!
Ive tried looking for WAIs this week but Im just not very good at it I thought maybe I should take a picture of a random leaf and say "okay where am I" but that would be mean LOL.
