dykins Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 Totally off topic: Every time I see Don's pic of the Continental Devide, I come up with the same question: obviously, the person who shot the pic had the sun in his (her) back, according to the shadow, so he/she was positioned south-ish of the car, thus looking north or north east. From that position I would guess that the text on the plaquette has to be switched: the 'Atlantic' text on the right, the 'Pacific' text on the left. What do I miss (answers on a postcard or a PM). Menno I can't help but thinking that you have too much time on your hands. Regards Peter Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Menno van Rij Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 Menno - As mentioned above by Roger, there are twists and turns in those mountains and the slope towards the Pacific at that spot goes "east" for a bit then the rivulets curve around and end up in the pacific. The same for the other directiion. BTW, I remember the photo being taken in late August at about noon. When we left Breconridge, it was about freezing (altitude about 9000 ft) and we drove in a long convoy climbing to the top of the pass where there was about an inch of snow trapped in the long grass - but the snow on the road had sublimated. Think about the Panama Canal. A ship travels east from the Atlantic Ocean all the way in a south-easterly direction before getting to the Pacific. This is because Panama makes a geographical "S" curve where they built the canal. Check the map. Thanks Don (and other members). I was under the impression that the line was more or less a virtual line like a meridian. Not realising that it's a geographical line. And yes, perhaps I do have a lot of time on my hands - but hey, that's what I have since I cut the hours in school (part time retired you can say) on my 52th birthday 2.5 yrs ago. And... I love Trivial Pursuit... Menno Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think post deletion is a moderator task I am sure a moderator can do it for you. To tidy things up. Is the name Ray ? where are you located ?
