Name That Place

Name That Place is a weekly image challenge presented to the students of GEOG 102, Geography of the United States and Canada. The images were all taken somewhere in the United States or Canada. Examine the image, and answer the question. Be the first person from class to hand me a piece of paper containing your name and the correct answer, and get 5 extra credit points. That's right, 5 points! No phone-ins or emails. You must be the first to track me down and hand me the paper containing your answer. You can submit only one answer in any 6 hour period, and the total maximum points you can achieve is 20.
