Place guessing

No. It's rather cold a place.

Siberia?

Malte279 · **Reply #282 on:** May 15, 2005, 04:47:54 AM

Nope, remember it's in the largest of the states (which fits quite well to Siberia, but I was talking of states on another level). Those of you who read uncle scrooge comics will be familiar with the place

The what? :blink:

Which part is not clear?

Nick22 · **Reply #285 on:** May 17, 2005, 09:23:57 AM

Alaska?

Malte279 · **Reply #286 on:** May 17, 2005, 10:16:35 AM

The place is located in Alaska. There was a big Gold-rush in that area.

Does this refer to the Klondike Gold rush of 1899?

Malte279 · **Reply #288 on:** May 17, 2005, 10:41:36 AM

That's it! Klondike, which means "between two rivers". A name given to many places, even though the one in Alaska is the most famous. Your turn Nick.

This City was part of Canada before the gold rush, but part of Alaska after it. What city is it?

Malte279 · **Reply #290 on:** May 17, 2005, 06:18:41 PM

Skagway?

Nick22 · **Reply #291 on:** May 18, 2005, 03:07:25 PM

Yep. that was quick MAlte.

Malte279 · **Reply #292 on:** May 18, 2005, 03:50:45 PM

It was a lucky guess then. There are just three towns which played a role during the Klondike gold rush which I know by name and with Skagway I picked the one which I knew is furthest to the west (to Alaska). The other two towns I had in mind are Whitehorse and Dawson. Anyway:

HAstings, england

Right and your turn. I've been there many years ago. To this day they are not entirely certain on which one of two possible hills the battle was fought.

Petrie · **Reply #295 on:** May 18, 2005, 07:09:48 PM

Does this relate to the Battle of Bunker Hill? I don't have my notebook on me, but it really wasn't fought there....there's another hill....

Malte279 · **Reply #296 on:** May 18, 2005, 07:22:12 PM

No, Nick gave the answer already. Hastings is the place. He is to put up the next question. The hill where the battle of Bunker Hill was really fought is called Breeds Hill.

Petrie · **Reply #297 on:** May 19, 2005, 10:16:43 AM

I just read the last reply and didn't bother to see that the question had already been answered.

Oi...

It Happens Atvens. This island is named afdter a holiday.

Malte279 · **Reply #299 on:** May 19, 2005, 03:25:32 PM

The Easter islands or the Christmas islands? (I think the later is just an antiquated name for Hawaii)
