Happy New Year Break! (Back on Jan 9, 2019)

Image
It's been quite a year...  I made it back to Bonaire this year, looking for more parrotfish, and more Challenges.  The tropics will return to SRS in the months ahead!  When I look back over the past twelve months of Challenges, answers, comments, and discussion, I see a rich back-and-forth between readers (some of whom are active commenters), me, and the world at large.   I mean, look at the range of topics we've investigated!  We've talked about everything from why an island in Fiji seems to be missing ( January 3, 2018 ) to deep investigations about why a piece of real estate in San Francisco seems to be unusually shaped ( February 28 ), to how large seeds are dispersed ( June 2 ), and why a stream in Austria seems to flow uphill ( July 25 ).  These are all amazingly curious observations about the world; things we notice that drive our curiosity and our research.  What I find so much fun about these Challenges (and frankly, the discussions that ...

Answer: What are those wheels doing

Image
There's a lot of construction going on...  ... and so there are a lot of cranes in the local Google landscape, including a bunch of very tall, very large, and very odd ones.     So I was surprised when I saw tall poles on the construction site with what looks like wheels on the top.   The obvious question: "What are these things?"   Here's the original picture, and a closeup of what look like big bicycle wheels at the top of several of the vertical posts.    This is my original photo, taken on a run past a large Google construction site. Here's a better, closer-up picture that I took yesterday...    Does this help?   How about these pictures?  In this one, you can see the wire ropes going up into the wheel--so we now know it seems to be something more like a reel (or spool).   1.  What are these mysterious wheeled poles called?  Why are there wheels on top?  What do they do?  ...

Answer: Digging into the past of long-vanished towns

Image
You never know what you'll find in the hills...   In my case, I found the remnants of two 19th century mining towns!  How did we do this week?  Remember that the Challenge questions were:    1.  What were the names of the towns located near  37.1832161, -121.8543355  ?  Where did the inhabitants come from?  2.  Did these two towns have churches?  If so, what denomination were they?  3.  What was the most common disease / syndrome at these towns?  What would you do to cure the disease / syndrome?  4.   (Optional / extra credit)   Can you find any pictures of these town taken at their prime?  As AlmadenMike was the first to point out, this photo location is in Almaden / Quicksilver County Park.  Just drop that lat/long into Google Maps and you'll find that out.  When I'm doing historical and location-based research like this, I like to look at the place on a map.  You'll...
