Those are palm trees. Not close to Charleston. It is on an island, or should we say a key.....but not those keys.

No monstrosity like that would dare be seen in Charlesssston... We make our towers out brick... Most of my family is from Richmond so I know... Favorite line from the movie 1776 when NC delegate rose to vote on the declaration of independence North Carolina just a small column humility between two pillars of conceit votes Aye! VA and SC go hand in hand and do not think you will see a water tower like that. So know we need to narrow it down. Trim (50/50 Chance) I am going to say it is on the.... Gulf Side Yes or No we will now know what side it is on. Last edited by TomB; 08/11/2020 01:12 PM. “Every time I open a bottle of wine, it is an amazing trip somewhere!” José Andrés

The water tower is sitting just outside of the restaurant, up the hill maybe 50 yards. I am sure several people have eaten there, and will recognize the landmark.

No hills on Captiva that any larger than a sand bunker. The hill I am referring to is a Florida hill, elevation of 15 to 20 ft. You are narrowing in, but if you don’t recognize it now, you aren’t going to guess it without google at the 18 hour mark.

Tom will have to make that call. I would think phoning a friend is worth the effort, but if you just texted, that is too easy. One more clue before Beerman gets it. This place is rumored to be the inspiration for a cheeseburger song. Of course as you travel the Caribbean, there are several places with similar claims. Name it Beerman.

Cabbage Key is in the sound end of Charlotte Harbor, just off of Pine Island. The restaurant is very popular and can only be reached by boat. Supposedly Jimmy Buffett’s Cheeseburger in Paradise was inspired by or written at Cabbage Key. The water tower shown in the picture is a well known landmark for Cabbage Key. I wish I had taken a picture of it in the day light, but the night time picture with the moon was just too cool. Beerman, you are up.

Malta and Lake Titicaca I have been to Malta (and loved it) Not sure I will make it but I would love to go to Lake Titicaca. Thanks for the Advice! So where to now you ask... Next is a set of very famous doors, albeit no longer used as an entrance. I am sure everyone knows about what lies on the other side and have probably passed through these doors via the written word or by watching a movie.
