Where in the world is tachycoventry?????

I've been traveling a lot for work recently and it has given me the opportunity to see some really awesome locations! So here's the contest, figure out where my work has taken me. The rules are fairly simple, look at the picture below and guess where I was this past weekend.

I am looking for the name of the location shown below. It needs to be specific, I don't care if you think you were close, if it's not precise it's not going to win. The winner will get a selection of sticks from my humidor shipped to them when I return home on Friday (or Saturday, I don't actually have a return flight yet)!!

I'm going to limit this to one guess per person per day. First person to get the location gets the prize pack. I will add another new picture every day if I can get online until it is guessed. If no one guesses it by the time that I get home I'll pick the closest guess.

With that being said... this picture was taken TODAY (October 23, 2011), I hope that helps. GOOD LUCK

There's no picture....:smiley5:

Don't try and "upload it from you computer" put it on a remote site and link the URL. You should know that by now.

LOL - Funny you should mention that......my wife's in Calgary for a Health & Safety simposium and she just left yesterday. I believe her hotel is a stone's throw from the Bow. I lived in Calgary for a while back in the early 90's myself and always liked "cowtown"

Hey Tachy can us Canuck's participate?

Not sure what happened, my screen shows the photo and I assume that Sarge can see it also but just in case I screwed up somehow here it is again...

It's working on my screen (and I assume sarge's) but that may be because I saved it as a private album on this website

Can you be more specific..? The bow river has a total distance of 365 miles, about a quarter of it in Alberta alone....

Damn canucks... yes you can participate. Extra points (and sticks) if you get the exact name of the trail that I'm on OR more importantly, where I ended up...

EDITED: Not correct anyway

I've been able to see the image the whole time, and I don't believe we're on each other's contacts / friends list FYI. Sarge would sorta make sense being a mod, but I don't think the private album explaination holds water.

Thanks for the contest.

I'm going to guess 41°18'35.55"N; 122°18'38.04"W

I can see it now but I could not before, no matter which browser I used, which computer in my house I used and even from a different computer at a different location with a different ISP (the local library). I don't know WTF is going on here but there was some update to the forum with respect to placing images in posts and my guess is that's fucked up.

TackyCoventry, if you're going to post an image every day or whatever, you really need to post it on a remote site like photobucket or something similar. It really isn't fair if only some people can see your photos and others cannot. And can someone fix the damned image feature here because it's a pain in the ass.:smiley21:

In this particular instance, I don't think I could give less of a fuck. I'll try, but no promises. :smiley5:

When I go to your first post and hit "reply with quote" I can indeed see a link for the photo which is this:

http://www.cigarsmokers.com/attachme...0&d=1319426883

When I paste that into my browser and try to go to where that brings me, it comes up freakin' BLANK.

The moral of the story is don't upload photos from your computer to this site because it doesn't work properly especially if they are large megapixel photos.

I couldn't see the picture here, either. I didn't really give a shit, though :smiley36:

Somebody already guessed Banff so I'm going to guess the Lake Louise area......and thanks for letting us Canucks participate!

Oh, and should your travels ever take you up around Edmonton, Alberta, let me know and I'll see if I can't arrange to make the drive down and take you out for a cigar to my favorite B&M.

I wonder how many other members can't see it either and just saying "fuck it" and not telling him?:smiley36:

My guess for today is Nassau, Bahamas. Did I win?:smiley5:

The picture is from a trail called "Plain of the Six Glaciers". It's an amazing trail and a very awesome view if you ever find yourself in the Lake Louise area! Oddly enough, there are only 3 glaciers there, I guess that global warming is real after all!

CptnBlues63, I've sent you a PM!! Congratulations!

OMG that was a really good guess! I was thinking this was going to take twice as long as spot the cigar game! Congrats! As for kitty....maybe if you could of seen the picture you too could of guessed but so sad. He stole 1/2 your name and you were excluded from the reindeer game. I'd go on a rant if I was you....:smiley9: kidding:smiley27:

Woohoo!

I rarely ever win anything.......that's two contests in one year! I'm feeling lucky so I'm definitely buying some lotto tickets today........LOL

I've been through that area a few times. In the 80's I drove semi's for a living and frequently hauled from Saskatoon, Sk to Vancouver, BC (18 hours straight through without stopping except for gas and to eat once). I've been up and down the Jasper/Banff parkway 7 or 8 times now and camped in the Lake Louise area a couple times too so the area looked familiar. Since someone else had guessed Banff that left Lake Louise.

That's some beautifull country! If you ever get a chance to do the Jasper/Banff parkway, I'd recommend it.

If you don't mind me asking, what are you doing out there for work?

PM returned.........and again, thanks a bunch!

I stopped and checked my mail on the way home for lunch and lo and behold, there was a nice box in the mail with my name on it. I just wanted to make sure you know they arrived today in excellent shape!

Thanks Cody for the contest and the cigars. That's a nice assortment and not a single one of them is one I've tried before!

I'm looking forward to smoking all of them!
