Today’s mystery might make you think of a Caribbean island where English is the mother tongue. Or is it somewhere else? Use your noggin to figure this out, and send the answer you come up with to elliott@brack.net. Include your hometown.
We thought the most recent Mystery Photo might have been difficult, and only three people solved it. Many regulars had a tough time with this photograph. Those solving the mystery from Mark Barlow of Peachtree Corners included Allan Peel of San Antonio, Tex., George Graf of Palmyra, Va. and Susan McBrayer of Sugar Hill.
Peel wrote: “This is of The Black Bridge, a rather rickety 300-foot long wooden bridge that crosses over the Chimehuín River approximately in Junín de los Andes in the Patagonia region of Argentina near Neuquén. The Chimehuín River is fed by snowmelt from the Andes, and is known as one of the best rivers in the world for fly fishing. There are many lodges in the area that offer fly fishing adventures and tours, with the Tipiliuke Lodge, at three miles away from the Black Bridge, being the closest such facility to the bridge. The types of fish that are most frequently caught in the river are two non-native species of Salmonidae…15-to-20 inch sized brown trout and rainbow trout. While this is the ‘typical’ size of fish caught, there are stories from the 1940s about some of the first fly fishermen from the area who reportedly caught 18-to-20 pound brown trouts ‘monsters’ in the river.”
