Nice coincidence. Of course, you're right.

Very cool! Did anyone get LL's railroad?

Lamplighter · 11-12-2011, 04:30 PM

That faded away... it's the Baily Railroad Yard in North Platte, Nebraska

I have a picture I took from that same overlook! Taken on September 28, 1993. It's just an overlook on the road to Hana on Maui.

Wherezit or whatzit:

OK. I'll yammer on a little bit.

I see coniferous trees. I see a snow covered mountain in the background. I see a lot of bare ground. The American cars look kind of old. This picture was probably taken in the 90s. I'm thinking it's in the West somewhere. Maybe Colorado, but could be any number of Western states with high altitude.

It's a big building. Probably a hotel or lodge. Old. Historic.

infinite monkey · 11-21-2011, 09:42 AM

Correct so far!

glatt · 11-21-2011, 09:46 AM

That cupola is a distinctive feature. Not many hotels out there with cupolas like that.

infinite monkey · 11-21-2011, 09:57 AM

I think you already know it.

glatt · 11-21-2011, 09:59 AM

I don't! I'm doing all sorts of searches using the terms I can think of.

That bare ground says it's dry there.

The Overlook Hotel

infinite monkey · 11-21-2011, 10:13 AM

Yeah, well...it's the Stanley Hotel, which was King's inspiration for the book. The movie was filmed on soundstages, with exterior shots of Timberline Lodge.

However, they did use The Stanley for the made for tv version.

The Stanley is said to be haunted, natch.

AN Overlook, if you will.
