Question 71.

This river was explored by Adriaen Block. The river is about 410 miles long and runs through mainly hilly terrain. What river is this?

poops2u · January 9, 2006

Hey, and thanks for coming back to the thread!

That river is the Connecticut River.

-P2U

amal81 · January 10, 2006

East River is the answer.

Mikeaut1 · January 11, 2006

The answer is indeed The Connecticut River.
Originally I was looking for The Delaware River, but the Connecticut is acceptable and qualifies for all the criteria set out in the last question.

Poops2u ~ +10!

Question 73.

This city was once inhabited by Native Americans (or American Indians). The first explorers to come through this area were Lewis and Clark, who did their explorations in the early 1800's. Today, it serves as a hub for business and employment, but is one of the smaller and lesser known cities.

What city is this?

Fairlane500 · January 11, 2006

I'm going to go ahead and say Portland, Oregon, but I'm not sure.

Mikeaut1 · January 12, 2006

I'm sorry, Portland is not correct. There is a chance to steal!

tchaos713 · January 12, 2006

Boise, ID

amal81 · January 12, 2006

Is it Kansas city by any chance??

pickled_pig · January 12, 2006

I'd imagine it's Omaha... but that's a guess.

Cjah · January 13, 2006

Eugen Oregon?(wrong spelling)

Good to see this back mike I thought this was long over....

Fairlane500 · January 13, 2006

Walla Walla, Washington, perhaps?

jessyka who? · January 19, 2006

Bismarck, ND.

Mikeaut1 · January 22, 2006

Wow, everyone here was stumped!

The correct answer was Sioux City, Iowa.

Question 76.

This state is the largest breeding population of trumpeteer swans in the US. Also, this state has the largest species of mammals. Also, one of the cities in this state is nicknamed Cowboy Capital. What state is this??

Fairlane500 · January 23, 2006

I'm going to say California. (Oakdale is known as the cowboy capital.)

tchaos713 · January 24, 2006

Wyoming

Constantina · January 24, 2006

Texas

Mikeaut1 · January 24, 2006

Well, the correct answer was Montana and Miles City is the cowboy capital. When trying to answer the questions, try not to take one clue from the question and try to figure out the answer. Although there is a city known as Coyboy Capital in California, the rest of the criteria set out in the clue doesn't fit California.

No points awarded for this question!
