Where in the World is Gumbo now? The picture would seem to indicate Gumbo is in the past, and yet he was present. The scene is ancient, but it is still in regular use. As usual, you are invited to collaborate with others who can puzzle out...
Once again, WorkerBee grabbed the glory, using the background statue as his starting point to identify a gallery along the courtyard of Cuernavaca Cathedral in Mexico. Watch tomorrow for Where in the World is Gumbo's...
Here's another (hopefully) puzzling picture for the Gumbo Guessers. No helpful signs with language cues, but plenty of architectural and historical points to ponder and play with. Oh, that's Mrs. Gumbo waiting on the bench while the picture was...
Worker Bee has done it again. On Wednesday, by e-mail, he took a shot and hit a similar church 6 hours drive away—and then came back with the right town, the right church, the same link Gumbo found to the Bollywood video—and the...
Take a deep breath...smell the mountain air...and think movie scene. No, not The Sound of Music. Not Heidi. Think Bollywood. And after having been beaten around by expert guessers who have dashed his hopes of mystery and mystification...
Gumbo, the slippery little devil, remained elusive this time around. Some good guesses, but no one recognizing the place or area. Gumbo was visiting the Parknasilla Resort on Ireland's famous Ring of Kerry. The resort is...
This is the place in question. Gumbo likes the look of this building, just over 100 year old. He likes the landscaping. To reach it he had to drive up this pretty lane.... Never being content with just a quick...
Gumbo was visiting the Mission of San Xavier del Bac in Arizona, between Tucson and Green Valley, and once again WorkerBee gets the nod for catching him at it! Original puzzle HERE. The mission is the oldest...
Kudos to WorkerBee for doing the hard work of figuring out WITW 8.5, and for sharing his clear logic with us in his comment. Gumbo is finding it harder and harder to stay ahead of the travel sleuths in our membership, but may have found a place...
Gumbo pauses occasionally to visit a church, and was charmed by this one, less grand than most of the most-visited. As usual, no prize but praise to the first to guess where this one is and name it. In addition to that honor, the winner and...
Despite some very thoughtful and educated guesses by our readership, Gumbo was elusive this time around. Gumbo was traveling with some biologists in southern Australia (Kangaroo Island to be precise) and was fascinated to see this baby...
This jaunty houseboat, moored just off Aker Brygge, Oslo's old port area, probably started life as a small fishing vessel. Even painted Pepto-Bismol pink, it's just one of many unusual watercraft you'll see on a short ferry ride across the harbor. On...
Here's this week's TravelGumbo photo puzzle: Can you tell us where it is? And no, it does NOT belong to a Mary Kay Cosmetic salesperson. The answer will appear on Tuesday, Jan. 7...and if everyone is stuck, there may be hints before then. So jump...
There have been some highly educated guesses as to what and where Gumbo is, although they are not quite on the mark yet. I think with these new clues we'll get this wrapped up and solved by Thursday. A slightly different view of the...
