"Uffda Minnesota!", MRC, and thanks for the compliment.
If I were a betting man (which of course I'm not), I'd bet a good beer that the photo wasn't taken at the mystery spot. The relevant state (bigger as well as colder than Texas) is 1 of only 14 states where F. vulgare is not reported.
I believe that there was a job posting for this mystery spot a couple of months ago that required some very specific skills and experience.
Right you are on all counts, tomp. OK, time to stop beating around the bush (or the F. vulgare, as it were). The Mystery Spot is the sled dog kennel(s) at Denali National Park & Preserve. Kudos to MRC, terry, and tomp (in that order) for supplying the correct answer. Be sure to visit Traveler tomorrow and read Mystery Spot 6 Revealed for a full explanation of the clues.
