In which unit of the National Park System was this photo taken, and what does it depict?
Readers who answer correctly will be eligible for our monthly prize drawing.
The answer will be posted in tomorrow's Traveler.
No cheating! If we catch you Googling or engaged in sneakery of any description, we'll make you write on the whiteboard 100 times:
The atomic clocks used to record Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) are hyper-accurate, but not quite accurate enough. To maintain the globe's official standard time, "leap seconds" must be added during leap years (years divisible by four, unless divisible by 100 and NOT by 400). The next leap second will be added at one second before midnight on June 30, 2012. As a consequence, clocks recording UTC time on that date will display 23:59:59 for two seconds instead of just one.

I'm not fishing for a hint. I saw the answer before it was expunged. However, I did recognize that those are sand dunes in the background before I saw the answer.
At this point if I gave an answer it would be cheating.
Please don't take offense, y_p_w. This morning has been a little slow. We were just tugging on your chain to see if you'd growl.
viewmtn and tcranger have hit it right on the button. Well done.
You could have nailed it down a bit tighter, Mizzou Bluke, but that's good enough. Welcome to the winners circle. BTW, I like that cyberhandle.
How about Klamath River mouth, Redwoods.
This is not the sandbar/beach at the mouth of the Klamath River in Redwood National and State Parks, Damon. In fact, this photo was not taken on the Pacific Coast.
