National Park Mystery Spot 42: Striking Fear

Mystery Spot 42 is one of America’s 397 national parks. If you can identify it you will eligible for our monthly prize drawing.

Here are all the clues you should need to identify this mystery spot:

Bills are normally
Something else formally
When serious money is pledged.

The menacing flag that the pirates flew
Struck fear in the hearts of a merchantman’s crew.

In times of great need, your fears will subside
If you truly believe that God will provide.

Bonus clue, no extra charge: Though very small, its name’s longest of all.

         

No cheating! If we catch you Googling or engaged in sneakery of any kind, we will make you write on the whiteboard 100 times: "Occupational Safety & Health Administration statistics show that, every day in America, 12 people go to work and never come home, while 2,200 OSHA employees go to work and never work."

Sorry, Ken; it's not Salem Maritime National Historic Site.


I'm the opposite, Lee. It's the photographic puzzles that perplex me the most. I actually have a chance with the verbal clues. This time, like many times, one of the clues was the key, and the rest followed along after I realized the significance of it.


Lyndon Baines Johnson Memorial Grove on the Potomac National Memorial?

Not sure how this fits most of the clues, but it certainly is a stab at using the bonus clue since it is very small and has quite a long name.


Sorry, viewmtn, it's not Lyndon Baines Johnson Memorial Grove on the Potomac.


Fort Jefferson on Garden Key in Dry Tortugas National Park
