EPICSKI was here - guessing game

Any gamers out there?

 

I saw this photo in a recent post from Nolo about attending the Red Ants Pants Fest in Montana:

Anybody else have photographic evidence of taking their EPICSKI logo'd hats/stickers/etc. to interesting or unusual places this offseason?  And do you want to make us guess where at?

 

For example:  my hat in photo below is pretty hard to make out, but it's just like Nolo's.  Can you guess where I'm at?   Hint: during the Civil War a President lived in this fabulously restored and historic house, but he was gone by the time Abe Lincoln arrived.

OK, to answer my own post:  this is The White House of the Confederacy in Richmond, VA, photo taken 7/30/12.    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_House_of_the_Confederacy

I was in Richmond taking a relative for a dental procedure at the VCU medical school.  Had some time to kill so my wife and I toured the former residence of Mr and Mrs Jefferson Davis from 1861-1865.  The interior is amazingly restored with more than 50% of their original furnishings.  Jeff Davis was the president of the Confederate States of America (also West Point grad, former US Senator and US Sec of War).  The Davis family evacuated the house and city in April 1865 when Union forces approached. Abe Lincoln subsequently met with his generals there for a briefing and was assassinated ten days later back in Wash DC. 

 

Who else has an entry??

Nope - not Whistler. I will try to post another clue later -- have been busy with our task at hand.

 

Next one won't be as hard since I will take it outside.

Bbinder, you're supposed to give some hints, not tell the location.  Sheesh!

Thanks  - he had some good results and improved his rankings. I will post some pics/video in Kid Stoke after I sort through it all. He broke the one minute mark for Megaminx (cube in photo) which ranks him 3rd in the USA for that particular cube single solve (didn't get a pic of that since I was too excited). The event lasted 3 days and he was in 14 events.

I think a little of both.  

We need to get him up here to ski more.  

 

 

Funny thing, I saw a ton of EpicSki hats at the gathering but I can't seem to find many pics of them.

I had a chance for a really special "Epicski swag was here" photo yesterday, but I blew it.  Cameras and extra stuff were hard to get in this place:

 

 

 

 

 

Photoshop anyone?

This is a legit entry for this thread.  Can you guess what ski area they were at for PSIA exams?
