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."

Nice going, viewmtn, and welcome to the Winners Circle. Sorry 'bout your captcha travails.


Not Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arts.


Is it New Bedford Whaling National Historical Park


Sorry, Ken, but it's not New Bedford Whaling National Historical Park.


Hi Bob,

This is a wild guess...I recall hearing or reading that Blackbeard lived and died on Ocracoke Island. Is it Cape Hatteras National Seashore?

Renee


Yes, the pirate Blackbeard (Edward Teach) was killed aboard his ship Adventure in a ferocious battle near Ocracoke Island. But no, the mystery spot is not Cape Hatteras National Seashore.


How about Jolley gulch, Zion National park?
