I think you may be right! :)

Or on the SAR link line that used to run at the ordinance factory that has been the basis of much comment on other posts here over the last two days.

In fact I am going to go for the latter...

Actually visited today with MrsWoody, pleasant drive along the N2, only half an hour from our apartment/ bomb factory, but I did discover another microbrewery’s products “ The Old Tin Hat Brewery “, I can recommend the IPA.

Not Austria, Ex-A, further south and west.

The building is very close to a much more famous place of pilgrimage.

Ha, not Nome...but that would have been good.

Yes the girl is a Gnome too---They are married, (at the equator by the Captain of Sea Launch, I was the pilot on the last launch). They are Timothy & Tabitha:

When I ran river rafting trips I told clients that as master of the craft, I could perform marriages, but they were only valid for the duration of the voyage.

Certainly my UK sailing qual made clear that marriages had to be confirmed by an ordained minister when the voyage was over. That being done, the marriage date would be that of the onboard ceremony.
G-man counts double because of his CLDD ordination.

Not Colorado, but I can see why you would go with that based on the altimeter.
