The cars to the left look like they're full of woodchips. Hmmm... somewhere close to a timber products industry perhaps?
Hmmm... I just checked the entire coastline of one country in particular and I didn't find it there. I have a couple more ideas.
Well... I have checked around Australia, Mexico, Southern California, the Great Salt Lake, Caspian Sea, Black Sea, Sea of Azov, Aral Sea, the Levantine coast (Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Israel), a bit of Sinai in Egypt, Peru, Chile, Argentina, spot checked the northern coast of South America, and I am noticing that my eyes are getting crossed. I would say that I want that time back except that I actually enjoyed looking around all these places. Adam
Top right corner looks pretty arid, and a dirt road too. Scattered green things along the coastline; probably trying to be trees and wondering why they ever moved to such a remote location - not even any decent broadband . . . Looks most like a quarry now; scooping up the white/grey stuff and putting it in trains to ship it far far away. Ocean or lake? (C) 2008 Europa Technologies, eh? Oh, and what's with "Last edited by Stourbridge Lion : Today at 03:27 PM. Reason: 31" 31's not much of a reason, unless it's the number of viewers so far?
You got me Yep, nothing more than how many views as of that point to give me a loose feel how well the game is being tracked from post to post...
Ha ha! That looks a little more lush than what I was looking for. I was checking all of the arid areas I could think of that might fit the description, plus a couple not so arid. Hmmm... little stream there. Some of the rail is over a causeway. Hmmm... may not be saltwater after all... hmmm...
Doesn't appear to be on the Columbia River. It looked maybe like the BNSF line along the Columbia, but I can't find it. AnotherATSFAdmirer will be posting the answer as somewhere in Galblerkistan pretty soon.
Hey, not me! I've actually been to work this week, and tried to sleep some as well. Plus my ISP is throttling me for using the internet. Google Earth at 64kbit is very tedious. Causeway bottom right, implies high $$ area (low $$ area would just go around the problem); sure there's some green on the stream. That single house top-right with the long driveway and the horse-shoe fence is very.. interesting. No idea of country at all. I've already circled most of the eastern european inland seas - Black sea, Caspian, Azov, Aegean, turkish coast.. Then I got bored and went to play with my electric stapler.. mmm..
Question I'm thinking the next "Clue" might be a big give away and thus the first person that sees the post might get it very quickly. So, do I stop giving clue's on this one or just give hints so folks acorss the timezones have more of an equal chance? Thoughts? :tb-wacky: :tb-wacky: :tb-wacky: :tb-wacky:
I like the idea of hints instead of giveaway clues. I even like the idea of kind of esoteric hints where you need to do a little research, such as you could give us a hint about what that mining or gravel operation is producing.
Hint #1 Did Darren forget to cut this off the image or did he leave it there for a reason, and if so why did he do that? :tb-confused: :tb-confused: :tb-confused: :tb-confused:
The Europa isn't as much of a clue as I thought. I've got the whole of .nz showing on google earth right now, and it's got "(C) 2008 Europa Technologies" on it; so that text doesn't limit the search space at all. More research hints are good. Just don't pick ones that show up on Google straight away. (The beginner ones about 6th Century AD were quite frustrating == "good")
Hints that make us think are good. Right now I'm using http://www.yellowairplane.com/VirtualOnlineMuseum, which has a list of aviation museums, in trying to solve I004.
