Actually serious this time, the "-Living here would scare most people if they didn't know what I know" hint is really throwing me off.

I figured it would until someone got close to the answer... then they'd be like Ooooooh yeaaaah.

I'll post the bigger photo tomorrow and you'll see why I said that ;)

I'm assuming some folks are stumped... bc I've gotten no entry's yet, LOL

I will say this... this spot is within 500 miles of another spot already seen on this challenge.

I was able to use Google's maps for the last easy. I didn't participate yesterday since I was busy with family and friends. And since my parents' computer/internet combination is way too slow to run Google Earth, it looks like today's challenge is going to disqualify me. I will keep watching, and I hope everyone has a grand ol' time :)

I actually get to take part in something akin to the computer system building competition this week. My parents wanted a nice system for $1500, and I have designed it and get to build it this week, so that will make up for not being about to finish out the Geo Challenge.

That being said, I should have guessed on yesterdays, would have gotten it right. :-x

Oh, I agree though, the hints on this one are kinda confusing :eek:

Good luck everybody.

LOL, right now you're out in the lead so far, it'll take them a few days to catch you.

And since you also said today's hints are confusing...

Here's another one that may help:

Think about the "themes" I've followed. This spot is also at the top of it's list (for something). It's what you can't see in the image that will make most of you go ... OMG how'd I miss that.

I suspect most of you just don't believe a city is THAT close to it ;)

The question is, is it the city that nearby that was in the previous challenge...
Because there are some pretty big cities you have sent us to. :-?

Negative... it wasn't a city ;) Oh, and this place and the other place have something in common... I forgot that part.

One of you has gotten it so far ;)
