Google Maps Scavenger Hunt

10 million lbs of ordnance exploded here in WWII

 

Concord Naval Weapons Station,CA Let me find something. I'll post in a moment.

 

Here you go no clues to start.

 

Clue 1: The outside is made of quartz.

 

Clue 2: Only two elevators reach the top floor

 

Clue 3: The original proposal called for a 1,150 ft (350.5 m) building, which would have been for one year the second-tallest completed building in the world

 

I can't believe nobody's got this yet. That's gotta be the Transamerica building in San Francisco.

 

You got it.

 

I hope I'm not letting anyone down by guessing and then not posting another picture. I don't have one ready, so if someone else does, please go ahead. I'll try to be more active with posting when I've crawled out from under this mountain of work.

 

This place was the location of a first time accomplishment for a woman.

 

Image is a little grainy. Women's track and field?

 

Thats the closest resolution available in this region.
I think its probably much larger than a running track ,its 1 and a half miles.

 

I originally thought about women's bobsledding at the 2002 Utah Winter Olympics but it didn't look anything like your picture.

 

Didn't a woman recently win an Indy race for the first time? I think it was held in Hochigi, Japan.

 

Yup, youre up.

 

Oh, that was just a lucky guess. All I did was read the news that Dana Patrick had won an Indy 300 (not 500?) in Japan. I don't have a picture ready, so someone else can take my turn. Maybe on the weekend I'll have time to find some more map pictures for us. Go ahead, somebody.

 

This is a closeup of a famous place in the news a lot lately.

 

Indy looks a little different at the moment, though. :rain: :car: :rain:


Here's another that's been in the news lately:

 

Anybody still playing? Need a hint? Here's a picture of the other half. The location will be in the news again about this time next year.
