Off the beaten path

[Jim S]

So...since every one is recovering from Christmas, and Sno is still trying to keep food down, lets see how well you know this countryside.

Tangled's intrepid reporting assistant has been working on a fresh made surprise to the winner.

Anyone know where in the US this pic was taken????

Any hints.:rolleyes:

[Driftr 01]

Outside? :wink:

[blackcat]

Looks like Wisconsin.

[Dreamcast18]

somewhere along route 66 :confused:

[Jim S]

Hints humm.....lets see,

Geographically speaking, it looks like it's in the middle of a corn field, not on Route 66, not even close to 66. But to evenly balance things out, guess I should point out that it is in the midddle of nowhere.

Lets see if I can find something else. Back shortly.

Was a battle fought there :?::?::?:

[Jim S]

Norm, no battle. Cathi was at home, I was there with the rest of the group.
:rll::rll: Uhmmm, don't let Cathi know I said that.

[Jim S]

A lot of this was on the road there.

Looked for Toto but couldn't find him anywhere.

[Jim S]

As you can see, it's a long road to get there. Really trying to balance the answers so I don't give the answer away.

Ok, so it must be Kansas.

[Dreamcast18]

The answer lies here...I think..

These folks were a few hours down the road. They said something about keeping things on the level.

DC, here's a better clue. It's at this intersection.

Anyone else care to take a slice at the answer?

[Jim S]

So Bill.......I guess you found Toto. Know the answer yet???

[pumpkin]

Some where in Kansas. Yellow brick road.

[Tangled up in 'Vitamin C']

...where Toto is buried ???
...whats left of the house that fell on the wicked witch
...where Kansas wrote their song, "Dust in the wind"

...kinda reminds me of a monument where 3 or 4 states meet, or you can see 3 or 4 states from the monument...something like that

[Dreamcast18]

never mind...

...where Toto is buried ???


Africa ?

OK, so we know it is in Kansas. There is a church there also right next to the monument. I guess so you can pray you find your way out of there.

Tangled, the view from there is nothing but corn fields.

So..lets see. Try to balance out your thoughts. Keep things in your mind level, to the point.

Geographical Center of the 48 States.
I know this only because Rapid City is near the Geographical Center of the Continental United States.
This was all part of my research for the perfect central place for a Prowler event. We settled on Deadwood and the Black Hills.

And we have a winner!!!

Larry, I will make the arrangments for some of Pete's Schweaty balls to be delivered to the FMB shop. You might want to share them with the boys in the shop.

Supposed to be the geographical center of the US if it was of an even thickness.

And that folks, concludes tonights geography quiz.

Thanks for playing along.

[Jim S]

Almost forgot, excellent job of figuring out the pics DC. You almost had it.

Oh...no fair eliminating your Missouri guess, LOL
