Yeah, sorry about that. First time I ever uploaded anything to Flickr... Had to figure how to save a google map on the fly too...

Shkspr · 03-22-2010, 04:30 PM

I'm hoping this has enough clues without being too easy...

Eldora Speedway?

KWhit · 03-22-2010, 04:41 PM

No idea on this one.

Shkspr · 03-22-2010, 04:42 PM

Eldora?

Regardless, no, no, and no.

There are more clues than the track, but you'll have to know the what to find the where.

Subby · 03-22-2010, 04:43 PM

Seems like if that was a big time raceway or racetrack there would be more parking.

spleen1015 · 03-22-2010, 04:44 PM

I think the race track is a red herring

MikeVic · 03-22-2010, 04:45 PM

Kentucky Derby.

sooner333 · 03-22-2010, 04:45 PM

At first I thought it might be some kind of fairgrounds. But there's that mansion in the middle.

gstelmack · 03-22-2010, 04:47 PM

It's a state fairground of some kind. To the right of the track are two squiggly paths: one a minigolf course, the other like a water slide? Farther down is a merry-go-round (circle near the middle of the picture). The race track is just part of the fairground. No idea what fairgrounds though.

QuikSand · 03-22-2010, 04:48 PM

I could see that being a state fairgrounds... and since Texas has the biggest, I'll offer that.

QuikSand · 03-22-2010, 04:48 PM

grrrr

JeeberD · 03-22-2010, 04:51 PM

Damn my having to go do lawn work, I would have nailed Stonehenge, Pisa, and Victoria Falls...

This one, on the other hand, has me stumped.

Iowa STate fairground

Tigercat · 03-22-2010, 05:06 PM

Wow, I can only imagine how many state fairgrounds you looked through before you guessed that one TK, I looked up one state and decided I didn't have the patience for the hunt. Or do you have a secret past as an Iowa farm girl?

lordscarlet · 03-22-2010, 05:07 PM

I can't find anything that says the Iowa State Fair is the largest or in some other way notable.

Subby · 03-22-2010, 05:08 PM

Can we use that one as the baseline for images? They can't be any more random than that.

I knew it was a "big" fairground. I knew Iowa and Minnesota were well known for having large fairs. After Texas was eliminated...

terpkristin · 03-22-2010, 05:09 PM

Crap, I guess that means I need to do one.

Let me look around...

Guess not, then. I know maybe 30 years ago I did some work at the Ohio State Fair, and it was billed to be my some authority figure in a uniform as the 2nd largest, to Texas. It never occurred to me that the facts may have changed, or even been in error at that point. The fact that you hail from the state (or claim to) made me feel like double-checking was a silly formality. *shurg*

Rodgers and Hammerstein beg to differ with you.

I don't know what the "largest" is, but Iowa's fairgrounds measure in at about 450 acres, which beats the 277 acres at the Texas State Fair. Mostly, though, it's the pop culture of the classic book, musical, and film that make Iowa in my mind the definitive state fair. Once spleen figured out the layout, I figured it would pop up eventually.

Good job, tk!

terpkristin · 03-22-2010, 05:28 PM

This may be difficult, I'm sorry. My other option was way too easy.

Parkes Observatory?

It's definitely in the USA. I'm guessing they launch rockets from there as well.
