OK so I'm new to google earth...how do I hide all of the little point-of-interest dots so they don't show up in my screenshot?

JPhillips · 03-26-2010, 02:42 PM

There's a labels checkbox in the upper right corner.

DataKing · 03-26-2010, 02:49 PM

Got it. OK here we go. Probably a bit too easy, but I think we need an easy one after the last one.

Rizon · 03-26-2010, 02:50 PM

3 mile island?

3 Mile Island?

Rizon · 03-26-2010, 02:54 PM

You wasted too much time by using correct capitalization

KWhit · 03-26-2010, 02:56 PM

Rizon · 03-26-2010, 02:57 PM

Easy one, not sure if it's been done yet.

Abe Sargent · 03-28-2010, 02:23 AM

Bump?

Rizon · 03-29-2010, 01:49 PM

Oh wow, I thread killed.

Oh geez. I should have known that. I even looked it up as a possible idea

Karlifornia · 03-29-2010, 04:57 PM

Rungrado May Day Stadium, Pyongyang, North Korea

Tigercat · 03-29-2010, 05:00 PM

Yup, someone would have probably guessed it or found it sooner if I had a smaller zoom on it to show off the lovely streets of downtown Pyongyang.

Karlifornia · 03-29-2010, 06:22 PM

Wolfpack · 03-29-2010, 11:05 PM

Not sure if you want something more specific, but the park in the middle is Russian Hill Park in San Francisco.

Wolfpack · 03-29-2010, 11:12 PM

We visited this city on our honeymoon, but not this particular place, though it is historically important.

Karlifornia · 03-30-2010, 03:58 AM

Wow....very good, Wolfpack..I was actually trying to sneak in Lombard Street at the bottom, but that'll do.

Ha! I didn't even see Lombard Street 'til just now.

I didn't actually have a clue where the pic was, but once I googled "yellow crosswalks", that narrowed it to California and then took a chance on your location and scoped around the Bay Area for a bit until I hit the match.

Would have been a lot easier if I had seen Lombard.

Fun game.

no takers? more than 1,000,000 people have passed through here over the past 80 or so years.

britrock88 · 04-28-2015, 11:38 AM

I keep thinking college or prison...

britrock88 · 04-28-2015, 11:41 AM

It does resemble the entrance to Yellowstone NP... not in shape but in the clustering of buildings, red roofs, layout sort of sense...

Closer

britrock88 · 04-28-2015, 12:53 PM

Yeah, I'd bet on it being a WPA-era grouping of federal government buildings. But I don't spot anything in the pic itself to give me a clue...

britrock88 · 04-28-2015, 12:55 PM

Although to others of you out there, this is definitely midwestern/prairie/high desert terrain. Bet you $1 this is in the Mountain Time Zone.

britrock88 · 04-28-2015, 12:56 PM

(I double-checked Carlsbad Caverns and Grand Canyon NPs, for instance, even though I didn't think it was either of those.)

But lose this bet

I found it, but I don't want to take over the game.

Yep, Philmont Scout Ranch near Cimarron, NM.
