So what do I do now?

Nicely done. I had an idea, but I don't think I was close enough to have made it this time.

You're now 'It'. Find a location, mark the co-ords, and take and post a picture.

If we can't figure it out in a few days or a week, give us more (partial) co-ordinates.

Rinse. Repeat.

OK, here's my pic for you to find:

The co-ords start with: N49 5_.___ W097 0_.___

OK go!

dani_carriere · Senior Member

Are you guys searching for this one? Maybe I'll give you more co-ords to work from...

The co-ords start with: N49 53.___ W097 07.___

Does this help?

It's usually a week or so from picture post to picture found. Even if there are a couple of immediate "I know where that is!" comments.

Disclaimer: This is another "I know where that is!" post from me. I seem to have alot of them. I guess I'm just extremely smart, that's all...
You should all have seen this statue before, as it's given in a cache name. (Sorry dani, I'm giving a hint! Don't shoot!)

TurdleEggs · Senior Member

You’d think someone so smart could figure out how to post an image

Maybe the maker of wagons only THINKS he knows where the statue is . . .

Ouch... that was low... I guess coming from such a MASTER PHOTOGRAPHER... hehehe

I'm having quite a fun time just watching for the pics and identifying them... One of these days I'll borrow a camera from someone and grab one of these pics...

TurdleEggs · Senior Member

Just messin’ with ya. Lizardo might have a camera he can sell you cheap

dani_carriere · Senior Member

Wayne are you sure you know where it is? There aren't any caches with the same name as this statue ... at least not in Canada ...

Lizardo · Senior Member

Alright, everyone settle down.

Wayne, I am so anxious to see you play this game that I am offering up my services as photographer. Or at the very least as a camera monkey.

Go find yourself a spiffy location you want to post a picture of, and we can visit it as well as Dani's "squatting bishop". If, in the travels we happen to visit another cache or two in the process, so much the better. It'll be like old times!

The gauntlet has been dropped.

Wagonmaker · Veteran Member

ALRIGHT! Let's see if I've got this. The pic is a little different, because this was as close as I could zoom in!

The coordinates for this picture are N 49° 53.359 W 097° 07.357. This statue is known as the Eye of the Man. Recognize the name?

Here's a little more context:

HERE IS THE NEXT GEOPIC: Perhaps a head-scratcher, but if you've paid attention in your travels, you may recognize it!

The coordinates are: N 49° _ _ . _ _ _ W 097° _ _ . _ _ _ ...

Good night, and good luck!

Lizardo · Senior Member

That was fast! I have no idea where that is. Hey TurdleEggs! You guys at hydro keep track of these things?

TurdleEggs · Senior Member

I'll check the database

Nice one WagonMaker. Hmmm ...

bevro · Veteran Member

I rushed back from Chicago to grab this one but can't get the picture to post. Its definitely TurdleEgg's pole, a 40' class 3 red pine with penta (CCA) treatment, 1998 vintage. If you let me know how to log the picture, Mr. T., I'll give you the coords and your plant records along with the rest of the framing details. (This may be a good thing to know if you end up as the district operator next week in Boissevein!

)

TurdleEggs · Senior Member

You know way too much! BTW, it’ll probably be Steinbach, not Boissevain

I’ll send you a PM with instructions how to post your pic.

bevro · Veteran Member

Too easy! This was actually in the Winnipeg Free Press last summer and the location posted. For those of you who may have forgotten;

N49 49.490 W097 07.164.

In telephonese, this is 98RielL1. Didn't have the MH route map so not sure what their location is. SE corner of Riel & Darwin, not too far from tonight's meeting at Big Guy's.

Let me unpack my bags now that I am back in town for a while and I'll try and find something to keep everyone busy.

PS. TurdleEggs, this is a revenue pole. Check your joint use agreements to make sure the two foreign attachments are included, otherwise you get to back charge the tennants for five years from date of identification!

TurdleEggs · Senior Member

Thanks for the information bevro - I'll forward it to the GIS and District staff to update their records.

Before any of you kiddies attempt this in your own back yard, the Spidy-pole was painted on the ground before it was set. There’s hot wires just above the spider web!

Wagonmaker · Veteran Member

bevro, you need to post another pic now to keep the game alive...

bevro · Veteran Member

Sorry for taking so long in posting the next picture but I haven't had a chance to park my 4 wheeled office lately and am just getting the 'pooter back from the shop (picked up some kind of nasty wormy thingy while down south). Have a bit of patience and I will get a pic up soon. I have to fire off to Regina tonight but will be back by the weekend.

bevro · Veteran Member

I'm sorry for taking so long in posting but I'm finally back in town with all the tools. This one shouldn't be too difficult:

N49 5_.___ W097 __.___

Good hunting.

PS. Mr. T, thanks for the assistance.

To keep this going, here is the next pic:

N 49 5?.???

W097 1?.???

This a little retention pond I used to walk by every day as a kid on my way to school.

Lizardo · Senior Member

This was the most difficult activity ever. Couldn't upload to my Shaw webserver from an MTS connection. Grrrr. Sorry it's a phone pic, but it's the best I can do!

Without the ability to see the phone screen, it's hard to know EXACTLY where to stand.

The coordinates I was at:

N49 53.641 W097 18.402

Next pic will be up tonight.....pending Candace and Will's acceptance of this location.

Edited to put in the right set of coordinates.

Reject it, reject it!

You'll notice how many of Lizardo's activities tend to be of the more difficult variety!

candaceandwill · Veteran Member

Correct! Good job! I thought it might take some one a bit longer, but apparently not.

Play on.

Lizardo · Senior Member

Alright. Here you go.

N 49.5_._ _ _ W 97.0_._ _ _

You can take your pic during the day if you happen to be scared of the dark.

Now if I can only figure out how to post the pic I took.

May noy be exact as the night shot.

It took a few tries but here they are.

Need some assistance with posting a pic? If you can e-mail them to me, I can host them for you.

Here's the new pic.
