New picture.

I remember when they built this guy, my wife and I were always wondering why he was giving us the finger while we drove by.

Whoever finds this pic, could you visit the cache nearby to see if you can find it? I couldn't.

Edited to add the coordinates:

ALRIGHT!! Here is the replica of that shot:

Coordinates: N 49° 52.174 W 097° 05.590

The new Geopic will be posted hopefully Monday. Sorry for the delay; I know exactly what picture to take, but I probably won't be able to get out there until Monday.

OK, so my idea was foiled! I was going to take a picture of a side-by-side house where the two owners clearly disagreed on the colour their house should be and painted one side bright fuschia/magenta and the other side olive green.
Apparently, in the last month, olive green said, "Hey, maybe we ARE being tacky!" and painted their half to a neutral colour.

So, now I have to think of something else! Sorry for the delay everyone!

Do I only have a week to do this? Yikes! I'd better find something!... I didn't realize how long it had been!

Wagonmaker · Veteran Member

ALRIGHT! Although this may not be a very funny pic, like the one I had planned, it will have to do. I have other ideas but this one had to come quickly!

As an added challenge, there are questions to go with this picture that must be answered!
a) What is the name of the street you are standing on?
b) Somewhere along its length, this street changes names. What is the other name?

Coordinates: N 49° 5_.___ W 097° __.___

Happy searching!

Having a hard time?
Alright, here's some more info on the coords:
N 49° 57.___ W 097° 1_.___

OK, I'll try this again (hint: you have to hit submit after preview if you actually want your entry saved ... well, d'uh!)

The street I was standing on was Adsum Dr ... not sure about the second question I need to answer. Adsum only ever has one name. However, in the distance is Keewatin St, which changes names to Notre Dame Ave ... but Notre Dame turns into Fort St eventually. So I don't know if I got that right or not.

The coords are N49 57.287 W097 11.448

Here's the obligatory pic:

I've also taken a pic from Keewatin St. looking back at where I was standing.

So ... do I get to post the next pic?

Wagonmaker · Veteran Member

Yes, you may post the next pic. I only wanted to see if anyone would catch the name change.
However, given that you were standing on Keewatin, you were standing right AT the name change, so you should have gotten it

Anyways, next pic!

OK, then that would be Old Commonwealth Path

Here's the next pic:

Got this one on my way to the Bridging the Gumbo cache. Sorry it's so dark I did my best to lighten it up. No phantom UFO's in this pic though.

Here are the coordinates 49 53.989 097 08.095

Next pic will be up tomorrow.
