Hey, I don’t see why a Lizard couldn’t participate in this game as well!

Oh oh - I made the page flip! Now you're all going to curse me every time you have to go back to look at the picture

Whaddaya mean? I AM playing. I just haven't got a clue where this picture is. It's probably in grnbrgs back yard.

Me neither - I was hoping you’d put me out of my misery! I checked a couple of theories but they didn’t pan out. Grnbrg’s updated coordinates narrowed it down to most of Winnipeg

Heh heh. Well, one person claims to know where it is... :grin:

N49.88 _ _ _°, W97.12 _ _ _°

Maybe that will help.... It'll give you something to do for the weekend, anyway.

One of my co-workers thought this represented a prophesy:

“When the phone rings you'll drink the funny stuff, but peeing during lightening increases your chances of being killed".

I know exactly where it is, I just haven't got a digital camera! Who wants to be given a hint?

It's not difficult! You're geocachers and you haven't even discovered this area yet? Hah, I'm just teasing...

If I can get my hands on a camera, or if someone wants to come with me to take the picture for me, I'll show you where it is!

Well, I thought this was better known than it is...

N49.889 _ _°, W97.128 _ _°

That pretty much gives it way...

Very clever photo Mr. Brg!

I walked right by it twice. The information desk helped; I'd only described two elements from the picture and he new what I was talking about!

Pfff. Is that the best you can do?

The hard part will be deciding where to stand to get the angle right, as that's a pretty tight zoom.

Go get it! I figure there're two correct answers.

I know where this is as well but just never seem to get down there any more. if I'm in the area and have my camera, I'll see if I can snag a pic. MHz

49° 52.916', 97° 7.775'

Although now that I get back and can compare pix, it might be 10m or so south... :)

Well the signal bounce was SIGNIFICANT, so I had to try to clean it up in Google. But Here is the best I can do:

49.89420 -97.14555

49 53.652 097 08.733

I took this picture from the brick wall, but in looking at your picture on a larger screen, it seems you may have been standing on the sidewalk. You are SUCH a pedestrian!
