No way Kogs!

I've been crawling up and down the FDR all morning.   :cmas24

Those buildings are positioned in a line almost perpendicular to the roadway.

Is the above picture Lyns getting in or out of the taxi? If it's getting in then they sure look happy meaning the cab driver either knows where to go, or there in the lead. :) Or both.

From Brooklyn via Tunnel or Brooklyn Bridge: Take the FDR Drive North.  Take exit number 7 (23rd Street).  Make a slight right, then turn left onto East 23rd St.  Turn right onto 1st Avenue, turn left onto East 25th St.and then turn left onto Lexington Ave. 

Must be when going to the News building which is on 42nd Street between Second and Third Avenue.

silence  :cmaslol

well I should start somewhere ..



"Say Your Deepest Prayers Ever" -- The final three Teams race to the Finish Line for their chance at the One Million Dollar Prize, on the finale of THE AMAZING RACE 10.

Detour clues
*Once they arrive, Teams battle it out in a tedious Detour that causes frustration and arguments to ensue.
 *Teams must do everything they can in order to maintain their composure and finish the task in order to receive their next clue.

:bar:
Clue: *The final three Teams depart Spain and travel to France, knowing that every decision they make is crucial in this final leg of the Race.

 Chateau d If ':
 " I also think Bama and R&K take a lead after finishing the tomato task.  This lead continues into the final leg because they are about one hour ahead of T&J at the Eiffel Tower.  The spoiler shots have them getting their packs at the base of the tower at a picture time about one hour earlier than T&J who are still at the 3rd level.  That sustained lead comes from Bamas and R&K catching a better flight to Paris.
"


 Boingo: " The "blue" train is most likely the TGV, PARIS-LYON-MONTPELLIER-BARCELONA.  Looks like they get to Paris via train. 

" we're going to Paris!"



:bar:
clue to find the Eiffel Tower?
Bama's

 :plane: I've tracked the Porter to the Corbas airfield near Lyon; the ECPL homepage is here. I think the second plane may be a match as well; compare the pink splotches with the preview cap. I haven't matched the aerodrome yet, but I've attached a kmz with the co-ordinates given by the ECPL website.

About trains:

Tyler and James are seen departing from a RER commuter train which runs from both CDG and ORY to the center of the city of Paris.  There is a stop at the Eiffel Tower.

Cabs in New York appear to be passing Stuyvesant Town housing project on the lower East Side of Manhattan.  Could be on the FDR drive.  Cabs from JFK most likely would be coming to Manhattan via the Long Island Exspressway and the Midtown Tunnel.

Shots of two yellow cabs look to be on the Henry Hudson Parkway leading north from Manhattan.  If the teams take cabs from Manhattan up to Hyde Park, I hope they have lots of cash since NYC cabs are some of the most expensive found and those meters click off dollars every tenth of a mile!!

Debate about Bama getting into either a New York or New Jersey cab at JFK should remember that there was a sighting of two African American females getting out of a Newark Cab at Rock center.  But this shot seems to be a New York Yellow Cab.  Cabs from Newark would be much different and easy to spot.

Here is a cool site for stuff Paris.  pages jaunes

Drop down and select Paris from the box that says Photos of cities.

That should make a new window.  Enter "4" in the number box and "Octave Greard" in the Rue box.

It will show you the image I put here plus a location on a map where it was taken.

Chateau:  I think your map is off.  The nearest RER stop for the Eiffel Tower is CHAMP DE MARS-TOUR EIFFEL which is at about the location of the green building at the corner of the race track which is part of the Stade Emile Anthoine To get to the Eiffel Tower you would not turn to the right on Avenue de Suffren, b ut would continue straight up Quai Brannly one block to the tower.

Thanks Gman.   I think you're right.  I even remember that it was closer as you say.  But I could not find it with GE.

But remember R&K are lost.  Or at least don't see where to go when they get out of the Metro stop.  So I think the rest of the red pathway is where they went.

Now that I can place the location and it has good shadows:

This shot was taken between 8:29 and 8:41 am (assumes June 23rd).
