Additonal Info:
To access the top of Gemini Bridges you must use highway 313.

When you arrive at your destination, you must park your car in the marked parking lot.

Once you have parked, empty all your pockets, leave your bags in your car and leave your doors UNLOCKED and the keys in the driver's seat.

Take one of the provided shuttles to the top of Gemini Bridges

Here is a map that shows highway 313.  It does not show up as that on Google Maps

Here is a list of ideas (mostly loony)

Who are the racers seen on top of Elephant Butte?
Does the shot of Linzen at Lake Powell dock match the one where they went by mistake at the end of the last leg?
Map with Ford's Point, Elephant Butte.
Google route maps: Page to Ford's point, Ford's Point to Gemini Bridge, Gemini Bridge to Green River State Park, Greene River State Park to Bart's place, Bart's
Do we have instances of teams at the same place in the same shot?
I haven't looked carefully but are there any promo shots at Gemini that have shadows (on first checking I was not finding any)

I could start with what the Linzes are wearing .

Linz leaving the Lake Powell pitstop , Alex Blue shirt / Megan Grey tanktop Black Capris

 
Bone in his Green Tshirt , Nick in black tank ,Alex in blue shirt ,Megan in Greyish tanktop



Alex & Nick



This very well could be the Linz boys ? I see a dark top & Blue top ,Light colored shorts .I see the cluebox now Slowhatch   :<(

 



Nick driving past the Weavers



Bone in Green T-shirt Megan in Grey tanktop , lunch ?,as they pass the Weasels



Megan tanktop / Nick Green T-shirt watching  


Megan pink T-Shirt / Alex Dark tanktop / Bone  long sleeve white shirt.  MATCHES THE CONFESSIONALChateau !!

Now this is the one that GMan brought up

First we are shown supposedly the Bransens with Camper in tow " Utah here we come"


Two campers approaching each other in opposite lanes, now to be the White vehicle has a Larger camper ?? Slowed down they don't look the same . Could be just a passing Camper ?



then we see the Linz in this shot passing the Weavers , the Weavers have a white GMC


Linz have the Black GMC?



Rolly has on his famous red shorts


More than 2 peeps . First pic I see a lavendar shirt ,could be a God-sis? Second one I can make out a white top Red shorts . The Weavers ? Could be . Its just to far away to be sure .


This one I see a yellow shirt


This is a Godlewski sis. " theres the cluebox!"

Puddin, in these pics I see 1. Purple shirt/black shorts = Michelle Godlewski; 2. Yellow shirt = Sharon Godlewski (gemini bridges); 3. White shirt/red shorts = Rolly Weaver (biking) --- (I had to go look up their first names)

So if the Godlewskis and Weavers are together did the Linzes make it there 20 min ahead of them or did they slip behind?

This shot of the side mirror and the window trim looks like the Linz vehicle is indeed black.

Hey Puddin, good to see it all together like this.  {| It will eliminate having to go back and forth to look.
Can you add Chateau's time estimates for those he's identified next to the pics?

It's okay.  That promted me to buy a better one.

And using it...

This shot of the Linzes starting out was taken at the same dock that they went to by mistake at the end of the last leg.  So they should be using the same SUVs too.

It is located at theend of the long paved strip.  The dock was built after the satellite image was taken.

This shot was taken between 7:12 and 8:03 am (Arizona time, add an hour for Utah time)

Two times the instructions say for the team members "to empty your pockets" before starting a task. I wonder why? We had to do that any time we headed out on patrol during my army days - just in case you weren't coming back.

Here is a visual on John Ford's Point.

It is 3/4 mile from Elephant Butte.

This chopper shot is the one with four racers getting out.  So that means two teams.  On eis Weasels thanks to Rolly's red shorts.  There is another chopper shot that has just two Linz getting off.  This means that either the Linzes went slow and so the G's got on board with the Weasels.  Or, that the G's went slow and the Linzes got the first chopper and the Weasels arrived while the G's were waiting.

I keep going back to these two pictures, trying to figure out why they are being shot in two different locations. 

In this first shot, it looks as though Megan is trying to put on a smile.  Bro sitting does not look happy.  Are they watching another team do their jump?   :mad:




And then here, they have walked up the steps (in previous picture) to cheer on and laugh at their brother while he does his jump.  (I don't have the patience to go find their names.)




Chateau, is there any way to tell the time difference in the two pics or is the time too close to one another?

I used the second one for the time.  My take on the two shots is the sitting shot is when the three non RBers are waiting the for Nick to get his 40 min security lecture.  I may be able to get a time for the sitting shot.

Working...

This is all I have to go by.

It looks like about 5 or 10 min earlier than the other.  I'm getting 12:10 pm.

Will this one work for when he does the jump?  It is a different post, but just up to the top of the steps and across the platform there.  I suppose you are right about waiting for the 40 minute briefing.  I just thought it looked like they were watching someone else jump. It could have easily been one of the pros.

Yes.  This is the one I used for the jump.  From the satellite view you can see that these railings (you can't see the railings but you know they are mounted on the edge of things you can see) are parallel.  But the shadow on the one with jump happening seems to angle in just a little.  I put a time est for the sitting shot on the previous post.

This shot was taken before 1:00 pm (Utah time)

See that the eastern face of the bridge is illuminated.  The bridges run along an azimuth of 162 degrees.  Once the sun passes that azimuth the eastern face goes dark.  As it seems to be for the Bransens.

Here's the Gemini Bridges, as best as I can recognize it.(Is there any way to attach a kmz--google earth placemark file--to a message? it would save some time) Once you find it, there's a puzzle waiting: find the jetliner (or jetliner image) sitting on the ground 3/4 miles away.

Thanx Chateau!!!   I guess that didn't solve what I was thinking...sorry for the trouble.... :sad:


Now to decipher what Slowhatch is talking about.  A jetliner in the google satellite photo??  Or in the screencap???

I must be slow this weekend, need more java!  :nods:
