Here is E&J's checkin time in Greece when they were proving to Phil that they solved the puzzle.

10:07 (?)

Good catch on the watch and time. BUT The Beach Boys have forgot to set their clock AHEAD ONE HOUR when they left Rome for Athens. Athens is one time zone ahead of Central European Time (Rome). This makes it 11:07 local time which jibes with my estimate of their arrival time. To wit: Ancient Agora opens at 8:00AM; they smash plates and find FF at 8:30AM. Get in car and drive approximate 141 miles to Rion Fortress (near Patra) which should take about two and a half hours. Thus I estimated that they would have arrived at 11:00AM.

Maybe it's another Herculean task.
I'm thinking maybe the old guy (sitting in a boat? standing on the shoreline?) is Sur as well, but I haven't found any matching markers; I see things that look like bridge supports, but no bridge.

Didn't we see this guy before leading one of he cars through the flooded wadi? And here he gives them thumbs up when they are successfully through the flood.

OK, we have three teams here. But where? Looks like they are getting off a small boat of some sort; so is it some kind of bunch point with teams having to take some kind of ferry?

BJ & Tyler are in that clip too.

Also, E&J left the FF at 8:20 am according to the clock on the wall.

between Muscat and Sur

There are 2 roads between Muscat and Sur, those at the coast and in the interior. One can combine it thus ideally to a round trip. The coastal road was at the beginning of of 2005 however still only for 4x4 passably. A new road was however in the building. The highlight here is the Wadi Shab, s.Bild right. On the other road one can regard the Wadi Bani Khalid and several villages around Ibra.

Google Earth is not clear puddin so we don't know exactly where they are in Google Earth

the satellite company charges too much to give us more details. Something like $200+

Into the desert - Wahiba Sands

^ thanks banzai ..I like Slowhatchs idea of the trek from Sur to Muscat or vice versa .

It's hard to get a time for that shot w/o a better fix on the location. I can kind of find it in Google Earth but the shore is curved and so I can't fix the orientation of those benches. Based on Solar altitude I get 39 degrees. I may be able to get a wide time window from that.

Okay, I'm getting 9:00 am plus or minus 20 min or 12:45 pm plus or minus 20 min. My choice between the two is for the 12:45 because the earlier time would have a Solar azimuth that is to far east to make those shadow off the benches.

Just some Oman "odds and ends".

Funny Wadi sign - No beer, No music, No swimming! Have a Nice Day?

McD in Muscat - "You want goat with that?"

KFC in Oman - "Original or extra crispy?"

Burger King in Muscat - "Mutton Whopper?

Bedu Musicians

In and around Muscat

Pizza Muscat - What! pizza without beer?

I cant look anymore tonight

Sur is 350 km from Muscat by the inland road and 150 km by the graded coastal road. The local language is Arabic but the business language is English and widely spoken by Omani's and shopkeepers. The religion is Muslim. sur oman Wadis. Beware rain, flash floods can start high in the mountains far away, be careful of camping in wadi bottoms if in doubt. Don’t try and cross a flooded wadi until others have done so first, the water usually soon subsides. When driving through water in the wadi bottom, stick to visible tracks, if in doubt wade through first

**Sur. A couple of forts, some excellent beaches and an interesting dhow [traditional sailing ship] building yard. 3 or 4 hours from Muscat.

I don't know if it will help, but I'll make an estimate about the benches. Working with the photos Puddin has provided, I think the benches are facing nearly due east. In fact, I think you can see them in one of the photos (arrow; you can see it better in the larger image on pg. 6).

banzai · « **Reply #94 on:** April 16, 2006, 11:04:55 AM »

thanks slowhatch, I was wondering where're the forts.

I am thinking that this shot gets taken on the opposite side of the body of water in the Ray & Yolanda bench jumping shot. Maybe Ray & Yolanda run to a boat before the other four teams and make their crossing solo. The time of this shot is about the same just by looking at the limb shadow on Monica's left breast. You can use Barry's bald head too but it is not as spherical and so it gets a different shadow near the top.
