Are there caps with better definition? If it is on the other side, then the camera is pointing SW (I think). I've only found one other photo looking the other way (here, pointing NW). The village of Ayjah is a bedroom community for dhow builders (Indians from Kerala), who take the ferryboats to work every day; you can see the northern end of the dhow yards (and the parking lot) in the pg. 6 photo I mentioned. What the racers would be doing in Ayjah is anybody's guess.

You can use Barry's bald head too but it is not as spherical and so it gets a different shadow near the top

At least Barry is usefull for something

I wonder where all their backpacks are ?

Chateau d If · « **Reply #102 on:** April 16, 2006, 05:28:56 PM »

I've got this but I don't find any match.

Kogs · « **Reply #103 on:** April 16, 2006, 05:40:38 PM »

puddin, there backpacks are prob with the crew or in cars because they cant leave them around anywhere due to the obvious

Chateau d If · « **Reply #104 on:** April 16, 2006, 06:54:14 PM »

Can you see the one called "4 teams" ?

Puddin, I just noticed that my snagit's files are called "png". Does that work for everyone?

Slowhatch · « **Reply #105 on:** April 16, 2006, 06:56:04 PM »

No problems viewing the png.

puddin · « **Reply #106 on:** April 16, 2006, 07:07:50 PM »

Chateau under profiles
file the (... drop down ) JPG-JPEG image apply

I could see the image .. it looks great !

a few more
Eric is riding in the back of a truck ,prob with camels

RAY ? or JO ? then zooms down to the camel

one more

Slowhatch · « **Reply #107 on:** April 16, 2006, 07:19:37 PM »

I think it may be one of the Ayjah towers, I'm guessing the northern one. Could the camels be there too? Sur is known for its tuna fish rather than its camels, but you never know.

the video pans from who I'm sure is Ray /Monica down the hill to the camel , this must be where the camel task starts
back to looking for those #@#@$ Ayjah/Sur towers/forts ...darn

actually I think your match is good enough Slowhatch :clap: or should I say perfect

even the pole with wires matches up!

I'm pretty sure thats the same building too ( last picture )

no audio

Chateau d If · « **Reply #111 on:** April 16, 2006, 07:52:37 PM »

I was going to ask which one but it doesn't matter because they all have the same orientation. I will be able to get a time from the shadow on a cylinder. But can't do it right now.

Boingo · « **Reply #112 on:** April 16, 2006, 07:54:00 PM »

Just throwing this out there. Check out thumbnail 102-0298_IMG.JPG on this page. I find the background interesting, after seeing Chateau's water taxi posting on previous page.

I'd post it myself but the author says the pix are copyrighted

Pbase has some great pictures. This one looks like it was taken from the second tower (somebody's got to look after Puddin in jail

). Could the digging be around there also? Except for the drive in, do we have indicators for anything outside of Sur?

puddin · « **Reply #116 on:** April 16, 2006, 08:27:42 PM »

The odds are good they won't track us down Boingo :bny3:

now if only we could make that darn Navy pop-up disappear

oh ROBbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb !
Teams do some mindless task on Rion Bridge which sends them to Athens ? to catch a flight to ?
Where do they fly into ?
so teams bunched , taxied to Ayjah ,run up to the fort , get the clue which then leads them to the detours to be done / Transport camels to the Bedouin in the desert and whatever the other is .
After they deliver the camels they get the clue that sends them though the Wadi's ( where do they pick their gear back? do TPTB magically put them in the jeeps they drive through the Wadi's ?) that leads them to the Roadblock .
Perhaps the pitstop is Muscat .

I bet the other detour is easy and Fran & Barry get lucky, I really can't help but to notice how many untouched mounds of sand are in Barry's picture where as the Hippies look all dug up , even they say so .

Y'all got this already, right?

The Wahiba Sands,

The spectacular dunes that lie in the center of Oman stretching over 180 kms from North to South. Their colour ranges from deep red to rich honey depending on the time of the day. A unique and fragile environment, these dunes are static unlike those of the Empty Quarter which march forward as the wind drives them.

Slowhatch · « **Reply #120 on:** April 17, 2006, 12:16:41 AM »

It might be the dig task. Or it might tie in to the camels; get the clue inside the watchtower, load the camel at Ayjah and deliver it to bedouins in Wahabi.

Chateau d If · « **Reply #121 on:** April 17, 2006, 12:23:29 AM »

This promo shot was given to us inverted: (here it is flipped proper)

Chateau d If · « **Reply #122 on:** April 17, 2006, 12:33:52 AM »

This shot was taken between 11:25 am and 11:42 am (assumes November 19th)

Just guessing that it is the 19th and not the 18th here, no biggy.

Here are the flights from Athens to Muscat on Nov 18th. Is this the right date since Phil's call from the middle east was on the 21st? Flights connect in Manama, Bahrain. Looks like a major bunching. As for the lonely duo passing time, I suspect it's E/J since they'll have many hours sitting at the airport.

Depart     Arrive     Carrier/Flight     Stop/Connex     Trip Time
3:15pm     11:15pm     GF 0042 / 5656*      BAH 1:35 hrs.     7:00 hrs.
3:15pm     11:15pm     GF 0042 / WY 0656     BAH 1:35 hrs.     7:00 hrs.
3:15pm     11:20pm     GF 0042 / 0270     BAH 1:40 hrs.     7:05 hrs.

:ride: It's all coming together , you guys & gals rule !
Sups , goog idea about E&J being the duo , we've seen their airport antics before with the wheelchair racing and all
