Blast from the Past! Previous Season Timeline Questions....
Chateau d If:
I missed that 12:50 am tag! :groan:
And to get my 71 mile estimate I had to side step Google Maps (because it looked like it was going a longer-than-needed way) and make my own path. I'm just wondering why they made them wait an extra hour. Too bad we didn't do this before TARcon. We could have asked Teri & Ian.
Good point on the rain in Innsbruck etc. What you have there makes a lot more sense than what I was working with. :tup:

CHATEAU, have you actually been to that part of Germany? I have. To assume that there are autobahn is not valid. There aren't any in that part of Bavaria. It's all country, like you might find in Vermont. Maximum speed limits(yes, they they have them in Germany) are 100 kph(62 mph) on open roads and 50 kph(31 mph) in towns, so average speed before route confirmation would be maybe 75 kph(46 mph). They had a low probability of getting to Frederichshaven in 91 minutes, with the necessity of confirming their route along the way since there is no single road to take.

In my haste I forgot to thank slowhatch as well, whose efforts are also greatly appreciated. That's exactly the kind of info about the Zurich statue I was hoping we could find. Any recollection, serendipity, of that info? There's a word for such lucky coincidences, I just wish I could remember what it was. ;) ETA: And thanks to you too, apskip -- sorry, didn't mean to leave anybody out!

Yeah, I remember thinking that Google or Mapquest was giving me a funky route, but I think I tried asking for "shortest route" and the estimated time was actually a bit longer -- I guess due to smaller/slower roads. And no worries on your other speculation -- it's always good to have you out there pushing the envelope.

We still can -- they both post on TWoP from time to time, and have been very nice about answering my questions. (Ian in particular provided some nice details about an edited-out helicopter flight in Hawaii.) Unfortunately, a one-hour change is a detail they might well have forgotten considering it's now nearly 5 years since filming.
strategery:
Whoops -- that Weather Underground page, which I thought was giving me the scoop on nearby Kempten, is actually for Altenstadt, which is much much farther away from Fussen. I guess Kempten didn't have info that far back so it just redirected me. So . . . so much for that nailing down things regarding Andre/Damon's arrival. But I'm still sticking with the arrival dates based on the Innsbruck weather.
Chateau d If:
How does the rest of the TAR3 fabric hold together? If we are off by a day in one place it usually starts to make wrinkles in the timeline down the road.
On the rain, I saw that Zach was wearing his yellow rain jacket at the table during the ESM shots shown in the next leg. Also, there are water drops on their cars' windows as they start leg (looking for the farm).
Thanks Apskip about the autobahn stuff. I have never driven in Germany :( I've been in and out of Munich but that was in trains and planes. It was also late August and it was also raining! :lol: That's why I flew back to Berlin.
