No, I don't. However, they are only showing about 4 holes of 18 in the video but you can't conclude that it isn't the site of part of the preview.

Kudos to apskip, he was firm in believing that End City would be Alaska :tup:

APSKIP has indeed believed that leg 11 would have the finish line in Alaska, but I would never have associated it with a city by that name since there is no city by that name. The biggest action in this leg is in the Girdwood area, but I am convinced that the finish line is in the CITY OF ANCHORAGE, which has a mere 1, 697 square miles, making it the city of third largest land area in the United States(also the thrd largest in Alaska since the top two are Sitka and Juneau). If you have ever been to these three(I have had the pleasure), you will know that Sitka is on an island and occupies all of it, Juneau has the massive Mendenhall Glacier within its city limits, and Anchorage has an international airport in the city limits plus an unusual amount of open space for a 250,000 population city - the size of Newark NJ).

Absolutely right. Alaska would have been a logical place to go from Japan or Taiwan, but we knew it with no uncertainty as a result of your information, COLBY. It was invaluable, particularly coming so early in the race. Even if you didn't believe that the finish line was in Alaska, you made a huge contribution. Thanks!

and anon1akacolby I think puddin meant that apskip was 100% sure that they wont fly anywhere else AFTER alaska while others thought they'd go to alaksa, do tasks, and then go somewhere else.

APKIP was not 100% sure, but when in any doubt use logic. I explained my logic numerous times, so you all should know why I felt the race could not go beyond the Anchorage area(basically there was no time to do so if you made certain assumptions which I felt were appropriate given the "21 days" statement of van Munster).
