I loved the idea they were full of stuff for a memory challenge, and The Tonga room seems like a nice private place for that. Darn....
So...we think they GET them at the Tonga Room...so we need to know where they are going with them....Where is the Great American Music Hall in relationship to all this?? They were seen near there...
Thanks slowhatch! :jumpy:

A hair over a mile away, Peach. It's possible they hoofed the trunks from Tonga to there.
ETA: And the teams we see (D/J, B/C) are taking different routes, but both are headed in the direction of the GAMH.

This had me confused at first until I looked at a map. You're right, Dan/Jordan and Brent/Caite are both taking possible routes to the Great American Music Hall. Since it's southwest of the Tonga Room, you can either head south then west or head west and then south.
Dan and Jordan (west then south) are taking a much better route though. It's pretty much downhill the whole way and it's not particularly busy. Easy walking. Brent and Caite are headed south into the Union Square area. It's much busier with many pedestrians going to stores and shops and tall office buildings. I worked in that area for a year and the sidewalks are always full of people (though the fact that it was a weekend (Sunday?) should lessen the difficulties. Then, once Brent and Caite turn and head west, the neighborhood gets a bit seedy before too many blocks. It's not particularly dangerous, but it could be a bit unnerving at times. There is drug trafficking and prostitution in that general area - more to the south of there though. During the middle of the day I wouldn't expect any problem though. Also the route west along O'Farrell street is uphill all the way. It's not particularly steep, but it is uphill. I'd expect Dan/Jordan's route to be a few minutes faster.

Take it to a more relevant thread, please. :tup:
spolarium:
t is possible for a team to U-Turn a team that has already passed (or skipped by means of a Fast Forward) the U-Turn, nullifying its effects

Nope. You can't do that. If you do, it fails.

Thanks for the welcome messages :)
I revised my post and I must say I got things wrong. According to everything said in the topic so far, the order is:
SFO -> Coit Tower -> Letterman Digital Arts Center -> Tonga Room -> Great American Music Hall -> Candlestick Park.
It seems the last task will be held in the GAMH (or in the next route marker). It would be nice to have music involved :D
The only place I see that could have hosted the "line cutting" issue is the Coit Tower. I doubt something like this would happen in the airport, specially because they don't shoot anything in customs/private areas. Why would they mention on a promo and not be able to air it?...maybe I got it wrong, again... :P
