In TAR 1 they didnt have to clear customs......but I do think it is combination of logistics and security. Helicopters are expensive....so how long do you think they ride them......30 minutes? More/less?

There are quite a bit of trees and rural areas between DC and NYC ;)

Well I certainly agree with that......and I look at the LA area as San Diego to Santa Barbara and over to San Bernadino......lots of trees and brush there too.

I agree to disagree, and will leave it at that :lol: :badhorse:

LA is a huge, urbanized area with plenty of traffic to delay a team unfairly. (It's a great place to start a leg, since there are no tasks except getting to the airport.) Theoretically, they would rent the helicopters to get the teams on an even playing field instead of relying on taxi and traffic luck, and to get them out of the metropolis itself for a wider array of tasks (like the zipline fun and woodsy detours in TAR 13). Even though I've never been nor lived in SoCal, I'd think it would be logistically difficult to get a proper race course set up in the LA urban area because it's so spread out. Other seasons seemed to have a more concentrated course for the final tasks.
We've never had them finish in the LA area, either.

I'm thinking out of the box... Where could they have gone from LA? I like the helicopter idea. Bus? Car with GPS? :lol:
From LA, the teams could have gone anywhere. Perhaps to the High Desert area such as Lancaster, (Edwards AFB.) A private area near the ocean for example some famous person's estate. (Barbra Streisand's Malibu estate?) I can't think of much near Palm Springs. Open to suggestions though. How about south to San Clemente?
DrRox:
Well, unless we get a clue, it is just impossible to guess where they went.

I know. So frustrating. (:;)
(not to mention my detective skills are not finely honed as to where to hunt.)
