I copied this over from the TAR 17 speculation thread though I'm not sure it qualifies as a real live sighting. Peach, move it if you think it needs to be elsewhere.
I found this intriguing little message on Suite101.com from last July at http://www.suite101.com/content/amazing-race-17-gets-started-in-gloucester-boston-massachusetts-a241709.
does any one know if TAR 18 is filming?
I saw some people running in Santa Barbara Califonia and clearly saw one gilr holding the TAR clue.
then I follow them to a alice keck park in Santa Barbara and there was huge bolling pins and so I'm just wondering
Unfortunately, the person is listed as "guest" so we won't be able to follow up on it. Steven Fife at the Suite101.com web site politely said it was probably a local race. He is quite possibly right since July is not when TAR 17 (or 18) was run, however if the guest was mentioning something that was seen a month earlier in June, then this report gets much more interesting. Given that 5 of the last 6 participants are "gilrs" that is in the report's favor.
Here are a couple of links to Alice Keck park:
http://www.santabarbara.com/activities/parks/alicekeck/
http://www.rth.org/sb/
It does look like a place that could be used for a detour/roadblock. Lots of trees and trails for a small city block sized park that might briefly make it hard to find the detour/roadblock. Huge bowling pins might be unlikely for a local TAR knock off race. You can reserve the park of events/weddings at http://www.santabarbaraca.gov/eRecreation/Facilities/FacilitiesDetail.asp?FacilityId=16. It has a calendar but doesn't allow you to go back into the past.
I'd rate this as a low probability of being the real TAR, but thus far, it's the only possible indication of the finish line location I've seen.

By fudging around with the URL I was able to look at bookings for Alice Keck park back in June.
The park was available on June 15 - but was booked on June 16th from 2pm to 5:30pm - which may be a day too late. But strangely - that's the only day the park was officially booked in all of June and July.
Could we be off by a day?

I would think that if it was a local race it would have been reserved. Since the comment was made in July can you find out if it was reserved then? I still find it a little odd that she would mention something that happened on June 15 on July 23rd. However it is definitely possible considering the context.

If previous winners had confessionals taken after the Race revealed before the final leg was shown, then there's a good chance Nat & Kat are the winners! I sure hope so! :yess:
Incidentally Levi, although Nat's face doesn't seem to be that of a winner, that doesn't necessarily mean she & Kat lost. They could be talking about something else and Nat is frowning in recollection of it.

It is not uncommon for winners and non-winners to have confessionals from the Finale shown along the way. I can think of many. So that is no way indicative of anything.
The thing here is to see if we can conclusively find this location...so start looking guys!

Thuja (arborvitae) is everywhere, but the paving looks unusual; if we can put the two together it will be a match.
