LA area STARTing Line Challenge!!

(1/3) > >>

georgiapeach:
Looks as though TPTB will never give up the ease and convenience of an LA area start.
 
I did quite like the Bridlewood Winery location in TAR 20. It also gave the teams the furthest self driving first leg we have had so far (right??)--just under three hours.
 
SO if we can now expect starts within 3 hours of LAX...let's find some other wonderful new spots!
 
Rules:
 
Scenic. Private. Epic (:lol:)
 
Must be within three hours driving time to LAX as per Google Maps driving directions.
 
Must be a NEW (not previously used) location.
 
Must be feasible...ie able to be rented/hired/closed as needed.
 
Brief description of the site and why it would make a good start line.
 
A picture and/or a map and a link to the site's website would be a wonderful addition!
 
And a special award if your pick is actually used for TAR 21!!  :wohoo:

choroneko:
I have a strong feeling TAR 21's starting line will be in the East Coast. Northeast to be exact.  :lol:
Somewhere in the New England region, and they'll drive to Logan International Airport in Boston.

georgiapeach:
They already did that, lol.

I would like this thread to focus on locations near LA though, if anyone has any ideas??

Yeah, I know in TAR 17. I'm just hoping it would be other than LA this time.

If they ever listened to me and finally decided to start in Detroit, :lol: I have something interesting I found.

This is Meadowbrook Mansion, a beautiful Victorian Tudor style home with sprawling grounds. It has private entrances, and is completely closed off by some woods from the nearby Oakland University.

http://www.meadowbrookhall.org/

It is in the suburbs of Detroit, and is perfect for a starting line.

When looking up something for a future race of mine (planning), I noticed that on the calendar it says they are closed on Friday, June 8th for no apparent reason. They are usually only closed on Holidays. Maybe a wedding, and probably a long shot, but I think it's kind of worth looking into.

I have been there twice, and it's absolutely lovely.

P.S. Detroit has quite a few flghts to Europe and Asia, along with a unique direct flight to Amman, Jordan.
