Rob , interesting.. this just came in my Google Amazing Race news ;) could be why there are so many sightings of TAR in Canada ??
Canadian Outback Adventures offers corporate experiential learning programs based on popular programs such as CSI, Amazing Race and Survivor.
Canadian Outback’s Amazing Race
Canadian Outback's Amazing Race is a teambuilding event combining communication skills, planning, strategy, teamwork, and a race against the clock. Groups are split into two teams (reds vs. yellows) and again into mini-teams whose goal it is to work together to complete the race in as little time as possible. Racers are set out on a course filled with interesting route markers that provide additional route information, road blocks that outline a specific task that someone on each team must complete before moving on, and detours that run throughout the area. Amazing Race is the perfect answer for adventure-seeking enthusiasts.

I've been waiting for weeks to post this! When Survivor announced they would be shooting the next season near Tikal, there was a lot of chatter on the Belize chat boards due to the proximity/affinity... A friend/travel arranger I know in Belize (who was formerly involved in TV production in NYC) commented "they will be here in July." I shot off a personal email to her asking if she was working on Survivor Guatemala. She replied that she couldnt go into detail because she had signed a confidentiality agreement, but that no, she was working on "the other one."
Unless she's talking about Road Rules, I figure TAR 8 has to be cruising through Belize at some point this month.
oh, and re: the Disney spoiler... somehow I doubt CBS would be promoting ABC's parent company

Oooh! Spoiler!
Don't know if anybody cares, but I just got word from a friend of mine doing field work in Panama that he was accosted by several Americans in white vans, cameras in tow, looking for the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute's boat dock. Evidently, CBS invaded Panama with a vengeance. Also, the person asked him if he spoke English, IN FRENCH, which I find VERY amusing.

If these dates are correct, then something is rottin in Denmark since report from NASA space center has TEN teams participating. If ELEVEN started and we have stops in New York, Washington Crossing, Washington DC and Charleston SC more than ONE teams should have been eliminated by now. So something just doesn't jell.

OMG Hello GMan {| !! I've been so lonely talking to myself ..good to hear from you ]**]
Chateau d If:
Hi Puddin, don't feel bad. I've been lurking around. It's good that you have kept the embers burning.
Hi GMan, I think the team count is okay. Because I was unable to find a way to fit a pitstop into the South Carolina location due to Phils flight out of Dulles.
Take a look (reproduced from Sucks):
TARF Timeline (version 2)
Thursday July 7, Leg 1. <Race begins at the Bethesda Fountain in Central Park,> Eleven teams get supplies from EMS in SoHo and drive their Suburbans to Washington Crossing State Park in New Jersey. <From there they are then sent to Washington DC, held up by hours of operation at the Washington monument.>
Friday July 8, <Teams enter the monument and find> clues directing them to the Korean War Memorial, this is kind of a guess based on the one team being seen going toward it. <From there teams are directed to the Watergate Hotel where they must enter through an open window to find their next clue. From there they are told to go to Mt. Vernon. There teams encounter an hours of operation sign and must wait until the next morning.>
Saturday July 9, <When the location opens teams must complete the task of preparing 20 mint juleps. Teams check in between 10 am and 12 noon> with the orange family (mom, dad, & 2 girls) eliminated, this is a tiny speculation based on the report that this was the team that was seen on the mall and that park rangers had seen teams all morning before that and that the person who spotted them said they stayed around for a while and saw no more teams. <Leg 2 starts with teams leaving Mt Vernon at 10 pm with instructions to drive to Kitty Hawk NC (takes 5 hours).> Phil and some members of production take an evening flight on United from Washington Dulles to <Atlanta (UA flight 5279 leaving at 9:50 pm. Atlanta is not far from Huntsville, AL).>
Sunday July 10, <Teams arrive in Kitty Hawk between 3 am and 6 am. There they must build and fly kites shaped like the Wright Brother’s Flyer. Next they have to drive 7 hours to Charleston SC (arriving 11 am to 2 pm) complete the task of harvesting 20 pounds of tobacco leaves. Teams completing the task first get to have earlier bus tickets. Teams leave Charleston on two buses leaving at 3 pm and 6 pm for a 9 hour> bus ride to Huntsville Alabama from South Carolina.
Monday July 11, Teams arrive at the Visitors Bureau in the early am where they pick up Yukon SUVs (this is a small guess since they could have picked up the SUV's someplace before this) and drive them to the US Space & Rocket Center. They have to wait for the center to open at 9 am. Inside they must complete several tasks. Teams check in after midnight. The hours of operation is my guess and so are the check in times, but we do know they leave next day in the afternoon <The generation gap team (grandparents and grandchildren) are eliminated.>
Tuesday July 12, Leg 3 starts with teams leaving the Space Center in the afternoon and head to Talladega to find the <speedway. >
Cautionary Note: If it’s not bolded then it’s pure speculation, and that can be kind of goofy. The pure speculations are bracketed by < and >.
Also, I can’t fit in the Norfolk Airport advanced notice spoiler for Tuesday (reported on last Monday).
