TAR8 Location /Speculation
Slowhatch:
I'd like to put some stuff out there for everyone's opinion about what is probably the first stop. Here's the quote that Puddin linked to:
--- Quote ---3 families driving down Broadway and stopping outside a place called Eastern Mountain Sports (EMS) in Soho, 3 blocks from where he lives. The only other business there is a bank, so he doesn't think they were headed to the bank. There was a cop there who didn't seem to have a problem with them parking on the street.
--- End quote ---
In addition to EMS and Kenneth Cole (the photo of the Blacks rushing across Broadway), there's the bank the poster mentioned (HSBC), but there's a lot of other businesses besides. Check it out with the street-level photos at A9 maps; here's a link: http://maps.a9.com/?mapMode=m&mapBvr=&ypLoc=591+Broadway%2C+New+York%2C+New+York&mapFrom=&mapTo=
It's also interesting that (if I'm reading it correctly) the poster didn't actually see anybody go inside a building, just park outside EMS.

Trying like mad to account for the great distance of 11,000 miles, I am pondering the following:
New Yok to Panama City via Huntsville, Alabama and Beliz City, Beliz accounts for only 2252 miles.
Now add on the following:
Panama City to San Francisco 3325 miles
San Frnacisco to Anchorage, Alaska 2010 miles
Anchorage Alaska to Montreal/Toronto via Minneapolis or Chicago 3365 miles
That gives us a total of 10,952 miles!!
I tried to work in Honolulu (just to add a wee bit of glamour and it is one place they have sky dived before) but the best I could do from Panama City to Honolulu and then back to SFO and on to Montreal/Toronto would end up with a total of 12,500miles so that sort of rules out Hawaii but Alaska is still a possibility.
Adding Alaska to the mix would allow TAR8 to cover North America from the top (Alaska) to the bottom (Panama) and from East (New York or Boston or Both) to the West (San Francisco)
