TAR8 EP2~"How Do We Know We Aren't Going To Get Shot?"
Chateau d If:
Puddin, Now I'm not going to be able to resist reading your ply-by-play in real time while wating for the westcoast airtime.

Just to confirm that the Detour is most likely before the Roadblock once again..
Godlewski's at the first pitstop ( pink v neck T-Shirt /third from right)
Now at the reenactment (pink shirt/white pink cap/visor)

Ten teams visit Gettysburg on tonight's show? So sayeth the Patriot News. Most likely has both the site and the number of teams participating tonight wrong.
Announcement at noon on CBS that TES will feature the latest team to be ELIMINATED TONIGHT on tomorrow's show. So much for TBC and NEL.
I'm with you CdI, in one promo shown last night, the Aiello team is getting into their SUV at the Rohrer Farm and the same barn or some such outbuilding is seen through the car window. It is fully light out (they would be leaving 8th) and we hear one of the boys say"Time to hit the road." Any guesses on how long after the Godlewski Family did the Aiello Family arrive? So this is scene of them starting the day probably headed for the Shoe House in Hallam. Could the pit stop now be 15 hours? If the first team arrived around 3PM this would make the departure time around 6AM.
It would be very easy for a team to mistake the Lincoln Monument for the Jefferson Monument, the former is much better known than the latter. And this could be an easy mistake for any team who wonders if Pennsylvania is a state?
There is another scene (most likely in Washington) of Mark Schroeder seemingly looking for something in a column (square) lined building which is neither the Jefferson nor the Lincoln Monument. It is not a spot I can recognize so it may even be somewhere else. Very confusing and just as confusing as Mark looks.

Thanks to GMan’s observation where this was I can make a time of day estimate.
Also thanks to the nice xy coordinate system scribed into the concrete!
This Godlewski sister has a shadow making a 72 degree angle wrt the lines running North/South. That translates into a solar azimuth of 108 degrees. From this site I found that that happened at 10:51 am (using a date of July 9th 2005, assumes next day start of Leg 2).
ETA: eekk! I goofed. I think I used a Puddin's water mark as a scrbeline. |( On reconsideration her shadow is more like 45 degrees wrt the lines. That means a solar azimuth of 135 degrees. That happened at 12:08 pm.
