Maybe not all, but I think it's worth considering. There's a big hole between Talladega and Niagara Falls, filled so far only with Central America
and Sedona. We'll need some out-of-the-box searching, like when you found the bridge in Canada and Chateau found Paul Bunyan's chair >*&. Take the pueblo as an example. It's true, as Pedaler wrote, that saguaro only grows in the Sonoran desert. But who's to say it wasn't just planted somewhere? Here's a saguaro at Judge Roy Bean's old place. When the sightings for this season started rolling in, I thought spoiling TAR8 would be dead simple, but I was wrong.

Slowhatch I searched just Pueblo , Adobe , desert church , desert mission , mission bells ..you name it I looked for it >^% . I even searched studios looking for props and roadside attractions . Like Banzai I am sure the flag is Mexico ..but can't find anyplace even close to it ..most roofs are flat and our little adobe has those unique 3 windows/bell whatever archs on the top .
Chateau d If:
Puddin, I was trying "swap meets" too but i had to do other stuff not TAR related. Put the location address into Google Maps and check the satellite image. I thought it may be the way because the place looks like it can be set up for shaded selling stalls. Just an idea. :gman: And, yes I think that is a Mexican flag too, so it could be along the boarder.
And, Slowhatch, don't forget that we have a definite on Old Faithful too.

Hey, guys, don't strain too many brain cells on this one. State maps are just cutsy, 30's type postcards and represent nothing but all states in ALPHABETICAL ORDER from Nevada to West Virginia. Nothing more.
My big question is around where do Roadblock and Detour tasks take place.
First, teams leave pitstop in Middleburg VA in early morning between 2 and 3 AM and travel by SUV to Dulles International Airport (30 minutes max even if you can't read a map correctly). They arrive there in the wee hours of the morning (note that departure ramp is deserted, main concorse is deserted) since airport seems empty. Teams seem to be walking to the far left where United Air and Independence Air counters are located.
Second, two flights seem available for teams to fly from IAD to CHS both leaving at 8:15AM:
Independence Air flight no. 1530 arrives at 9:55AM
United Airlines flight no. 5555 arrives at 10:03AM
Third, teams then go somewhere to get clue for DETOUR (perhaps to a historical location like Fort Sumter or even USS Yorktown). DETOUR now seems to be either CLEAN (counting and cleaning 200 pounds of shrimp) or DIRTY (drive a jeep through the mud). Teams doing CLEAN (Linz, Bransen, Schroeder, Paolos) and teams doing DIRTY (Gaghans, Weavers, Aiellos) afterwhich it looks like they may again go somewhere else before getting on the two buses to Huntsville which seems to leave at 8PM and 9PM. Otherwise we have a lot of time to kill between the Detour and bus departure times.
Fourth, teams arrive in Huntsville between midnight and 4AM at the visitors center to pick up SUV's to drive to NASA SPACE CAMP. Now probably a typical TAR Bunch point waiting for center to open.
Firth, now a problem unless producers are giving us another switch in having more than one Detours. There seem to be a lot of different tasks reported happening here: Centrifuge ride at the Ed Buckbee Building (aviation challenge); a maze of some sort at the Rocket Park; and a computer task at the Space Museum (AOL?). On the centrifuge we see at least two team members riding up to 3.2G's. But do all four team members have to do it or just two? I suspect that the two youngest Gaghan kids (12 and 9) would not be allowed on the machine, so perhaps only 2 have to do it. This would be another bunch point since only one team can do it at a time (eight teams means last team is going to be way behind)
UNLESS THE CENTRIFUGE IS ANOTHER DETOUR TASK and teams have a choice.
Finally, PIT STOP is at the NASA ASTROTREK BUILDING. It was CONFIRMED on CBS Sunday Morning that another eliminated team would be on TES on Wednesday morning. So no NEL nor TBC again this week.

I've been searching for the mission for a while too. A wore out looking for missions, adobes, churches and last night started looking at movie studio sets and wild west towns. Found out they still do old west reenactments. That seems like a family TAR thing to do. Thought I was close with a couple. The electrical outlet you pointed out made me think it could be a set. I'll keep looking! :gman:
