B:) B:) taking one last stab at the Golf course ( again if someone already guessed it sorry in advance )
Stillwater Golf Course: South off Route 78, Columbus, MT
Chateau d If:
I got to see this sequence in a commercial and noticed that in the background there are three teepee frames that have no cover on them or anybody working around them. The completed teepee is probably the example teepee and the team working on a teepee is the Weasels. Since this sequence is probably the Bransens riding along on their completed wagon that would indicate that there is quite a gap between the lead three teams and the G's. Notice that the G's are also missing from the run-through-the-fields shot that seems to precede the Teepee/Wagon Detour.

Are the suits at CBS trying to pull a fast one on us or are TPTB really going to throw a curve ball tonight. Still no mention of a TAR castoff on tomorrow's TES. In the past this has always been a dead giveaway clue that the Tuesday program is a NONELIMINATION LEG. This would bring us back to the early modus operandi when the final elimination occurred on the penultimate leg (the first hour of the finale). If the first hour ends at a "pit stop" one team would be severly handicapped going into the final leg by losing all its money and clothing (the latter would not be too much of an actual handicap and might allow them to pick up thier pace with lighter packs etc.
Guess we will just have to wait and see what happens.
I've got a bit of a problem with the location of the ranch at 15200 highway 287. Perhaps our expert on sun direction and time can help me out.
From all indications the first teams arrive at the 15200 ranch at around 6PM. And we see that the sun is coming in low through the windshield as the car drives down the highway south from Yellowstone. After the junction with route 26/89 at Moran, highway 287 heads southeast. Now when they reach the ranch we have a shot of the gate and in the distance are the high mountains of the Grand Tetons. These mountains are also behind Phil on the rail with the sun on his back (from the west?) The sun is also casting a shadow of the gate from right to left. In other words the sun is to our right (west) so the ranch road is heading south.
Our cars arrive at the gate and turn LEFT ACROSS THE HIGHWAY and the sun is now streaming in the righthand windows of the car. So the car is heading south and the sun is from the west. But acording to my map this doesn't make sense. If they have continued on 287 then they would be headed southeast and when they turned left they would be headed norhteast and the setting sun should be coming in their left hand windows not the righthand. Also this is directly opposite of the direction we would have to see the high Grand Tetons ahead of us.
The one scenario that would make sense to all this is that they missed the turnoff and had to turnaround and come back to 15200. Then they would be headed more or lesss north west so when the turned left across the highway they would be headed southwest with the sun low to their right or from the west. This would also put he mountains correctly to the west of the ranch.
This may make more sense for if Wyoming follows the usual practice followed by other states, even numbered lots are on the left or west side of north-south roads and odd numbers are on the right or east side (on east-west roads, even numbers are on the north side and odd numbers on the south side - at least this is how it is in Virginia!)

Here in California it's even numbers on the east and south! :nonoC:
Another thing that may have happened is the ranch is located at 15200 on some other road and they just keep the 287 part in the audio track as that is the main road to take to get to the correct area.
