Finale ' 5 Continents...10 Countries...And More than 59 thousand Miles! '
Slowhatch:
I've looked all over the official photos but I couldn't find a match; if it's just a frozen fishing lake I'm not going to try--there are just too many of them. They might be taking off from Talkeetna, but it might also be the Lake Hood Seaplane base, next to Anchorage International, where Rustair parks their planes (open the kmz below and look for the red planes). Both K2 and Rustair are family businesses (see the video at the bottom of this page), but according to this listing Rustair owns all the planes (including the N121KT seen in the cap).

Sadly, the theme I keep seeing throughout this season is SEARCHING! :groan:
Neobie:
Agree that the Ray/Yolanda shot in the car (in Preview #1 and also in Preview #3 is recycled. The Italian flag is on the clue. (Unless they go back to Italy... :-\)
The Eric/Jeremy task seems to be 'delivering' a geisha to the older lady (forgot the term :groan:) who gives them the next clue.
Could you spot a swan ferry from a lake in the theme park? It seems like teams have to take as many rides as possible to spot SOMETHING from the air?

This article describes an older "mother" (oka-san) that runs a house; but the Wiki article states that geishas are hired out of the union hall. Actually, I hope the producers hired actresses instead of geishas; I've never been to Japan but I understand that real geishas are horribly expensive.

If we assume they're driving and that Fujikyu comes before Yamanaka, then the Fujiyoshida portal gives directions:
--- Quote ---Take the Chuo Expressway. At the Otsuki Interchange, head toward the Kawaguchiko Interchange. This interchange is conveniently located on Rt. 139 near Fujikyu Highland Amusement Park.

This map puts the distance between Fujikyu and Yamanaka at about 10km, so maybe...
