PEACH, I think you're off base. PORVENIR got its start as a gold mining town. Also, the terrain slopes "up to the base of Cordillera de Darwin," which is a high mountain range. There will be plenty of trees and non-flat terrain nearby. I just revved up Google Earth for a look around that part of Tierra del Fuego. It is cloudy directly over Porvenir right now, but I can confirm lots of mountainous terrain nearby.

The sun angle suggests that the place where Amber is trudging is west of the wooded hillside.

Thanks! After all the hard work   ;) getting them to Porvenir, I was really disappointed that it looked so flat in all the pics I could find...

Google Earth still hates me--for some reason I'm always in West Africa--if anybody has any idea what is wrong with that, I'd really appreciate some help!

 :happy: Yippee apskip!! I knew you could do it  :yess:

peach, Porvenir was just a far fetched guess and like you noted its pretty flat so yeah if Amber is panning/sifting? for something whatever that thing is we still have a lot of options ..maybe Slowhatch could get the date properties off the pictures? Can someone test this link ?

Also while I'm here while i'm thinking about it ...what we really need is mwooden to update the timeline  :keeta:

Oh I think us rff detectives have done a pretty good job from time to time predicting what order the teams come into the pitstop..I especially recall Chateau d if making predictions based solely on shadows and lighting that were right on :jam: BUT we need more promo's and pictures and the first episode is always the hardest. Personally I'm hoping Romber come in first in the first leg just so I can have some comfort knowing that they won something  :lol:

anyway..
Jonathans final 4 ..Dustin & Kandice ( his fav team he hopes they win ) Eric & Danielle and Rob & Amber with Charla/Mirna coming in fourth.

haha puddin, Rob and Amber would be my second choice for winning...during TAR7 i was so obsessed with them making it to the F3 that I kept looking at those airport pictures of U/J and Ron and Kelly and I *THOUGHT* i found a guy all the way in the back that looked like Rob...red hat, red shirt, black side strap pouch....I wonder if it was really him.

Oh I remember that picture Mike! but the guy you thought was Rob was wearing black hip/hop baggy pants and Rob was wearing camouflage shorts.
btw we really don't make phony pictures here..I was messing with you yesterday, I didn't think you would fall for it  :kissy:

Is Amber wearing her A shirt at MIA? I'm thinking maybe Ecuador should be considered for the photo.

I think it's waders.  I don't see any place where chaps transition to shoes/boots.  It looks like it's all connected.

Her hands look raw too.  But I may be reading too much into it.

Now I'm thinking waders...she's wearing white sneakers in the cast photo and in this her feet look black too...

Snakes...eewwwww.

And apskip said that the land becomes mountainous on Porvenir--just wonder how far away from the ferry? I finally got a look with GE and I do see trees but sadly, my snagging skills aren't highly developed  enough for me to share so will have to hope either Slowhatch or Chateau will post the area!

Haven't checked all the links up thread...
so sorry in advance if I'm reposting..
Porvenir, Tierra del Fuego

 
Southward of the region, crossing the Strait of Magellan, sailing on a ferry for about 3 1/2 hours we reach Tierra del Fuego Island, welcoming the visitors int peaceful of Porvenir. During the navigation, a beautiful panoramic view of Punta Arenas and surrounding mountains will be appreciated.
