I can't promise the world ya know...

 

Add them to the pot... someone will cash in eventually.... of course, you're going to have to utilize the aforementioned stamps to get the prize from point A to point B.

 

kobi, theres waaaay too much water, too many rivers, streams in the US...any airports nearby? im checking illinois right now..should i pack up and leave that state?

 

PS, what kind of coin are we talking?

I've got 4 years of advanced agriculture classes and FFA under my belt, all that time and study is not doing me a bit of good. After highschool I decided that wasn't a carreer I wanted, so now it's just hobby and food. I wouldn't mind putting the time that I invested in the education back in highshcool to a profitable use. We did not learn much about artificial irragation because it's not as needed in our area for our crops of corn, corn silage, and hay.

 

My observations to help in solving this one...

1. No swimming pools visible despite highly populated areas. Indicates a cold climate? Flight may be too high still though...
2. Another meandering river. Not the primary river though -- this river makes confluence somewhere downstream with a larger river. It's a tributary for something.
3. Few lakes. Probably not glaciated -- ate least not any time recently.
4. Either we're in one of the meanders or this river flows west to east... My hunch is that we're in a meander though.
5. Is that a gravel quarry at about 10 o'clock very near the center of the dial?
6. No golf course? What kind of poodie-roo town is this?
7. Economically -- a blend of agriculture and industry (located smack-dab in the center of the town to the south of the river)... the town grew around the industry. Indicitive of an older city.
8. Flood walls? Diking? Something odd along the banks of the river.

 

I've been flying that area as well...

 

continuing on that...definitely an older community- the road structure, and orthagonality are signs...you can see the origin of the community--right off the dip in the river, typical 'main-street' not an overly commercial town. generally green- the river floods, if it didn't the growth would be all the way to its banks...

 

Flooding would indicate a certain type of climate... one that recieves lots of snow melt or rain events... I'm flying out of Illinios and going to the east coast.

I will admit, though, I'm lost.

 

 

Okay... divulge a hint or two. I gotta go to bed and Balog is going to win again...

 

In the sat pic I see the water . . .

However, that river is not on the map when you call the town up on Google Maps.

Interesting.

I don't know that much about the town, other than I was born there.

I went there for the first time since I was born this year. (My family was only there for a year or so before we moved.

From the ground, that main street looks like this:



That pic was taken this year.

 

Nice...he edits out all street signs and business signs...

 

Well... now we know for sure that you CANNOT make a U-Turn and that they have, at least, TWO traffic lights (at least one has a turn signal too!).

I must admit that I've cheated just a tad with my moderator status... I know where you currently are located (based on IP) but, based on that, I feel confident that this is *NOT* where you were born.... nor, for that case, is anywhere near where you were born...

 

man this is a tough one- Kansas City definitely looks to be 'correct' but its oriented wrong- the density is on, the river characteristics are on, the grid is on, the environment is on... arrrrrg i might have to give up for a while and come back to it when my eyes are fresh- Kobi, you win for the evening but I'll be back!!!

 

RP, come back this way a little bit..... IE No Coast USA

PS
I know this one but not from the geographic clues given in this thread. So I wont say because it's cheating....
