I can't find either of the last remaining two locations -- the beach inlet with dock or Kobi's birthplace. I'm throwing in the towel...

yea, kobi definitely won the last two rounds- those are pretty difficult- i've gone over the entire us coast line 3-4 times...gone thru all the major inland lakes- no luck... then Kobi's birthplace...ha well theres only 48 states to check no biggie. what if you took one step back on the zoom in those photos ie: if you were at 11k ft zoom out to 20k ft -dont make it toooooo obvious, but just a little more info might help btw, this marina extra credit image- this isn't where you are going to want me to design your dream house now is it??

I saw it right off the bat. Hmm, I must have built in zoom and auto focus.

I knew that everything came from Google, but this was the first picture that I could clearly see "2006 Google" on the map.

Has the picture been flipped or anything? I assume not, knowing the depth of Kobi's integrity.

Im about to throw in the towel too, lots of searching, but no finding
