Is this your house?

It's a slow day at work today, so I thought I'd start a little game. Below is a satellite image of a neighborhood where one of us lives, in fact the little red dot just may be YOUR house. Let's see how well you can spot where you live. (Note: If you have recently moved, this may be a picture of your last house)

You can rule out purch and myself there are no igloos :D

Ive never lived in such a congested area so u can rule me out!

It sure isn't me.

I've played with enough satellite sites that I could spot my place instantly.

Not me...my river doesn't come to a dead end like that.

Not me. My neighborhood is not gridlike in any way.

Here's my house.

You can find your own right here: http://terraserver.microsoft.com/default.aspx

BTW, love the disclaimer at the bottom, Nuts. :)

I think I know where it is.

One question. Can we assume that up is north and down is south?

North is up depending on your relative position to your monitor.

nope, i don't know it....

*reads disclaimer*


............. :confused: :talker:

Clue number 1:
The house shown is an AK member, squire or recruit

Clue number 2:
Using information available on AK Forums and tools on the internet ANYONE can solve the mystery. If it's not your house, whose is it?

Clue number 3 will be disclosed on Friday

It's Kidd.

That was fun, now that I've spent two hours searching.....
Kidd's Ponderosa

Well, it definitely isn't Clay's House.

Congratulations to Choozoo for successfully identifying the pictures of Kidd's house in Great Falls, MT.

Mr. Choozoo will be receiving a $5.00 gift certificate for Amazon.com. Way to go Chooz!

Perhaps Choozoo can share with others how he determined the answer?

Stay tuned for another exiting game in the coming weeks.

Edit: Choozoo has volunteered to role his prize into the next game. So thanks to Chooz, we'll be up to $10.00! And based on the feedback, I'll be doing this twice a month! (And no, it won't always be a terraserver image)

This is the Purchaser being impressed by Choozoo!! :eek3:

Us Canadians aren't technically advanced enough to be able to find our home with a satallite image...we have to do it the old fashioned way: remembering where we live. ;)

Cruiser's pond pad

DiscoStu

Thanks Nuts!

Slaughterin' House

My apartment building

My cardboard box (err . . . townhouse)

Plane over Pyramid Lake

Casa de Beast

From a slightly higher elevation. For a brief moment, I thought the pic Nuts posted could have been of my house due to its proximity to the Delaware River, seen here.

My aerial photo is quite old--1991. Guess there's not much interesting to photograph in my neighborhood.

This is where I grew up: Childhood Home

Thats the area anyway... I couldn't get it pinpointed..

Closer view Towards the left there is the big white building.. next (north) to it is my childhood house. ;)

Home the time the picture was taken.. :tongue:

Spiffy. Richie's place

LOL, I wish Sonic Boom. I think my Trap club is located somewhere near that picture, but definitially not my house. I'm here:

Exept the thumbtack is in the wrong spot. I'm actually in the square house on the other end of the block (going right).

Looks like I need to mow the lawn and trim the hedges a bit.

My apartment

Observe the large cemetary across the street from my place. You can see some of the larger markers and the mosoleum. There's also a 3 par golf course about a block north-east of the cemetary. You can clearly see the sand traps. In fact, given my propensity for landing in sand traps while golfing, I may be in the satellite picture.

Guuny's hut, funny to look at this picture though half of the farm to the north is now 3 new housing developments. This picture was taken the year before we moved in. If you follow the road that is about the middle all the way to the right my house is the one at the end of the road you can see my garage in my back yard.

It appears as though you are correct :D

StitchJones Hut! (NOT)


Edit: Link removed due to Nuts making me paranoid. Thumbs up for the reality check Nuts! Thank you!

Okay, I'll join in.

Mine's the third house just left of the bright light.

Guys, I strongly recommend you remove some of the URLS to the terraserver images of your homes. Not sure if you noticed, but your home address is included in the image. If you want, just link to the image itself: Right click on the picture, select properties and highlight the address. Then replace the URL in your existing post with the new one.

Nice look neighborhood Gunny.

Thanks Clay, we moved there because they have a good school district and it's away from the city but only half hour drive to work.

Not fair. I've been out of town all week. I think the contest was rigged. oh, BTW, my house is actually on the other end of the block :)

way cool contest :cool:

kidd

Mine is not to nice but if you scroll out and to the south you can make out good old Disney World. Home to Mickey Rat oh I mean Mouse.
Bassis Dwelling :crazy: :confused:
