Strix, did you use Google, or no? I want to be fair when I lose horribly.
Xander: I still don't get why we came here to get info about a killer snot monster. Giles: Because it's a killer snot monster from outer space. I did not say that.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I'm now hooked on geoguessr. Got.within 5 km when I saw a bus with the words, "Alice Springs." But I think I'm proudest when I got within 200km from only a sign that said "Sportsmen's Paradise." (I guessed the middle of Louisiana, but it was on the Gulf.). Lesson -- it's amazing what trivia helps.
On the other hand, I once guessed in South Africa when I was actually in Nova Scotia.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
11916! Dammit, now I'm hooked. Guessing Gallup, AZ, from the logo on a passing truck got me over 4000 points. Then I got two scrubby forests and downtown Osaka. Forests? Tend to look alike.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Our wings are not tired.
Not even looking at the Geoguessr. I am confident that, 1) I don't have enough hours in my day and 2) I would suck at this.
I am however, enjoying the play by play competition.

Thrive to spite them
I'm not looking things up but I just got 6406 for getting within a few blocks of the picture. I was trying to eliminate - it looks tropical. It looks like it might be in the US, and I pan around and there's a not every well hidden sign for the Key West Art History Museum.

Steph -- Hell, yeah, I used Google!
With Google on your challenge, I got 22000-something. Part of that was the amusement park one, Tim looked at the very first shot of it and said "Busch Gardens."
Me: "What? How do you know?"
Him: "I was there. Just try it."
Sure enough. Damn prodigy.

Yeah, I went with the wrong Busch Gardens. Was very irritated. But my new score...I WORKED on that one!

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Apparently I can't tell the difference between Botswanna and Arizona out in the middle of nowhere with no signs and mountains in the distance.

Well, I thought Finland was Korea, so don't feel bad.
