"Where am I?" Game

[jdsx]

Bingo!

What the hell is this though?

[Fussbudget]

Ha, you've obviously got better eyes than me because I can't see any writing whatsoever! But yes it is, well done. Those two buildings are part of Diageo so the heavy-handed imagery will be whisky-related, probably.

We were slowly making our way to the northernmost football league ground in the UK. I was hoping to start closer to it but was hampered by it saying ELGIN CITY FOOTBALL CLUB in huge letters on all sides

What the hell is this though?

Cannae see yer picture

[jdsx]

It's the 'thing' on the right hand side of the building in your last photo. Could be still-related (whisky-still that is) I suppose

[jdsx]

Any better?

[Fussbudget]

Yeah I think it's some barley or wheat going into the still and whisky flowing out or something. Some kind of poetic representation of the whisky-making process

[jdsx]

I haven't got anything up my sleeve, so to speak, so if someone fancies a go, please do. If not I'll try to put something up tomorrow.

[caja-dglh]

Yeah - that is definitely a pot still.

[jdsx]

OK, I think this one is quite hard, which means someone should get it within a few minutes...

[jdsx]

We've moved forward a few yards, and we're looking along the road to the left (of the first pic)

[jdsx]

But the reason we're here is actually looking to the right (in the first pic) (it's not a battlefield).

[Fussbudget]

This is what I imagine Nevada looks like. Or Roswell

[jdsx]

I've got a terrible feeling someone else might have already done this on about page 50 of this thread, in which case I can only apologise....

[jdsx]

But we're now heading towards the nearest habitation...

[San Bernardhinault]

I feel like I drove through there 2 weeks ago, but several hundred thousand square miles of America looks like that.

[Fussbudget]

The only nondescript US road we've done that I really remember was the location from that baseball film Fields of... Gold? Glory? but that had quite a lot more, er, fields

[jdsx]

That's just a side-road to the local airport, btw!

[jdsx]

Near the airport, heading towards 'town'

[jdsx]

On the edge of town now... (not sure if the signs will be legible)

[Fussbudget]

Hmmm, I thought it might be Empire, NV but it doesn't seem to match.

Can't quite work out what those buildings are in the previous picture, it looks like some agricultural buildings and maybe a mill?

Field of Dreams, it was one of mine, but we're definitely not in Iowa here. There was a phase of movie locations e.g. I think a bridge from a scene in the Big Lebowski?

[jdsx]

Still heading south towards town. Now past the town sign (pop: 5,594)....

[jdsx]

Well we've pretty much arrived downtown, as I think they say...

[San Bernardhinault]

So, I think earlier it may have said US-8 and Water Tank Road. US-8 is way in the north in Michigan and Minnesota, but it could be US-80/81 etc.

Cenex gas is based in Minnesota and distributes across the mid-west and west. Shopko seem to be across the north, from Michigan and Wisconsin through to Washington.
