**FIRST EMAIL**/FRC Game Hint #2

[Optimizer]

Nobody has gone out there with a GPS set - or at least nobody has reported HERE about having done so - so what we have is whatever web sites give us (which can be inaccurate, and don't necessarily agree 100%).

For what it's worth, I pieced together part of a USGS topo quadrangle (data taken off Terraserver; I have attached a small portion here), and used the tick marks to estimate where the location is (marked in purple). Then I calculated where the spot across the street would be (marked in blue), using the bearing. It comes out about 100 ft east of the dominant location we've seen here. As far as I can tell, there's nothing special there (does anybody know better?), and across the street at that point there's just a Wendy's and a Burger King.

Because that location was so meaningless, and maybe that source isn't any better, I'm inclined to accept the "standard" location we've seen here anyway. The view from there has several interesting items:

1) Tortoise and Hare statues, which I have finally figured out are right in front of my next item.
2) Fountain/pool (coupled with the hint that water might be involved, this seems meaningful).
3) Dual obelisks (looks like a goal post).
4) Globe Bar and Cafe, across the street - although as best as I can tell, the line-of-sight through the obelisks really points to the place next door (to the west of it).

That's my bottom line, at this point.
