World Treasure Hunt With Google Earth.

OK, i don't know if this has been done before but it's a really fun game.

Basicly its a treasure hunt on Google Earth

What you do is look for these items:

Mid air plane/jet, at least 10 miles away from airport (100 points)
Car accident (50 points)
Ancient ruins (25 points)
Pyrimid (30 points)
Contuction zone (10 points)
A Zoo (15 points)
Oil Rig (25 points)
Street performer's (40 points)
Helicopter Pad (50 points)
US Military Base off USA soil (100 points)
Crop Circles or other crop designes (100 points)
A Fire (75 points)
Farrari Dealership (30 points)
An active volcano(50 points)
Nuclear power plant (35 points)
A Wild animal (45 points)
water-bound Aircraft carrier (70 points)

anything rare and/or ammusing

Once you find any of these, take a screen shot, then host them on Photobucket or ImageShack and post them here, but be sure to have your name on the pictures so nobody steels them.



Once you submit them i'll addyour name to the score list.

Good luck

Treasure Hunt

Great little fun challenge, Explosive Smurf !

Just for clarification, when you say, "water-bound aircraft carrier", do you mean an aircraft carrier that is not tied up in port ?

The wild animal is also proving to be a bit of a challenge. The resolution is not good enough in many African countries to spot even an elephant, and even trying to spot one in captivity at a zoo with high definition, like the Toronto Zoo, is questionable.

Have you found these two items yourself ?

This is a fun game. What about the points system? Is this additional point system to my thread?
