The term "Taylor made spider on the bridge" is a significant hint. So was the term "The water became a hazard". There is only one game I know of other than "Spear Catching" that uses the term hazard.

OmCheeto said:OK! I got it. Image googling "golf banned in scotland" brings it up very promptly.

The Swilcan Bridge at St. Andrews.
I'm not a golfer, so the "Taylor made spider" clue still eludes me.
google google google
Ok. It took me only three seconds.

If I happen to be correct, I don't have a landmark ready, so upon edward's confirmation, someone else can post a new one, unless I think of one after my nap ends, which starts... now :zzz:
edward said:I snapped this from a Youtube video
OmCheeto said:That's usually how I do it now, if I don't have pictures taken by myself, or a friend.
Collages also confuse the hell out of google image search.
The following is just a random city I ran across while researching an interesting new technology this morning.
The number one matching image on google is a Doc Martens store in Seattle. Close(not!), but wrong continent.
Jonathan Scott said:Nice. Wrong hemisphere too. That one took me SEVERAL MINUTES to find.
OmCheeto said:Too many clues? Sorry! Just trying desperately not to repeat the world record.
Jonathan Scott said:I only used the signpost picture (describing it in words and searching for a similar image) to find it. I'd never even heard of the city before.
Sorry I'm still not likely to have time to find another landmark for a while, so I'm hoping someone else will have a go.
OmCheeto said:I've no time either for these silly games. Let's let edward's wife guess what it is, as he's obviously gone off the deep end, with his new pain meds.
ps. Ed. I can relate. My back is still giving me problems.
pps. Tequila and Vodka migzes isa a rillee goooood kyooooor for pain though... (hic!) :zzz:
ppps. There actually was a clue in there, somewhere.

edward said:That did it. I will have to upload something but it will take a while. If anyone has a landmark ready and wants to find and post the current one go ahead. Could you believe that I had been looking in Mexico.
edward said:Since there is only one UNESCO site in the country I only need the name of the country.
Jonathan Scott said:Isn't that pushing the concept of "landmark" a bit far?
OmCheeto said:I've figured out all the clues, except for "There was an ancient indigenous people who lived here. At last count there were only 600 of them left."
According to wiki, the "blood" people who lived there, number 90,000.
Even though I have a landmark locked and loaded, I'll not post my guess until I figure this out. (It may take me 6 or more months, without another clue. )
I suppose it's my ADD that makes this game so much fun.
Jonathan Scott said:Isn't that pushing the concept of "landmark" a bit far?
Jonathan Scott said:Both the clues about altitude and about being landlocked in an unusual way independently suggest somewhere within the same kingdom, which includes a UNESCO park, but I can't see any way to locate the specific landmark picture.
edward said:I got the 600 number from a video of the landmark. That may have meant 600 in the area of the landmark.
The disposal of other solid waste materials is taken care of by the responsible municipality. Lesotho does not have the facilities to deal with hazardous substances that are a by-product of the denim effluent treatment plants, and these are currently stockpiled and then transported to South Africa for processing.
OmCheeto said:And there we have it!
uKhahlamba / Drakensberg Park, Lesotho

"The "San" were Africa's oldest hunters".
The lowest point of Lesotho is unique in that it is the highest low point of any country in the world: "1,400 metres (4,593 ft)" per wiki
And you wear Levi blue jeans. :tongue:
I can't find any articles past 2009 for the "Levi & Gap" jean toxic waste death scare.
The Lesotho Textile Exporters Assn has the following on their website:
Anyways, those are all my guesses, and I'm sticking to them.
The Maloti-Drakensberg Park is a transboundary site composed of the uKhahlamba Drakensberg National Park in South Africa and the Sehlathebe National Park in Lesotho.
edward said:That is correct, and to think that we went through all of this because I bought a pair of jeans at Target.
I backed away from needing the exact UNECSO site because it went through a name change in the past year.
