After 4 shaky searches - isn't Texas a towering distance from New York?

After 4 shaky searches - isn't Texas a towering distance from New York? And the world is better off for it. You saw what happens when they mix a bit.

Sierra Nevada re. 86: an excellent puzzle! I have been away. Is this one still an active puzzle, or do I need to labor until Labor Day to get it? Harvey, look at my #86 post on the previous page ( click here) with the map of the site. The Gmap4 map is interactive, so you can play with the controls. Try switching from Satellite to Hybrid view, zoom in and out, scroll the map around, and pretty soon the answer will be burning in your brain, man.  (AlanK's reply to #86 was all I needed.)

Steve, that is exactly how I got it (already).
My Labor Day comment is a clue for anyone else.
PS two or three of us have it. Is it time for the original poster to confirm and link to story. Are them the rules?

> My Labor Day comment is a clue for anyone else. Oooooh! Sorry. I missed the point that the event revolves around Labor Day. My bad.  Rules? ...What rules? Seems like AlanK could just declare the puzzle solved, and post a link.

What In The World Happened Here? LXXXIX (89): Nothin' in that room to either recognize or google, as far as I can tell.

> Rules? ...What rules? Seems like AlanK could just declare the puzzle solved, and post a link. Rules are for knife fights and Calvinball. I figure that anyone can post a solution any time. I do try to hold off on, rather than updating the summary too early, but admit that my criteria are arbitrary and variable.

BTW -- wagga -- THIS ONE SHOULD BE #89!! Escapes me as to how that happened - but it's fixed now.

Sorry for the delay, looks like there's a burning desire to confirm that you've got this one solved. It's Black Rock City, NV, home of the Burning Man Labor Day Week celebration of whatever you want to celebrate, man. I've always wanted to attend one of these and the aerial is pretty cool looking. I was expecting to provide some clues but this group is already on fire. Amazed again... Black Rock City Maps

Surely you saw Trading Places. The standard bet is $1 US.

Surely you saw Trading Places. The standard bet is $1 US. You get your very own twisted puzzle: 13040; 13262; 15432. Two of those could stop the other getting larger. These numbers are subject to change today and in the following three days.

Ponting a Yank in that direction is hardly cricket. Well, the third-highest scorer was caught by the highest scorer of all time in test cricket. This game, cast in junior stick&ball terms, would be like Ty, Hank & Babe playing in the same game. Or something like that. Back to regular programming...
