Using the following clues (the map above is purely decorative) in combination with Street View, work out my location.
Although Roman, THC’s chief puzzlewright, would be interested to know how long it takes you to solve this solo foxer, he’d rather you didn’t put spoilers or solutions in the comments.
Today you’ll find me a stone’s throw from a yield sign, about 800 metres from a red caboose, and less than 200 metres from a blue water tower that sports the name of the town you’re searching for. Spoken out loud, said name might make you think of northeastern France. Seven other towns in the US bear the same name. A five minute drive from a battlefield where around 960 people lost their lives in October, 18**, I’m in a state that has a snake as its official reptile and a pocket-sized beast as its official mammal. If I wanted to crow fly to the nearest state line I’d need to flap NW for about 10 miles.
You are probably in the right place if you can see…
- Gnomes
- Gravestones
- Shingles
- A snail-shaped watering can
- A spire
- A trampoline
- A ram
- The words ‘Imagine the possibilities!’
- The words ‘Norfolk Southern’
(Last week I was here)
Gnomes ahoy! Average. 20-30 minutes with the usual Monday morning distractions Good to get it done before the working day fully starts.
