4. OK, well I uploaded it to another site, so try this...


Is it nearest to: New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, Philadelphia, Phoenix, San Diego, San Antonio, Dallas or San Jose?

A clue is, it's 56 miles from the city hall of one of those cities.

6. I'd say Philadelphia, but...

14. Winner! San Diego is the answer.

The picture was taken on the Sunrise Highway, 56 miles from downtown San Diego. It's the Laguna Mountain Recreation Area, part of the Cleveland National Forest. The location is only 15 miles north of the U.S.-Mexico border.

8. Am guessing New York...
Edited on Fri Mar-17-06 03:37 AM by Whoa_Nelly
But, since I am always wrong, it has to be nearer the other side of the country...so the answer must be Los Angeles

13. The correct answer is San Diego. This is the Sunrise Highway, 56 miles
from downtown San Diego. It's the Laguna Mountain Recreation Area, part of the Cleveland National Forest. This location is only about 15 miles north of the U.S.-Mexico border.
