There’s more on that here.
I’m pretty sure Mythbusters films there, too, when they’re blowing things up and crashing cars. Their usual digs are a bit small, plus they don’t want to disturb the Yellow Taxi fuel station just up the block.
Ok, another question. When I go directly to google maps, I get the map that takes up the right half of the screen and the left half contains text the gives example search help. How do I get from there to full screen maps that some of you are linking to?
Yes, it’s the border between the US and Canada in Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park. Here is a shot with much better resolution, albeit in black and white. On another message board that no longer exists, someone once posted a shot of it from the lake. It’s really too bad, because it shows how rough the terrain is and how thoroughly they cleared that area of trees.
Yeah, I can see several places there that might have accommodated the rig for their semi-crash experiment involving two trucks and a small car donated by a viewer. The most likely place seems to me to be the inverted “T” formed at the southern edge of the airfield.
I don’t know if I cheated by doing this, but I zoomed out and saw that this was in Southern Idaho. As such those would be the cinder cones of Craters of the Moon National Monument. It’s a neat place with the remnants of fairly recent lava flows and huge lava tubes to explore.
That’s awesome! It must be a plane they caught in-flight. You can see it’s shadow up and to the right. I guess the “ghost” is an artifact of the motion.
This site in San Jose kind of looks like a baseball field, doesn’t it? But what’s that blue thing?
Good grief! What’s that curlicue thing?
