click to search using Google MapsOk, this is more of a test than anything else. I just want to see how difficult it is to find a relatively small, non-airport related clue that has pretty much nothing to do with anything. I promise I’m not just trying to kill your eyes and if this is too difficult or boring, I’ll stay away from stuff like this. But I’m still working out the difficulty kinks so it helps to test things out like this.

Well, this SORT of looked like a spoon to me, along with its shadow. A little lame, I know. Also, the word clue is unimaginative (and ambiguous), sorry. I think this might be some sort of satellite dish or transmitter, but as always tell me if you know what it is!

    Just found your site from the link at GorillaMask. Pretty cool…

    I found this spoon thingy: http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Jackson,+MS& ll=32.427811,-90.133475&spn=0.005075,0.005407&t=k&hl=en

    I wonder if it’s some kind of sign related to that railroad?

    You asked what the “silver spoon” really is. I believe its a water tower, rather than a trasmitter or dish. You can get something of a profile from the shadow and it looks exactly like one the newer style water towers.

    Yep, I think you’re correct. Btw, thanks for the clue you submitted. It seems to be “harder” than most of mine. =) I think it comes down to the amount of geo-info in the “word clue”.
