Scavengeroogle: A Google Maps Scavenger Hunt To Waste More Of Your Time On

Happy Friday to you all. Hope you had a good week and are about to have a better weekend! This clue comes to us courtesy of Golux13 who submitted it about 2 weeks ago. Yes, I am way behind on clues so if you’ve submitted something sorry but I may be just getting to it now.

Interestingly, I’m starting to get some clue duplication, it was just a matter of time of course… in particular, I’ve got this Native American symbol near Phoenix submitted as a clue 3 times. I think it’s pretty cool, which is why I’m linking to it even though I’m not going to use it.

So, this particular clue looks just like a seahorse… maybe a dried seahorse considering that it’s turned all brown. Or a seahorse fossil? You choose. Whatever it is, I’m hoping that you’ll find it. Golux has mentioned that it is visible at 11/15 and that it maxes out around 14/15 so it’s a fairly large feature. This shot of Mr. Seahorse is at 12/15. I also decided to use the word clues given verbatim and see how we go. Here they are:

“Your own private moon crater”

I didn’t really do much checking on this one, so I guess we will see how tough it is. Herring levels in the atmosphere don’t seem to be too dangerous. But as always, I am often proven wrong! Region drop in a bit… P.S. If you didn’t get to read the post regarding a Real Scavengeroogle Hunt please check it out and comment if it’s something you’d be interested in.

[Edit: 11:45 PDT - I don’t believe most of you would need it, but here is the region clue: Idaho. I think that was probably apparent from the word clue … ]

[Edit: 12:15 PDT - Houston we have a problem … my internet connection has been going up and down (must be the heat wave over here) so I might not be able to update stuff for awhile, including the solution. In any case, have a nice weekend! ]

SOLUTION TO “The Seahorse”

I’m actually not 100% sure if this cool depiction of a fish IS actually a fish and not just some trash or colored rocks on the ground. I can’t go into depth on what I think this is without actually giving away too much about the clue so… if you do happen to know what it is IRL (which probably mean you have the solution as well) if you could please let me know as I’m curious about it. You actually might be able to find it at 13/15 magnification but I said 14 just to be sure.
