Did you recognize the troops as Canadians? Was it the identification on the ship? Recognize Juno Beach? Was it the bicycles? I missed any tips there.

I was aware the Canadians had a bicycle brigade and assumed the beach was in the middle of the Gold/Juno/Sword swath. I've been there twice and would love to go again.

48,714. Probably a PR, one lucky guess led to being off by a total of only one year.

1) 9643 pts
0 yrs off - 64.3 km. The relative absence of masks suggested Florida; went with somewhere in the middle on the coast.

It being a Trump crowd, I figured it could have been anywhere and it would have been like that.

9243 oyr 256km Saw a welcom home sign so went with FL
7647 6yr 252km Was going to post the middle of Germany but went with Munich to my detriment
5871 22yr 205m I was thinking 32 as well, but then went with 36 because a couple cars looked too recent to have fit in 32.
9936 0yr 2.8km This was a pretty obvious one but I didn't feel like mucking around with the map to get closer
4734 30yr 41km A couple of features looked older than WWII, so I went with WWI

1) 7725 pts 0 yrs off - 1549.2 km -- Saw the WKU and UM shirt. Figured Michigan was the swing state and went there.

2) 8851 pts 3 yrs off - 249.5 km -- They were all holding glasses. They weren't exactly steins but figured Oktoberfest was as good of a guess as any.

3) 4996 pts 22 yrs off - 205.5 m -- I thought the badge on the front of his shirt might have said 1932. All the cars did look about 30's vintage to me too.

4) 9828 pts 1 yrs off - 5.6 km -- Cyrillic and a .ua tld.

5) 9215 pts 1 yrs off - 235.4 km -- Brainfart on the year. Picked too far north.

Worst time miss was 5 years on the facebook pic. Biggest distance was 11.9km in the alps.

[Bo Diddley]

Seeing that Facebook image, I was thinking of you. I was pretty sure you would get the location.

Yeah, me too. I picked somewhere half-way between SF and SJ.
