You asked for a coal train, here it is
I'm not sure it is though, but Google Earth said so đź’ˇ

If this counts, find me a mine. I mean the type of mines that are like a hole in the ground. Surface mines, open-pit mines or whatever they are called.(hope this hasn't been requested before)
If it is too hard, I'll change it.

Disneyland Paris. Hope that's special enough.

Now find me a minigolf court (or how it's called)
 
That was easy since its a mile from my house.

Can you find cars that have crashed? I thought of maybe looking for a traffic jam and following it to the front to see if thats what caused it.
 
Here you are:


They are probably cleaning out the area at the moment.


Find me hmmm..... a fire in progress. Smoke is acceptable. (I hope, again, it's the first time a fire is requested)
 
I count 11 fire trucks in this picture...can you find them all? :)

Find me a Drive-in movie theater. I know of a few believe it or not that are still showing movies.
 
That's hard, I found some drive-ins in Wikipedia, but I cannot locate them in Google Earth... :ill:

OK here it is:

At San Luis Obisco, California

I can't think of something right now, so someone else can take my turn, as I'll be off line for 14 hours.
 
You could find at least one in colorado and one in Arizona that has NINE screens. I was hoping that others would know some across the our country or the world. I wonder if there were ever drive-in's outside of the United States.

Edit: nevermind...You got one đź‘Ť


Anyone up for finding a long Suspension bridge. That should be easy enough.
 
Actually it's a painting. For some reason it was painted just so it looked like a car on a wall from an aerial view.
 
A millisecond in time...that shouldn't be hard to find on this tiny planet earth. :rolleyes: JK...that is a fun challenge.

OK, some members have complained to me this is too difficult of a task. The pic I showed them shows a tank firing, one pointed out it was only a cloud overhead and not a cannon blast.

So, scrap a tank firing.


Find: A car ferry in transit loaded with cars, or a traditional Dutch windmill. Your choice.
 
I think this is what your looking for?!?! I even know what college campus it's on but I just can't find that stupid little thing. I give up :irked:

I can pick out four houses with pools without water in them in this picture. Phoenix is an easy spot for empty pools.

Find me an airplane that is just about to land or has just taken off. It can not be over the run way.
