Challenge #4.9 - Where in the World is the Gross Family?

Alright family, here is the last photo challenge of this series. Congratulations Gena on correctly identifying all of Gracie's locations! I really think you might secretly be a PI. You're a little too good at this! And Damon, Gracie did visit both Pat's and Geno's (I thought of putting both pics in), but the photo is at Geno's; the orange table is the only distinguishing part. 

Enough about that challenge. Onto Reagan, Abe, and Brett! This photo was taken on July 2, 2010. I thought about making that the only clue, mostly to test out my Gena PI theory, but that would't really be fair to anyone else. So here is your final clue. The Wittig Fam is visiting the leading recreational aviation convention. Okay Gross Family, challenge on!

Challenge #4.8 - Where in the World is the Gross Family

This post is all about Gracie! I really liked how the Carissa/Mom post used a chain of logic and only the photos as clues, so I've decided to follow suite here. I'm looking for specific locations, pretty much as specific as you can get. So far I think our family has shown our ability to be stalker-ish-ly accurate with the whole citing of locations thing; I'm ready to see that magic worked once again! (Hint: These are all from the same trip.)

Challenge #4.7 - Where in the World are Debbie, Pete, Julia, and Bill

Scotland/ Ireland edition once again! I think this is the last from "Way Northern England." (By the way, that was your first clue.) This location is a type of Bronze Age circular tomb cairn near the "Mouth of the River Ness". Much like many stone circles, this one also marks the winter solstice. One more hint, it's not Stonehenge!

Mom also sent another challenge, this one in the form of a question:

What did #s 3, 7, 8 & 9 have for dinner that is made of beef suet, pork blood, vegetable fat, oatmeal, onions, salt & spices? 

Feel free to puzzle over one or both of these challenges! Also, congrats to Damon, again, for correctly naming both locations in yesterday's post. I give style points to Teri; your answer sounded a lot cooler! 

Challenge #4.6 - Where in the World is the Gross Family?

Our family is so in-synch (not to be confused with N* Sync... I know we're not a boy band.) What I'm referring to are the following pictures, submitted by Debbie (Mom) and Carissa. The picture from Mom showcases one of her most recent tourist stops. The picture from Carissa is quite a bit older, depicting a tourist spot from several years ago. Both pictures are of similar locales, only they are 3,426 miles apart. Carissa's photo has a pretty good clue... I think both locations can be worked from there.

P.S. We're about to get hit with our third major geological/ weather-related catastrophe in just over a week. For those of you keeping track: 1) massive hail storm last Thursday resulting in almost $5,000 in damage between both of our cars (thank you insurance); 2) 5.9 magnitude earthquake and accompanying after shocks; 3) hurricane Irene. I can't elaborate on the last one, but I anticipate a pretty hefty power outage. If the site goes dark for a few days, I'll be sure to update with the last picture submissions as soon as we're brought back to the 21st century!
