There apparently is an altitude threshold above which the marker isn't visible. Try zooming in closer and then scroll around.

OK, so I found the first clue easily enough, but now I am trying to get the second clue to load and it keeps sending me into this endless loop and then the site just stopped working. Could it be that they figured out they have a problem and are fixing it, or did something more serious happen.

I don't know about you all, but my goal is to get the 23 entries the hard way, playing through the clues and google earth.

Next set of clues are now available. Nailed clue #3 real fast, but this 4th one has really thrown me for a loop. Besides the fact that the video shows the location hint very quickly, the hint that they give you to go with it, really doesn't help either. Let me re-phrase that, it doesn't help me, I suck at this whole cryptic thing, why can't it be a picture of something in the city or something. Anyone else as stumped as I am?

the 4th one was tough. the thing that appears after the cx-7 drives by is a crocodile...but what's wrong with it? and the hint sucked. i think a better one is "world renouned performance venue".

Good work, Glyphon. I finally got it with a wee bit of help from your clue.

For those of you still stumped by #4, completely ignore the Hint provided. It is worse than useless and it will send you off in the completely wrong hemisphere.
