Sark, I was 10 feet from him... ;)

Being from Denver, I'm surprised not more people biked, I mean biking is going to get you ANYWHERE within 2-3 miles of downtown faster than a car is.

I was downtown when the first tweet came out. It said "South Denver" I IMMEDIATELY got on my bike and biked there FROM DOWNTOWN and passed SO many cars in traffic. Got to Wash Park about 2-3 minutes before they posted the GPS coords. As soon as they posted the GPS coords I was within 800ft of the location. I scoped out all the places around the boathouse thinking there was going to be a big show, FOUND the sole cop on duty, to which he denied he was there due to the phone, so I knew I was close. Biked up the path to this sign and was probably 5-10 seconds from finding it.

This guy Marc had his dad find it for him. His dad had a portable GPS unit and it was accurate to 16ft.

THERE WERE NO PEOPLE IN BLUE SHIRTS NOR TV CAMERAS!!!! Just people sitting around spread out randomly. I think the Verizon boss lady was sitting next to a tree reading a book or something.
 
nope, i was the one on the bike

here's a picture of #15 winner with dad in background

#7 is most likely to be at a popular place not to sure how popular air ports in your guys area are at night though ? most likely it be someplace near by one of them but just so ever off !! who knows though we seen all sorts of unsuspected turn outs lol

taxi man taxi bike anything get urself going if your going to find it less then 14 till gps goes and its out there right now so if ya see it a group with cameras look to see what they r looking at grab it cuz its out there some place right now
 
I'm trying to lead a friend of mine. He was/is hanging out at Pike's Place but we are both thinking Alki Beach based on "West Seattle". Sending him to Spud's now since that would match several of the other hiding places.

if you're using google maps, zoom in as far as you can and it will be within 10 feet of the green arrow.
