More specifically:
if you convert the coordinates to decimal (40.59575, -73.5098833) and use the mapquest tool, it marks a point on Long Island, just south of where E Ocean Parkway meets Wantagh Parkway South. It is just south (or in) Jones Beach State Park and just west of Jones Beach Pitch and Put.


I have a friend who lives in NYC, i'm giving her a call now. Any NY residents that can also venture the trip?

[EDIT: added pictures]

Messing around with Google Earth, I found it a little over to the east of where your picture is. And I'm as sure as I can be that I converted it into the right decimals. Then again, you can count the number of times I've used Google maps on one hand with very few fingers, but I've attached the image anyway. X marks the spot.

Here's a mega-zoom of the location according to google earth...

For flavor - the obelisk in the satellite photos is a water tower that marks the entrance to Jones Beach.

Interesting they would use our own history against us - irony anyone?

Anyway - I called for the heck of it - I wondered a couple things while I was pressing the keys:

1) Do they have a good knowledge of our history - or were they here for it
2) Why do they repeat most of the options like 2 million times - it got annoying, but it might be important - how many and what options were repeated.

quick post to say that the wonders are chosen in chronological order; with the pyramids being the point of origin;

Is anyone heading to the park near the obelisk, or are people taking the advice to "go quietly" seriously, and not posting.

I might be able to head down there this weekend, but it is a treck (~5 hours depending on traffic) and I don't want to take the time and find nothing because someone else has already found what is there.

Well, its good to know my idea worked! I phoned up as soon as i got home and its reset to the daytime service. How many players do we have in/contacts in NY? Becuase if a few people go down it saves others treking to find whatever is there!

Hi guys

I will go out tomorrow, but I dont know when or what to look for. I need to find the train or a ride out there -which I can and will do.

I read the thread. I will check in again before I leave tomorrow probably around noon or so my time.

Any help on what I am supposed to do??

HELP - the message is different now I think.. I need to know what extension to enter. It takes 3 digits. I get this "the person you are calling as ceased to be maybe you will see them in another life" then disconnect.

I just spotted this at the NY state Parks site

Yikes. But as I recall, triathlons start early and end amazingly fast, maybe this will be settled down before I arrive.

I dont hear anything about "enter quietly." I am confused. ( Edit-for anyone playing the unfiction drinking game, take a drink, )

Gotta run, but will check in tomorrow. Cheers!

Just called the 800 number, and it asked me to enter an extension, one number at a time. I tried 221, and it said,
