All the computers in my school lab is equipped with GEarth, but it's the weekends now so I won't be able to access it before the deadline's up.

Good luck searching! One more to go!

Is anyone else working on the famous cemeteries list? If so I'd like to check the CA/BOS/NYC cemeteries.

Is it just me, or is there also a link between locations? The Great Wall of China and the Pyramid (or the Sphinx, whichever we think it actually is) are both monuments constructed by man, whereas Machu Picchu and the Bay of Fundy are both naturally occurring spots. I haven't been able to spot links for the four inner locations, though, so maybe this is just me reading too much into it.

EDIT: Guys, on the inner circle in the cemetery, are those monuments or something? It's so hard to tell, but they don't look like trees...

EDIT2: Has anybody tried Lafayette Cemetery in New Orleans? A friend of mine says she thinks it's that.

EDIT3: Scratch that, a friend just checked Google Earth for me and it ain't it.

Yeah on the circle I think those are bigger headstones, probably for more famous people, or maybe just rich people.

I can't stay - just stopped in to see if anyone solved the grave mystery.

Can someone check on Lincoln's tomb for me (in Springfield, IL)? I have been there and his tomb is in the center of a circular drive, and would have lots of cars driving by like that.

Thanks.

Just had a friend check, Lincoln's tomb is a dud as well. I was really hoping we had something there. Crying or Very sad

Forgive me if this has been done, but I didn't see a mention. Has anyone checked the cemetery of the town where BEX is? (Not really following this, so I don't remember it).

I don't see one in Simcoe, but there are some in nearby Brantford, so I will check those. Doesn't seem to be any of those.

Wait--sorry if this has been posted already, but can someone (re)post the list of cemeteries they need ppl w/Google Earth to check?
I can do that, but I don't have time to get the list right now, sorry.... Razz

It's right in the middle of page 17. I've checked many of them but would appreciate a second pair of eyes.

Here is the list per Esteed. I have started at the bottom working up.

My first thought was an "above ground" cemetery. I checked all the ones in New Orleans and didn't see an immediate match, but I might have missed it (and there are a helluva lot of 'em in New Orleans).

Where did BEX live in? Both her parents died. This could be where they were buried. Same with Steph and the grandmother.

I hate to say it in case I'm wrong, but I'm not convinced it's a cemetery. If it is All the gravestones are the flat marker ones, they have no shadows, and there appears to be a monolith or two in the middle of the circle by looking at the shadows. They also seem too big and closely spaced to me.

BEX was from Boston and went to school in NY.
