ok.. fuzzy.. i hope you dont mind, but i edited your message because googleing any part of your previous sentences put the answer up immediately..   so, hopefully it will be a little bit harder now, since this was a fun one to research! :) :)


also, here is a picture of the place now..

Hi All,

Great job Chip ...... For those that haven't figured out where the last question was it's Pikes Peak "The Race to the Clouds" just outside of Colorado Spring, Colorado. The photograph is in 1916 winning time was 20:55.40, set by car number 30 driven by Rea Lentz.

Ok Tex, I'll give you this one it's Yonaguni - Ryukyu Island

Prof. Masaaki Kimura first estimated that this must be at least 10,000 years old (8,000 BCE) dating it to a time when it would have been above water. He later revised his estimate as a result of the remains of marine organisms attached to some parts of the Monument have been carbon-dated 6,000 years old, so that would be an upper limit to the date of its construction. Human presence in the Ryukyu Islands is believed to date from over 16,000 years ago, as attested for example by the Yamashita-cho bones (Yamashita Cave Man) (carbon-14-dated 32,000 years ago) and the Minatogawa Man skeletons (dated 16,000 years ago).

 ;D Fuzzy, I should have known it would be a NASA subject "Cant be seen from space" lol
If I said it was 3 miles off Key Largo in the Florida Keys in about 62 feet of water,45feet long and 13 feet in diameter.Perhaps "Aquarius" would be a great name >:D
cheers
