The internet sleuthing might just be smoke and mirrors. It's possible this guy already knew where the monolith because he knew the installer or is the installer. Either way, he's comes out looking good.
Not sure which is more likely.
- lovegoblin 6y agoEh there are whole communities of people who do stuff like this as a hobby. There's no particular reason not to believe it.
- ogre_codes 6y agoWasn't trying to suggest it's unbelievable or discredit the guy's ability to chase things down. Merely raising the possibility that he could have gotten his information another way. People who put up things like this often want them to get found.
- ce4 6y agoYep. I sometimes do this with ads for the housing market here in the 30k inhabitants town. Track down a house where the ad shows some exterior but doesnt tell the exact address, only the town or district. It helps a lot having done some OSM Mapping in the past and it is actually fun.
- Ataraxy 6y agoConsidering the post is on /r/geoguesser it's much more likely they're just really good at stuff like this. Some people are just insane at that game.
