Alright. I went all the way back to the first one. It was pretty easy to triangulate some of them. Some of them have clues to location in the photos. It was fun.
I would like to point out some issues with the scale displayed. There are quite a few cases where the scale only changes when you shift the map so your guess could be affected by an incorrect scale. The first location was one example. After I guessed the location from the first photo (it's pretty obvious if you have been out there) I made a second guess that cut the error by about half. My third guess was inside the radius which appeared to be about 5 miles even though the actual location plotted as correct was well outside any point that could've been triangulated from the first two guesses. I suspect the scale was not correct since moving the map by grabbing it updated the scale.
I managed to get quite a few of the 75 or so available by the third guess. I got a couple on the second guess since I recognized the geology of the area. All in all when you miss by 0.02 miles I think it is close enough. This makes me think the error radius changes based on the individual photo since I had narrowed the location to within 0.04 miles on one California location and wasted two picks narrowing the location while still remaining outside the "correct" radius.
Pretty fun stuff. Thank you sir. May I have another?
