The last contest in this round of ten is #400 in the Where On Google Earth series.

Thanks to all for the excellent submissions to date. If you haven’t submitted anything, there is still a bit of time to send in your suggestions for locations to use in this special contest via a comment on this post. The comment will remain hidden. Send us your latitude-longitude pair – include a hint as well as something explaining why you chose that location. We will accept entries (as many as you would like to offer) until the end of this contest (#398). At that time, we will choose the most interesting one to use for #400, and automatically award the two points for that contest to the person who supplies that entry (since we can assume you’ll know where it is when you see it before the hint)! There will, of course, also be credit given to person that supplies the winning contest.

The Bailey Yards on the outskirts of North Platte, Nebraska is one of, if not, the largest railway yards in the world.

With about 315 miles of individual track, it’s hard to imagine how much shunting of rail cars goes on in a relatively compact space.

Over 300 miles of track and nearly 1000 switches here – lots of shunting going on!

In celebration of the Masters golf tournament last weekend, contest 391 was a visit to the southernmost golf course in the world: in Ushuaia, Argentina.

Getting the birdie:

Some of the Masters players might have played here – just not this past weekend.

Contest #390 brings us to the end of this round of 10, and we have two winners: Lighthouse and Garfield managed to get all ten before hints. Congratulations!

This location was chosen as a more difficult one and proved to be the toughest of this round with only the two winners getting it before the hint. It’s located in the western Himalayas, in the disputed border area between India and China.
