"I know I've seen that thing somewhere"
Play Crush of Memory if you dare
View the 20 photos below
Fill in the digits and off you go
Most are visible in Google Earth
Use Street View for all it's worth
They are in northeast Salt Lake City
Sugarhouse, Millcreek and University
Consider this a cooperation puzzle
So if you find you're in a huzzle
Phone a friend or message a caching mate
"I've got seven. Trade for eight?"
Solve the puzzle and ditch the couch!
Stop this rhyming - it's one big Ouch!
Translation:
The twenty photos below may put a crush on your memory. If you've spent much time in Salt Lake, you've probably seen most or all of them. But, where??
When you've identified each photo's location, fill in the missing coordinate digit. Google Earth should work well for this part, and don't forget about Street View. All but two are visible, in varying degrees, in Street View.
If you are a taxi cab driver or VERY active geocacher, you may know all of these sites. More likely, some you won't be sure of. Thus, consider this a teamwork puzzle. Feel free to contact your caching friends and trade an answer or two with them. Use "Write note" logs on the cache page to let others know which ones you have and need (but don't trade answers on the cache page!). Or, if you've solved it, and are feeling generous, help someone who is still struggling. Don't give away too much - it is still a puzzle after all.
I took all the photos in the northeast part of Salt Lake City. All but one or two are easily visible as you drive by.
Let the Crush begin.
