What the flux does the old west have to do with it? I’m gonna hover around here till I get board or until someone gets it.

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

YES! Now name the city..

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

My son just started UCSC, so I have been there a few times in the last several months. I agree that it doesn't look like Santa Cruz, but the two churches look similar to those in downtown Santa Cruz and the hints make me think he is referring to the movie Lost Boys. We'll see.

Correction. It was Natural Bridges. Learned to play tennis on those courts circa 1990. My how things change. I used to go to Antonelli pond and practice Kung Fu at lunch.

Izzit Bishop?

Step 1: Figure out the movie trilogy. Many clues are posted! Step 2: Which movie in the series was partially filmed in the California Sierra Nevada foothills. You know, more outdoors kind of area. Step 3: What's the largest city in the area.

My high school, Summerville Union High, was so small we don't play this city's high school football team even tho my high school and this city are seperated by only a 15min drive.


Not Bishop

Land of the Lost?

Missed this..sorry...not Land of the Lost.

 

[MaxStout]

Save the clock tower!

I have no idea what town it was filmed in. I'll just make like a tree...and get out of here.

Carry on.

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

Wiki knows! I'll give it till this evening...it's the 3rd movie.

Bodie

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

Looks close??? I'm thinking no..but go directly west.

 

[arturo7]

Bodie is awesome. I highly recommend visiting for an hour or two if you're in the area.

 

[arturo7]

Willow Springs?

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

You're ever so slightly getting warmer. Go more west..

 

[arturo7]

That would involve climbing over to the West Side. Too lazy for that today...

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

I'll reveal at 9pm CST. Every clue is there...Google and Wiki is still available right? Just not picture searches?

I really thought with clues this would easy. Only 2 ppl even got the movie reference. I must be an old timer. Sorry, I'll do something different next time.

 

[arturo7]

You shouldn't just flat-out reveal it. Where's the fun in that? Someone will get it eventually. Just keep giving ever-juicier hints.

[JB_Brewing2]

Sonora, CA?

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Whittier CA?

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

Sonora, CA?

Bingo!! I lived up the highway In Twain Harte for my Senior year in high school. A friend of the family was the dude in the bathtub when Marty Mcfly walked through the old west town Hill Valley when he 1st arrived in "Back to the Future III". George Lucus built a theater on the area just for Star Wars I release.

You're up!

Naming the high school and giving a driving distance solved it for me.

Love this place...hope there's enough here.

After all the other clues, thought that would have been a dead give away.

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

Madrid, spain

 

[JB_Brewing2]

Madrid, spain

Sorry, wrong city, but right country.

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

Cool. Going down the list...stay connected! Barcelona, spain

The Spanish writing but non-south of the border looking people gave it away.
