(It is your thread, though, so your rules!) Ahem - I have only done that on two occasions both times late in the evening knowing I am very close to the answer (within 32 klm) but can't keep my eyes open any longer and must go to bed. Besides which I have discussed this with the thread founder (a wise and learned man - also handsome and virile, oh, and humble) and he said it is ok to do this so long as it is after 10.25 pm and you are within 32K from the target.

Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Well done Metabo - how did you get it so quick - did I leave a clue? Several clues, including one "false" one. You left "白山" visible, sticking out above the upper white box. This led me to waste time searching around Hakusan in Ishikawa prefecture. Then I noticed the course names were legible, and googling them plus "スキー場" led to Honokidaira. The picture of a man who considers himself God's GIFT / GIFUTO / ギフト / 岐阜 to the world confirmed "GIFU." Link to post Share on other sites
