if you are still looking on the acme map for the "G" try Google Earth.  I finally found it!!!  Ok so where is the next location?  I want to see if I can figure it out first.

If this works, you should be able to see the "G" in the upper RH side of the aerial photo.

The G was my first guess.  I remember seeing it when i was a kid.

Unless you mis-typed your coordinates, you're quite aways away.  Your coordinates place you about 2 miles ENE of Elk Falls, and while there is a curious shaped terrace nearby, it is not the "G" that is found just 1 1/2 miles west of the SW corner of Grenola, at N37.34565 W96.47625, or just under 1/2 mile west of what Google has labeled as the intersection of 104 Rd and 61 Rd.  (This is actually the intersection of Road 4 and Cyclone).  You have to be at highest resolution to see it.

Since it does seem that there is interest in this game, I propose we give the winner of this round, redcliffsw, till 9:00 pm CDT Monday the 17th to pick the next spot to search for, or let Delbert or Waldo pick one since they were next with comments about the "G".

Personally, I can't wait for the next game to start.

Okay, redcliffsw either didn't get the message, or doesn't have a spot for us to search for.  So, delbert and waldo, you are up.

I will put this one on pending an entry from someone else.

However, I could not find it on Google at the best resolution.

Maybe someone can find it since the answer to this one is rather easy.

The grave of Elk County's first teacher, Frank Hobbs, at N37.50683 W96.25258.  (It's marked on the topo, can't see it on arial view)
