Treasure Map

Instructions:

Strange things happen sometimes. And sometimes they are caught on camera. And sometimes those pictures get put on Street View. Go to Google Maps or Google Earth, then follow our clues every Tuesday to find one of these images. Make sure to tell us in the comments to the right what you see once you find it! The clues are tricky, so feel free to look up things you don’t know. These puzzles will be much harder or impossible on phones, so we recommend doing them on computers. If you don’t know how to use Street View, click here.
