Imagine being Trey watching this thinking ‘haha look at him searching everywhere and getting nowhere’ only to be found because of a fucking blurry sign behind you 😂😂😂

Trey’s photo… he figures out where it is and starts zooming in and goes “I thiiiiiink we’re… here!” And drops the man there we are right in front of the sign and that angled sign off to the right of the photo, too. That was unreal, cool to see.

The car in Trey's photo is a Dodge Challenger RT...the more you know, lol keep it coming Tom!

Todge Butler is hilarious. If nothing else, this entire series has been worth it for that name.

no joke i just googled concrete radio tower hike and found it, mount wellington

This is mad. I was visiting Las Vegas from the UK for work over the last three weeks and just so happened to drive down that road in Boulder City only a few days ago whilst we took a trip to the Hoover Dam. What a coincidence lol.

Calling him a Devil was a lovely subtle nod to Tasmania. Great work

When you first went to Lake Mead I could see you were right on the money, then left. It killed me lol.

I’m working on a time sensitive project for my job at the moment. Unfortunately for my boss, I had to let him know I’m stepping away for 25 minutes and 44 seconds. I told him I’m searching for missing loved ones and will have their location shortly.

It always seems impossible that he’s going to get it and then he comes across it while googling turkey even though it’s in tasmania 😂. Tom is living proof of the saying “Genius is 1% inspiration 99% perspiration”

Excited for the upcoming straight line mission... Scotland attempt 2 possibly?

When I saw the first one and Tom said the foliage looked alien, my immediate thought was "it does? Seems pretty familiar to me" and now I know why.

For Tasmanians and people of Hobart this is a VERY well known spot, you'd have found it ultimately I think. It's right next to the summit of Mount Wellington which overlooks Hobart and is like, THE summit to drive to if you're visiting the area coz it's so easily accessible.

Right when you showed the second picture and went to lake Mead I was like oh this one will be quick... Followed by me screaming "it's lake Mead" for the next 10 minutes at my screen 🤣. One of those lakes once you've seen it once in person, it's unmistakable.

The best way to learn something from the Internet is to state something incorrect and then leave the comments section on, as evidenced by the number of people jumping over themselves to tell you what kind of car it actually is 😂

I live in Melbourne, closest mainland city to Tasmania. When you first brought up that first image I immediately got southern Australia coastal vibes. Weird how vibes are so often right!

Best content on KZfaq -- uncontested. So unique, genuine, and relaxing. Keep it up Tom! (also best of luck on the mission mate)

That shouting you were hearing was me saying, "Tom, stick with Lake Mead--that photo was taken not far from Hoover Dam!"

"no wonder it looks alien.. it's Tasmania" As a Melbournian, I approve this message 😂

"Is this the only sign of its kind in the whole of America?" There's actually two on that stretch of road. The Google search showed the "do not leave pets in parked vehicles" sign, but you correctly placed him at the "do not leave children parked vehicles" one that is next to the map.

I´m just full of admiration for all the time and effort you put into this series! I can´t really imagine the amount of grinding you go through! I bow in respect for all the places you did find, and I find it really hard to blame you on the rest.

More and more geo detective, let's go!

I got into these late (typically watch geo guesser stuff and the travel stuff) and have gone back and watched the other ones, these have quickly become a fave :) keep it up lad!

That terrain is instantly recognisable to Tasmanians. Drove up the mountain all the time to play in the snow as a kid.

This is definitely my favorite series of yours, always just amazed how you suss these locations out.

That's funny, cos just two days ago me and a couple of people had a chat under one of Zigzag's videos that Tasmania could be a cool spot for a straight line mission. We were talking about what SLM Zigzag could do. And here you mention the same thing. I even suggested that Hobart to Devonport might be doable, though it's 200km.

Wow. I've been waiting for you to accept more submissions because I had a perfect picture but its the exact same spot as Todge's (other side of the mountain though). Glad to see it took you on bit of a wild goose chase for awhile.

Have to say, my instant feeling with Todge was "Coastal Australia" as the foliage resembles that found on both Kangaroo Island and at Cape Leeuwin, WA. Tasmania was still suprising though!

I love these detective videos, and I can't wait for the coming straight line mission. You're the best Tom!

Love the little sped up montages of you searching with the local music over it

I love playing along with these and my first search was "tall concrete monument on mountain". Boom! Page one.

Excellent video. So happy to see another one of these so soon. Huge good luck on the straight line mission you're attempting currently!

The satellite dishes are usually pointed at geostationary satellites positioned over the equator, no? So the angle they are aimed off of the ground is the compliment of the latitude.

22:28 - RIGHT ON! BTW, The Dodge Challenger is the same car Walter White burned in Breaking Bad.

Never say never Tom! A straight line in Tasmania would be awesome! I am sure you would find a sponsor! ;)

Awesome!!! ❤ I knew it would be Tassie straight away looking at the foliage/bushes. Great episode - with love from Tasmania

Its very impressive watching this Tom. Great content between straight line missions etc.

Love these vids, the search and finding is so good.

Omg I cant wait for the straight liner! It has become my favorite series of all time on YT👌

youre the only person that I consistently watch! Thank you for your content

Love this series...actually Tasmania has a similar climate than Spain so you werent far off in your guess

I googled concrete radio spire and found it in a few seconds, finally found something faster than Tom. Great video as always! Look forward to the mission!

"Todge Butler must be a local Tasmanian... the little devil" hehe I see what you did there.

Thanks to all of the media coverage and youtube videos last year, I instantly was 100% sure that was Lake Mead or one of the adjacent reservoirs.

Omg Tom, you have no idea how much I enjoy these videos, keep it up!

I'm sure literally thousands of comments say the same thing.. but I love your knowledge and research skills, and find this video series captivating... thank you!

Well done! This is the first of your search videos I have seen.

Straight line mission across Australia would be epic!

Keep the classic GeoDetective coming 🔥

One of the best series on yt

:D this is amazing! My favourite series in whole youtube!

interesting to see just how quickly you can find people based on searches and google earth...kinda says don't photograph yourself doing things(good or bad) and post it on the internet because a reasonably determined party can find you ...or your kids ..or your property very very easily. Thanks for sharing

Crazy that it ended up being your first instinct on the second photo! great work!

Ok. The Tasmanian Devil quip won you a thumbs up. Love these detective episodes. Worthy of a comment for the engagement algo.

Thank you for another great episode! I recognized Lake Mead immediately because I have been at the exact same spot and taken a picture. I didn't remember exactly where it was (I knew it was in Boulder City) and about a year ago I went through the exact same exercise in pinpointing the location.

I love your content. Excited for the upcoming Straight liner!

6:03 was on that tower about 15 years ago. My aunt even lives almost right next to it. Great Video keep it up! (Not a Mustang, a Challenger mate)

Nice one! Honestly, thanks for the reminder to give you a like. I usually forget and don't mind the casual mention at the end.. Good luck on the mission!

Love the geo detectives series, keep em coming!

I love the standard geoguessr, thoroughly enjoy the straight line missions, but this has quickly become possibly my favorite series of yours. Know you wont see it, but ill comment for the algo. My favorite youtube channel for years now.

Love these videos !

Good luck on a straight line, matey, can’t wait to see the video

Thanks for the upload Tom 👌 make them longer please

Favourite series on all of youtube!

I would thoroughly enjoy a straight line mission in Tasmania. I love the state and it's magnificent scenery. BUT. You would be surprised at how tricky a straight line mission in Tasmania would be. So much of the scrub is impenetrable. There's a plant that's actually called 'Horizontal' which slows you right down, and can result in you hopping from branch to branch a few metres in the air. There's also dense alpine scrub in some areas - species like wiry baeura, scoparia, tea tree, hakea, cutting grass, can make for an extremely unpleasant time. I've done plenty of off track bashing in Tassie, and it's pretty draining. You would get some nice open areas though, so maybe it's doable haha. If you went up the midlands somehow, that would be possible. But you get lots of private covenant and farmland there. I would be steering clear of the southwest and much of the World Heritage Area if possible, despite the freedom to travel anywhere in those reserves.

YES YES YES.. MY fav series. MOAR!

While I love your straight line and other adventure videos, watching this video from Boulder City, Nevada gave me the most excitement out of any of your vids

Emley representing! Love the vids Tom

I've watched every episode of this over the last couple weeks after finding GW. I'm really sad that this is my final one (the actual current final one was the first one KZfaq algo provided me). I can't wait for more.

Absolutely terrific. On the second one my first blush guess was Lake Powell but using the sign was a great move!

0:55 before I watch the video... That has to be Lake Mead, no? Yep. That staining on the shore/walls gives it away.

I knew that was Lake Mead immediately - it's such an iconic view on the road to the Hoover Dam - that blue blue blue water with those hills around it.

That lake mead guess was so good! Fair play man!

Looking forward to hear more about the mission

Come to Australia for a straight line mission! Snakes will add to the risk factor nicely.

That particular design for a "Heat Kills" sign seems to be unique to Boulder City, but there are a few of them around the town, including one maybe 100m along that same road from the one you put the marker down by.

Excellent work on #2, I knew right away it was Lake Mead taken from the Boulder City area but it would have taken me far longer to find the exact location.

The best series on KZfaq!

I called the lake mead one right away!!! Pretty recognizable for anyone who has been there. Love your vids.

Proper detective work, well done!

Can’t wait for the next straight line!

Solid detective work bruv

Love your determination Tom!

Took me a second to get your double meaning with the word 'posers'. Nicely done!

I've not watched it yet, but I know it's always gonna be a great video.

Great Video. One other thing that could of been used in the first image (maybe) satellite dishes will face towards the direction of the equator

love the view from next to that tower

I got Lake Mead right away but also kept searching way too close to the lake. Good job + cheers!

Tom, I found Great Aunt's Painting at Pont Neuf, Paris. It was actually very accurate! Just want you to be able to update your spreadsheet. :)

I grew up in Boulder City, NV and I instantly recognized that picture's location and I was frustrated watching you look at other lakes before finishing Lake Mead, lol. BTW, the raised dot centerline and lane dividers that you called "cats eyes" are called Bott's Dots, and they are only used in snow-free areas of Alabama, California, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, Nevada, Georgia, Washington, and Texas (a snow plow will rip them off the road). There are a few states that use them during summer road construction, and California is rapidly replacing to have painted lane divider lines plus Bott's Dots on top of the painted lines, so Arizona was never an option and if the picture was recent, neither was California. If you knew that fact, nor was even bothering to check Lake Tahoe. Hope that trivia fact helps sometime in a future video.

Bahahahah, a straight line challenge in Tassie. Cannot wait to see that.

best series ever

Well done tom. Good ep 🎉

Lake Mead, yup I instantly called that. I do this myself sometimes for fun.... never thought it would be this popular. I feel I'm getting pretty good now and a lot of these are too easy, tho I have been training by watching all your videos. LittleHampton one I got instantly too, it's hard to explain but it seems to be subconscious photogenic memory kicking in. More GEO D Chief please

Tom you should look at some images of Lake Tahoe. Its one of the most beautiful places ive ever seen. Massive mountains and ski resorts surrounding a crystal clear lake.

love the new logo!

One of the best

Proud to say I thought it was Tasmania from the get go. Those pushes are really common on the southern end of Australia

Love these!!

Grew up going to Lake Mead several times every summer. Seeing it here was a trip.
