We locked in with Devils Tower(captains pick, not mine). I was going back n forth between Chief and Champion. Oh well, atleast we will get 2 points just for answering the question.
 
That's the way I look at it also...2pts better than none.
Thank goodness that question is OVER!!

One more question to go and Coughing Cowboys is done!
 
oh give me a break... you are just way too fast...

more " proof" for Cheyenne..

Union Pacific "8444"
From 1962–1989, the locomotive was numbered UP 8444 due to a conflict with the railroad's numbering plan for the EMD GP30 locomotives that UP owned at the time. After the conflicting GP30 was retired from service in June 1989, 8444 was renumbered back to 844. Interestingly, the GP30 is preserved and operable[2] and there is now an EMD SD70ACe in UP's roster numbered 8444.[3]

havent started searching anyothers...

20 MAY 6TH

My answers for this week.
 
My answer for #20 is October 21st reference Moab Happenings: Guide to lodging, restaurants, real estate, shopping, more If you subtract sunrise time from sunset you come up with a rounded number 00:00:82:00 which means the difference in time is exactly to the hour. Sunrise on October 21 was posted as 7:33AM and sunset at 6:32PM almost 11 hours difference on the nose and to quote the site "Showers are active October 17-25. Peak activity occurs the night of October 21/22, one day before the full moon, with major activity October 20-24. Best time for viewing meteor activity is when the radiant constellation is overhead—usually between midnight and 4:00am. "

Being a math geek myself, I was impressed with how the one person came up with May 6th on the other site. However in my humble opinion, all you have to do is hit the stop button on the video at the appropriate time. A movie clapboard (which always has the date on it) shows up on the RH and LH side of the video clip in question. I hit the stop button at 1:00:66 on the LH side of the video, and found the clapboard and took a snip of it. The date is hard to read, so I would like others to try this and see what they came up with.
