I think the clue was too good. Is K.69 like a kilometer marker?
yes, it is! I said place or thing would qualify, so your turn!
Itās this:
In Galicia, Spain, 69 km before you reach the cathedral n Santiago de Compostela
Iāve entertained the idea of someday moving to that country, especially that region (if Iām right), but Iāve never seen pictures of anywhere in that country that didnāt look too hot and arid for me, even in the mountains. But that looks pretty awesome.
The hint was too good imo - like cheating.
Northern Spain is completely differentā¦much more green. Galicia has a climate much like the Pacific Northwest. Basque Country is mountainous, kind of like the Appalchians.
The hint I gave was a link to a movie about the Camino de Santiago, which I walked in 2012. ~800 km total.
Very nice. Maybe some day. Iād like to do a long walk like that. Iām looking at the weather in Galicia and it does look really good. Iām surprised itās that cool. Northern Spain is still like more south than Southern France, but I guess the Atlantic side is much cooler.
Santiago, Santander, Bilbao, and San Sebastian are all worth a visit, and itās nice because there arenāt a ton of American tourists thereā¦Americans all want to see flamenco and moorish architecture (which is also amazing). You know, typical Spain. But the people, climate, and food/wine in the North are all light years better, IMHO

i think so! He got mine.
To be clear for those who donāt care to read the whole post train, mine is of the kilometer 69 marker on the āFrench Routeā of the Camino de Santiago (69 km left to go), located in A Mamurria, Galicia, Spain. At this point, youāre about 3-days worth of walking left to go until you reach the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela, Galicia, Spain. The climate of Galicia is like that of the Pacific Northwest in the US, hence the green rainforest look of the hint picture.
hereās a bonus picture of me at the 100 km marker outside of Sarria, Galicia. Fun Fact: when you complete the Camino, the Catholic Church grants you an indulgence, meaning all your previous sins are forgiven without the need for confession or penance. However, for it to ācountā in the eyes of the church, you have to walk at least 100km of the pilgrimage. So a lot of people who donāt have time to do then entire thing start in Sarria. The camino at this point gets considerably more crowded. I have a shit-eating grin because i have already walked ~700 km, so this felt like a huge win.

Oh. I didnāt say this, but I was thinking I didnāt really get it and skydiver8 should post again. Whatās up with you people not reading my mind!?!
I will do it when I get home in an hour or so if skydiver8 hasnāt gone ahead.
Leo Carrillo State Beach?
Nope
Looks like something I saw in the Blue Lagoon in Malta
Nope. Itās on the US West Coast. I took the picture.
Iāll give yāall a clue to make it so skydiver8 has a little less of an advantage. That is all. (But you gotta get the exact spot)
lmao, I feel like I should sit this one out
They had their chance and it looks like Iād have to give them more of a clue than just itās something where you have a big advantage. Go for it imo.
It is of course Sunny Jimās Cave in La Jolla.
