Well, my initial guess seemed so smart and even smarter when I looked there, because it has all the same elements. But it was not correct. :o

I'd share it, but instead I think I have to PM it to Scott for a future contest, cause it's so cool.

Catenary, oil tanks, and an eastern coastline (?). Seems easy, but I've spent too much time on this stuff lately. ;)

Doubtful.. There's some shipping docks at the water--there's no serious shipping over the water from that part of Nebraska.:tb-tongue:

Dang! That's the second time I've looked along the right coast but not been thorough enough in my search. (The other was the Hudson Bay one.)

Congrats Ulie! (And if you knew where my other guess was...;) )
