Do drop the vid a like if you appreciate the work that went into this one, it’s been a busy month for me with all the England/Patreon editing but I was intent on giving you a big hitter this week, hopefully I’ve delivered!
I unironically like the ones where clues are so scant we're all forced to learn bits and pieces from civil engineering, dendrology, the tour boat manufacturing industry, etc.
I very rarely laugh out loud uncontrollably at anything, but "a kettle" with the look of disgusted confusion on your face had literal tears on my cheeks 😂
One important clue was that while the lake was frozen, there was no sign of snow on the trees. A lake like this does not freeze over in a day or two. So you need an extended period of very cold weather, but it also has to be pretty dry, so it doesn't snow in that time.
Good morning, a brief update for you on a previous video - the one about the photo from the Box Brownie in the Charity shop. Once my older brother saw the photo properly he immediately confirmed that the lady in the polka dot dress is our aunt and that the little girl is me, my brother is in the background. What an amazing find. Thank you for bringing it to light. I sometimes wonder what else was on the roll of film and who took the photo. We might never know.
@@makingitthrough190 have you been able to get in touch with geowizard? I think you can email him or contact him on social media somehow. If you want to and have not been able to, or need some help, let me know, I might be able to help
Reminds me of "You Only Live Twice" (1967), where Bond asks Tanaka about a grainy photo; "Can you identify that coastline?" and Tanaka replies with confidence, "Given time, yes.", which he does. That really impressed me as a kid (I mean, I still remember it!) Guess he had Tom working for him.
actually now that's a good idea for the show lol, getting tom to identify the origin of the picture (if that's possible outside of just finding movie stills spoiling it)
Solar panels (in the northern hemisphere) are usually oriented directly south to maximize sun exposure. Given that assumption and the relative orientation of the panel to the dam, the dam would be oriented in a northeast-to-southwest direction, which did indeed turn out to be the case!
oooh, that would have been a smart little bit too. And just for more context, it's likely for lighting of that little pier or something. I'm in WI, and it's pretty common that bridges and trails have solar streetlights on them.
As someone who went to school in Flagstaff I was screaming Arizona in my head. I always love how everyone assumes all of Arizona is a desert (even most people in the states). Really fun video to watch you struggle some!
Fun fact: Flagstaff, the nearby city to this lake, is the 7th snowiest city in the US. I knew this lake was in either eastern CA, NV, or AZ but when you revealed it was Lake Mary I smacked my head because I've actually been there.
Lol, I love Tom kinda losing his mind and pursuing "Frozen lake festivals", essentially something he's made-up (EDIT: I understand that festivals on frozen lakes **do** exist in the history of the world, but my point is that there was no link to the lake in the photograph. Remember, the only reason Tom started the 'festival' line of thinking was because his MS paint recreation of the bollard started bringing up image search results of garden lighting, and he started convincing himself that it was a permanent lighting fixture for when the lake was frozen! (the main evidence of the existence of these seems to be a 3D simulation of a flat plane!) With there being no true link between the photograph and frozen lake festivals, he may as well have been just googling "lake"!)
Amazingly surprised when i recognized that lake immediately as I live only a 45 minute drive from Lake Mary, in Prescott, AZ. I have visited and fished there many times! I have watched you for years and to have this pop up on a video was so cool! New favorite video! You're a legend Tom! If you ever come back to America you have to visit the west side of the country as there are infinite beautiful places to see, and Arizona is one of the most underrated states in the US.
@@lazydictionary they have buoys at that end of the lake that is a warning for small boats of the spillway up ahead. the spillway is really big, to the right out of frame. and the thing that's on the dam is a steel dock of some sort, but is closed off the anybody accessing it. if you look closely at the video you can kind of make it out, but not sure what they us it for. as for the black line across the middle I'm not sure i have never been there when the lake was frozen over and don't know what's going on there.
This was wild to watch having just moved from Flagstaff to Washington, so the first place you looked (Rattlesnake Ledge) was my most recent hike and the actual location was just down the road from my old place lmao. Incredible find, Tom you’re a legend.
Loved this video for two reasons, 1) I'm a Geography PhD with focus on remote sensing so for me your videos are a complete blast and 2) we just flew our drone at Lake Mary a couple weeks ago and shared that video on UA-cam for fun :-D
It’s Friday night, I’ve had a really dreadful week at work. Seeing a new Geo Detective has dropped has cheered me up no end. Best series on this channel.
Well I'm amazed. I saw the starting picture and thought "No chance!". There just seemed to be nothing to go on. I watched it because I've enjoyed your other stuff, but I expected it to end with failure. But OMG you found it, you actually found it. Kudos to you man. That was excellent! Great work. 👍🏻
In case future Tom does want to get distracted - that spot where you said not to, you were looking at the abandoned mineshafts of the Silver Islet mine at the end of the Sleeping Giant, near Thunder Bay, Ontario. It was one of the world's most productive silver mines in the 1890s, but the pumps were overcome by the lake, and Superior drowned her out. That's all that is left of what was once an entire man-made island with a small town.
Tom, just wanted you to know, Great Aunt's painting was at Pont Neuf, Paris! I was playing along with you when you released the video and figured it out! The painting is VERY accurate as well! Just want you to be able to update your spreadsheet and possibly do a follow up, due to how cool and accurate the painting was. Great video! My first guess was to check the Great Lakes area. Would never have gotten Arizona!
It’s definitely not accurate to Pont Neuf. Thé bridge and the building run parallel in real life, not perpendicular (you’d have to be standing on Pont Neuf in order to get that angle of the building) so seeing the bridge and building in the same frame is not possible. It’s definitely just a painting inspired by that area of Paris, but not an actual landscape
@@edanlewis5831 Stand on the bridge side of the Quai de la Megisserie right at the end of the bridge on google maps and play with the timeline, you will find that the painting is very accurate for the buildings and even the tree poking out from the walkway below! I love it!
I went to undergrad at NAU in Flagstaff, absolutely stunned to see such a random place that I've been to quite a few times show up on this series, nice effort narrowing this one down!
I went to school in Flagstaff, and in fact watched this video as I recovered from traveling back home from Flagstaff for a wedding. I had a strong feeling it was Lake Mary from the beginning but thought I was surely just mistaken from having been there this weekend. I started screaming when I turned out to be correct. Cracking video Tom, keep it up!
I was almost screaming at the screen when you got so deep down the rabbit hole of that post being a light or a stick fan lol. Can't fault the process, though, clearly good results. I was right there with you as well on that pier / bridge. I didn't see that truss between them either until you had the other photo pulled up from the side at the end. Very difficult find, to say the least!
I was blown away in the end. When you started doing photo-editing, that would have been absolutely it for me. When you said "oh good" to seeing 34 new lakes to check, id also have been done there.
Chef's kiss for The Waterboys appropriation! (And the California Girls backing track. Strawberry Fields was a bit of a stretch though...) The 'bollard' in the West Australian dam was actually the concrete water intake valve housing and would be around 8-10m tall, a bit bigger than what you were looking for!
Haha. I live in AZ and been to Lake Mary a bunch of times. When you first pulled it up I thought “ those pines and ground look like Flagstaff!” Great job Tom!
You definitely have a unique skill set and mind to be able to do this! I cannot believe how much you guessing at the trees being the right 'kind' ended up being helpful!
Mate youre a top man. Love all the geoguessr things you post. Im sure theres adventures you want to have as I do. But the more quick things you post doing oldschool stuff the better.
This was fun! I was surprised at how many high mountains you were searching in. There are not nearly as many in the pic. Nonetheless - great work! I couldn't have done it.
Honored to see the Vasona reservoir cameo. It's currently a muddy hole in the ground and it never gets cold enough to freeze but it is in the same park as the Billy Jones Wildcat Railroad.
love this series, im so glad there are other people in this world like you have have this same sort of interest and love to grind hours to find things like this
I knew right away that it must be in the Sierra Nevada as I watched the Oroville Dam failure (well, not the dam but the spillway) a few years back and the surrounding looked exactly like that and I also learned that the Sierras get A LOT of snow filling up the reservoirs for California to use at their rice fields or for drinking water I assume.
Well done, Tom! I'm from the northern midwestern US, and I was convinced that this location was somewhere around the Great Lakes region. I've spent a bit of time in the Rockies and New Mexico and I'd have never worked out that location as well as you did.
Found myself lost in a random street in Naples last week having a loooong deja vu moment whilst my friend scoured the map. It was through having watched one of your vids and you looking around exactly where I was standing 😆. Need to find it again on your channel so I will need to rewatch a few.
Watched through the playlist and all the way back at Ep9 (which is like less then halfway through the series at this point) you teased us with Hugo in the end, and NGL got curious about him... And well... We still havent done him XD
I'm far from a cold weather expert but maybe a -big clue- that could have saved you a huge amount of time is that the lake is frozen but the soil around had no snow on top of it. I might be wrong but I think northern states/countries with freezing weather also tend to have lots of rain and lakes freeze along with the ground around them. Southern states/countries, might have lakes from underground currents or rivers pulling in from mountain tops but a lot less rain, hence a no-snow exposed land around.
Tommy D, Great video, love to see the work go in. I'd like to see a segment at the end of these where you call up Yogi Yegglebirch or whomever, and show them that you found it. Maybe they even have to talk in a funny accent. Cheers.
LOL When i saw the pic, I immediately thought of Barker reservoir in Ned. Amazing just to see Tom pass through there right off the bat from google images
Amazing job, and the video spiced up with so much funny moments. I bet you didn't wanted to show up too much from the second image reverse creation due to embarrassment 😅 But honestly, I salute you for your tireless persistent! Thanks for the video!
Great work! I couldn't believe my luck, when only after a few weeks of subscribing to your channel, I noticed you'd been on the Things People Do podcast! One of my favorite podcasts. If you're still doing those straight line -walks, you should try doing that in Finland
I really thought you weren't going to find it until late in the video. Lesson learned, never doubt the incredible GeoWizard's skills and determination! I'm still in shock this was actually doable.
nice job tom! that was a tough one, glad you persisted. and you were adumant and got the job done. personally, i woulda lost my patience for sure! marbles instead of patience. :)

I read that as "big hitler" at first 😅 can't wait for the England mission 👏🏻🥳
Nah that’s next week’s vid 🤚
@GeoWizard wunderbar 😂
Any Bear Grylls impressions in the next mission? I think that's why most of us are here 😉
I think the "line" is just the water that isn't frozen yet. It gives of a reflection so I dont think much else makes sense.
loved the journey
Can confirm you've found it! Was hoping to stump you with a frozen lake, but should have known better lol. Good work!
I Took That Photo =) and I remember him telling me he submitted it back in Flag. Very wholesome to have a giddy boy showing this video to me today!
That's amazing. You gave him a run for his money for sure. :D
Tom cracked his knuckles when he said "Can't you Yogi?". Sounded like a threat to me :D
That's a hard one, I didn't think he would get it!
Thanks for spoiling it
14:01 GeoWizzard is like:
"I need a break from all this scrolling".
*Casually take a sip of water from his 20 liters bottle*
Stanley cup owners: 👁️👄👁️
Plot twist: It's not water...
HOW DID I NOT NOTICE THAT
Only Tom would use a terrarium for a water bottle.
@@imogenx5668 No, it is Varity's tears for waiting for Tom to finish this
I unironically like the ones where clues are so scant we're all forced to learn bits and pieces from civil engineering, dendrology, the tour boat manufacturing industry, etc.
I ironically disagree with you
I"M CACKLING when Tom starts spiraling with his microsoft paint masterpiece.
I very rarely laugh out loud uncontrollably at anything, but "a kettle" with the look of disgusted confusion on your face had literal tears on my cheeks 😂
he had fully lost it at that point lol
Yep, at that point he should’ve taken a break! 🤣
I lost it when he said 'gloryhole'
ngl I haven't cried from laughing in a long, long time... this did it :D
Came here to find this comment... hilarious.
17:30 "couldn't be a kettle could it - that would explain the strip of melted water" 😆
Followed immediately by asking if it was a lawn lighting instrument. That was a moment and a half 😂
@@BombsanTheCommenterone of the lights that he saw looked so much like the bollard that I thought for sure it’d be the first break in the case
Only a Brit would think they put kettles on frozen lakes... 😂
@msamour To be fair, it isn't an illogical supposition: how else would you be able to make a nice cup of tea?

@@RedstoNeman0 Maybe too easy ;-) "Somewhere near Hong Kong" versus "somewhere on Earth that has at least two people, water, and trees".
So great to see your descent into madness “a kettle, it couldn’t possibly be a kettle - although maybe that is why there is a melted line”
12:07 Tom quickly tries a glory hole and decides it isn't for him!

Well said. I agree completely!
Ditto!
As an Arizonan, the ponderosa pines were immediately recognizable! You got to it eventually though, nice work

The Water Buoys “The Whole of the Boom” was an underrated reference.
I thought that bit was hilarious, glad it wasn't just me :)
Your persistence is admirable, Tom.
This was hella funny Tom! Great submission and great all the way to the last second
The best is when a new geodetective drops and you see it's 30+ minutes. You know then it's going to be a banger
Loved the 8 bit renditions of those classic tunes. I heard obviously strawberry fields, definitely safety dance, did I hear a bit of nirvana as well?

I really thought you weren't going to find it until late in the video. Lesson learned, never doubt the incredible GeoWizard's skills and determination! I'm still in shock this was actually doable.
The wiz trikes again..... well done!
These are the best kind of videos to learn things from - it would be even better if they weren't just America but more worldwide
They aren't just America, one of the previous episodes of Geodetective featured a photo from London
nice job tom! that was a tough one, glad you persisted. and you were adumant and got the job done. personally, i woulda lost my patience for sure! marbles instead of patience. :)
Tom, well done, mate. Cheers for another great video. Keep 'em coming, and wish you all the very best! :)
Comment for the algorithm! This one was insane, your talent and dedication to finding locations is amazing!

14:26: "the whole of the boom" - I chuckled.... (I suppose that you need to be of a certain age...)
Classic episode of everyone's favorite series.
