I haven't looked and I won't, but I'm damn well going to ask you how the heck you did that after the round is over. I'm pretty much out of leads.

The first thing about these pictures is that when I saw them, I knew it was "The South". There's a particular feel to the South-East of the USA (MS->SC roughly) that's familiar enough for me to recognize. Finding "Sub Station II" took me a little time, but once I had that, it went fairly fast to find what country store (*) is next to a sub station II. In fact, google the two gave me a result named "Zeke's Country Store", and I was pretty sure before street viewing it that I was done.

(*) "try store" is readable, and there aren't a lot of words that end with "try" in 5 or 6 letters that make sense.

Damn! I got to the same point, and even did the same search ("Sub Station II" "Country store"), and I even spotted "Zeke's Country Store" in the first result. But I assumed it was just a list of stores in the area (from the title of the page), because I was (wrongly) certain from the pattern of the blur that the store was called "Roy's" or "Ray's".

There was another way to do it using the last image, but it was longer: the road has 2*3 lanes, with a safety on the left, so it's most likely an interstate (and a bigger one at that, so a multiple of 5).

I didn't even need to go that far - there's an Interstate sign visible in the picture, and I was able to tell it ended in a 5. But interstates are huge, and long, and I couldn't find any easy and quick way to get a list of which ones have how many lanes and for how long (it didn't help that it was Shabbat and I lost 25 hours of computer access for religious reasons, plus half of Friday that I spent cooking in preparation, so I wasn't going to waste time brute-forcing it).

The shadows are fairly short, and tell that the picture was taken aiming east or north east, which means you're on an interstate IX5 northbound or IX0 eastbound. I10 and I20 (using the fact it's "The South") are mostly 2x2 lanes and have only small sections on 2x3. There's also I40 (but it's a bit too up north), I65, I85, a bit of I95; I75 is out because it goes south-east.

Damn, you're good at this. I need to learn this shadow trick - I tried to use it but couldn't think of any useful narrowing.

Also, round 7 found obviously.

Yeah, this one's almost depressingly easy, but it'll give me two days to clear my head
