Title: It's 2026 so bumped the prize to 1 Benjamin ($100), same rules as past contests
Post by: theking on January 05, 2026, 11:48:16 PM: Time for another guessing game. Same rules as past contests like one guess per PH member, the $100 prize amount is paid via money order mail to your prefer receiving address or gift card but must be able to load the gift card funds electronically to your gift card account, etc.

This guessing game expires on Friday, January 9th, 2026 at 10PM St. Paul, MN time.

***THE LOCATION YOU GUESS MUST BE WITHIN 15 MILES OF THOSE ROCKS IN ORDER TO WIN***
(Location guesses that are allowed: cantons, province, state, city, town or another rock adjacent to those rocks in the same body of water)

FIRST CORRECT GUESS WINS, GOOD LUCK!!!

Guessing Game: Where are the rocks in the photo below located?

SpaceX plans multiple Falcon 9 launches from Vandenberg Space Force Base in December 2025, with several expected to be visible from San Diego if skies are clear. These missions, often delivering Starlink satellites, typically occur in the evening or early morning, making the rocket exhaust plume visible across Southern California.

Took this photo of the sky that day and it did not clear up...
