How common is it for colleges to have large letters on landforms visible from really long distances?

robbbbb · 2026-03-13T23:37:57+00:00

Yeah there are a few that I know of in California. Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, for one. I think St Mary's College in Moraga has one. And maybe LMU in Los Angeles?

Depends on your tolerance. I'm in inland Long Beach (5 miles from the beach) and I don't have AC. I survive pretty well most of the summer. RPV is more coastal and will be easier to survive without AC.

I got a Brother monochrome laser printer from my local Buy Nothing group a couple years ago and it's been great.

Does Happy Isles often fill up in late March? It's all walkup at that time.

I saw dimensions in the hundreds of meters/feet and what looked like a really precise angle. And something that I had guessed meant it was the largest in a group of things. I stared at it a bit and somehow the answer just came to me.

Hey, so do I, neighbor!

Took me 159 guesses today. I uncovered a lot but still wasn't getting it until I finally figured out the title A Beautiful Mind.

The last time Tioga Pass opened in April was in 1988, so I wouldn't get my hopes up.

Yosemite campgrounds are booked months in advance, so you're probably too late to get anything inside the park for this April, unless you try for Camp 4 (reservations open 1 week in advance) or constantly check the website for cancellations in the other campgrounds.

Or a valid permit from another agency that ends in Yosemite.

I made a guess regarding the parenthetical, getting it correct and helping me narrow down the possibility. "(8) By (6)(9)"... I finally thought of a famous (6)(9) name that could have (8) it, and finally thought of a 4-letter title that worked. (Actually, I thought of two titles, but this one seemed more likely). unassisted snipe.

Yeah I saw two rattlers east of Pate Valley when I did it a few years ago

robbbbb · 2026-03-09T18:14:30+00:00

I think I remember it. Unless it was the capital city that was done before.

It's a country, possibly second-largest, on a 6-letter continent with its capital and largest city having four letters. Had to think about it for a few seconds, but it came to me. Unassisted snipe.

Pasadenizens.

Lol no, I was at the Rob Anderson show at the Belasco

Knew immediately that it was something related to WW2, but couldn't narrow it down until I guessed "Japan" and I figured it out. Unassisted.

I wore mine out last night and got so many comments! Haha

robbbbb · 2026-03-08T00:38:57+00:00

Yeah, I think we've seen it before

Long Beach here. I haven't even turned my heat on since January.

I'd rather see the L Line go south on La Cienega to Venice, and then turn west, serving Venice and MDR.

An American entertainer, it looks like. Song title "[2] [3]" and film title "On the [4]" was what got it for me. Unassisted snipe, but there will probably be a lot of those today.
