Im dissapointed some more sussy places didn't show up but I guarantee they are there if you want to play the map

[@jacobk7356]

I so happy busseyville made it on here

[@ChicagoGeographer]

Now you guys know why I knew it in the last quiz vid hahaha

[@teodorviorelveres9919]

Origins of the Name The name Zzyzx was invented by a man named Curtis Howe Springer in 1944. He claimed it was the "last word in the English language" and pronounced it "Zye-zix." He created the name as a marketing gimmick to draw attention to his desert health spa.

[@nittyclips]

I live close to Cumming, GA. When I was in high school, a Snapchat filter was released with the town name, and let’s just say it was… egregious.

[@ChicagoGeographer]

I can only imagine ☠️

[@JamieAtSLC]

There was also once an “America Runs On Cumming” sign in their Dunkin.

[@leafbelly]

I've been to Zzyzx, on my way to LA from Las Vegas. Apparently, the dude who named it said it was the last word in the English language. I don't think there's more to it than that. Great video as usual, Gav.

[@deepowls]

I posted more about it as a top-level comment. It was founded as a health spa and resort by the King of Quacks (as named by the American Medical Association). It was to be the last word in health. After his conviction, the resort was given to California State University, which converted it into the Desert Studies Center.

[@jaspinko]

omg, Lake County Cow + Busseyville road trip when???

[@nkg1190]

[@HookedOnGeo]

I‘m always looking forward to these videos! They are always so fun. Hope you‘re having an amazing trip!

[@ChicagoGeographer]

Thanks a lot!

[@CanadaBricks]

I went to Hungry Horse on my way back from Kalispell over the summer and saw that exact sign!

[@gus10janyt3]

7:25 blew my mind! thats a small town in sweden nobody ever visits and i go there like twice a year, what are the odds of that?!

[@bogorrana6757]

That war cemetery on the first map is where George Patton is buried with his troops from the Ardennes offensive

[@owenjaeckle8542]

Busseyville mentioned

[@OklahomaRailfan_Productions]

I'm new to the channel but already one of my favorites keep the videos coming.

[@elanazriel6469]

I'm surprised you didn't get Salem Sue in the Big Beef Cow rounds. She's an icon of New Salem North Dakota! Only half an hour west of Bismarck on i94.

[@willshonn394]

Manatee mailboxes are every common in FL FYI!

[@johnrobertson9181]

HOW is there an "Original Wawa Goose", and a "Wawa Goose" within 1500Yds of each other?!?!? I want my 5K!

[@Crazyclay78YT]

14:53 the double dotted yellow is never wisconsin. if someone wants, try to find a double dotted yellow, but im 99% confident theres none in WI

[@TheAlexSchmidt]

Boalsburg, PA does have a beef cow statue painted the same way, at least last time I saw

[@maximvazhenin3345]

17:31 great pun lol

[@deepowls]

Zzyzx was founded in 1944 by the "King of Quacks," Curtis Howe Springer, as a hot springs, health spa, and radio station to be the "last word" in health. He sold all sorts of snake oil treatments like Nerve Cell Food (carrots & celery), Antediluvian Herb Tea (a crude mix of laxative herbs), and his biggest seller, "Mo-Hair" hair growth medicine (90% Epsom salt, 10% crust from Soda Lake). Springer became so popular that 26% of US radio stations carried his syndicated radio show (221 stations in the US plus 106 abroad according to Wikipedia). This lasted over a couple decades. Springer was convicted in 1974 of a variety of things including squatting on federal land and false medical claims. He served 49 days of a 60-day sentence. Wee! The property at Zzyzx was confiscated and handed over to California State University, which converted the resort to the Desert Studies Center.

I'm excited you got to go to a Market Basket. Best grocery store in the country! I've also been to the one in the NH round. I recognized the back because you can see it from I93

[@Creeper_123]

5:29 "this guy looks Egyptian" moment

[@finthakilla9125]

Love the content CG 🐐

[@tomscorpion6288]

I swear this is peak KZbin content as far as Geoguessr goes.

[@sinetimore7145]

Has CG ever mentioned Chatty Belle (the world's largest talking cow statue). She's in Neillsville, Wisconsin so could be a road trip stop for him. Anyone else seen Chatty before?

[@dennisc6716]

I made a map but you'd go nuts trying to play it, as it's water tanks of San Diego County.

[@Blacksolger]

the sign with 15 mins to Vaduz was a Hiking trail sign they are allway this yellow arrows with small Writing in Swiss/Lichtenstein

[@Uncle_Buzz]

18:38 - "Hope December's treating you well ... I'm back in November?" What the...

[@jacor653]

He prerecorded some videos to post while travelling.

[@inwalters]

I don't remember why or how, but I had actually heard of Hungry Horse, Montana

[@gardnecl]

You most definitely need to see the "Big Cow" in Lake County.

[@TonesOW]

[@jss.42]

[@jss.42]

Zzyzx was given its name after Big beef cow's grand-uncle stepped on the keyboard of Curtis Howe Springer while he was naming the area.

[@feasible]

This video got posted while I was on a train back home to Virginia after visiting friends in New Hampshire for 11 days. Did I do well on that map? Of course not. Though I was honestly most annoyed by completely whiffing the western PA round like 30 minutes from where I grew up.

[@Shaquille69355]

Would love to see a "big cow" vlog

[@michaelimbesi2314]

You can’t go to Busseyville, you’ll be arrested by the Horní Police.

[@Rafaal03]

2:35 it says 15minute by walking to reach the center of city thats why its pedestrian sign not for car

[@RosyMiranto]

It will be funny if the next episode of this have people only submit Obscure Old Historical Sites to confuse Chicago

[@Owava]

I still have no idea how that cemetery is top tourist attraction in Luxembourg (or was in 2016 when this list was made I think) :D

[@heichan8657]

So that's the lore of Busseyville

[@menice6736]

Fair that you didnt know the american cemetary, but France, I mean the eifel tower 😂

[@sanderappel4499]

Absolutely gutted they didn't name her Cowey McCowface

[@AndreySavin]

Idk if anyone from Toronto is watching this, but tell me that Austin round isn't the most Toronto looking round ever? I thought this was a bridge over the GO Train tracks, like near Spadina

[@jamesr1767]

I swear I saw the word Toronto in red as well! I didn’t even question that it wasn’t Toronto after seeing that

[@PhatInAHat]

Ha - I'm pleased I managed to gatecrash the top 10 for the 'New Hampshire Roulette' map, preventing it from otherwise being unsurprisingly all US players (even though I thought I did poorly).

[@sabbialmighty7249]

where are you from?

[@PhatInAHat]

@@sabbialmighty7249 none of the Americas.

[@EnzoDragon1]

603 MENTIONED?! I've played the NH map before. I gotten all locations in the state and no where else which I was surpised about.

[@Blacid.]

[@MineRoyale.]

[@shakeweller]

[@Uncle_Buzz]

Obviously. Day trip.

[@treflippin]

[@timocuijpers2411]

There's a town in Oklahoma called Ho*ker. Very dissapointed it didn't show up smh.

[@ShimonBTY]

What was wrong with my capitalization?

[@ChicagoGeographer]

beef and cow are always lowercase, to honor the original Google Maps location name before they changed it But it's not a big deal!!

[@AstrooGeographer]

Hey, do you have a discord server, and where can I find it? And if I get geogussr pro for Christmas, just know I’ll make you some awesome maps!

[@AstrooGeographer]

Well I’m stupid, discord is the top comment.

[@gwts1171]

@WoahAstroo It happens to us all. 😄

[@AstrooGeographer]

@@gwts1171 it really does, I made the comment, went back up and saw it. I face Palmed.

[@octopuswindow]

Is it just me or is the audio offset?

[@gwts1171]

It was for me, but only for a very short time. I had a bit of frame drop, too.

[@p3rs3arsk4]

Why does he pronounce the word "but" like that? Sounds like how an Irish person would say it or something.
