That’s the place! The movie has a cool scene of a Bell helicopter landing on the beach.

Sorry it was such a dodgy shot. If I guess another one , I’ll be sure to pick better - you and @Baracus250 can definitely share that one! :grinning_face:

I thought it was a grand clue, myself :slight_smile:

I would hazard a guess as one of the mesas near Monument Valley US. But no time to go search them all. Correct continent at least?

very close – go 10 to 20 miles north and 100 to 120 miles west. Its on an Indian reservation apparently. Its also fairly small – 2 to 3 hundred feet in diameter.
