Guesses for new set:
61. Louisiana Purchase
62. Bigdog says Kuiper Belt
63. The Gambia - I have been there and so has Amazing Race - I inadvertently booked Bigdog and I on a jungle treetop walk that I had seen on Amazing Race and commented at the time that I didn't know if I could do that. We were walking on about a foot-wide board on ropes strung among treetops, and even though you could not possibly fall to the ground, it was still terrifying. The only thing that saved me was the woman behind me was even more terrified than me, so I told her to take my hand. So, I not only did it, but I did it with one hand behind my back.
64. The Legionaires
65. Oh, Jeff somebody, it will come to me. Jeff Daniels. One of the worst movies I have seen, but I have a niece who just LOVED IT.
66. Valley Forge
67. harangue
68. The Jerk
69. suspension - I have been on it many times, walked about halfway across it from the SF side, then returned.
70. Kermit
