Where in the world is Sully800? {Winner: BeckytheBlondie}

Sully800 is stuck in our world. Last night, he went through a little girl's closet door, planning to scare her and harvest her screams, but when he yanked back the covers he found Chris Hansen instead, who told him to have a seat.

Needless to say, Sully ran out the door as fast as his fluorescent blue hide could move. He ran until he was too tired to run anymore, and promptly fell asleep in someone's driveway. The sun woke him up this morning, and he's completely disoriented. He needs help figuring out where he is, so he can get Mike to open up another closet door back to Monstropolis.

You may use 20 yes or no questions to narrow down Sully's exact location. The winner will provide the street address where Sully is standing.

In order to encourage participation (and perhaps conserve precious questions), every question must be seconded before it will be answered. As long as questions are seconded, they can all be asked by the same person, or any number of people.

Your biggest clue is a snapshot of Sully's location from Google Maps Street View.

Good luck, and happy hunting!

Ideally we want to narrow by hemisphere first, but in this case, no other country in the world has two car garages like the USA... It may be safe to ask if he's in the Continental USA for the first question...

Rephrase this as "Is Sully in the continental US?" and I second it.

By the way, if sevendeuce is going to keep using google maps, the only places in the world with google street locations are USA, Mexico, Canada, EUROPE, OCEANIA, Taiwan and JAPAN. http://maps.google.com/help/maps/streetview/where-is-street-view.html

Why waste a question? It's not in the rules that I need to make the question to cover such a large area

On closer inspection, you are correct. Apparently a hilly area.

Note, maybe this is Hawaii?

Exactly my point.

My argument is that without any clues we'd want to narrow down by cutting the world in half. Using the clues given, we can assume that Sully's in the US. I am concurring with your question.

I think it's going to be a country with a warm-weather climate (notice the vegetation in the front yard).
