There is a lot of urban crime these days.

Reply by edscott on Wed Jul 22, 2020 at 12:29 pmWasn't really part of the plot. One of the FBI Officers was Orienteering with his daughter. The word Orienteering was used and they showed a control flag.. not much else.

Reply by sfmones on Wed Jul 22, 2020 at 1:01 pmI believe in the book The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo a Swedish orienteering club was recruited to look for a body in the woods. I don't remember if that made it into the Swedish or American film versions.

Reply by furlong47 on Wed Jul 22, 2020 at 5:36 pmIt's this episode if anybody wants to see it:

Orienteering is mentioned a time or two earlier, but the actual scene with the control is at the very end. -
Reply by EricW on Wed Jul 22, 2020 at 9:34 pmI had a quick look. Anybody know where it was shot? or have a guess?I'm guessing the west side of the Hudson River, between the GW bridge (95) and the Tappen Zee (Gov Cuomo) bridge (287), many easy access points off the Palisades Parkway.
