Nope.. this particular mine was made famous by an event that is also currently happening at a place that smells like apples in Western New York...right next door to a sprinkles factory, no less!
|
Jerome?
|
Getting closer.. but no. go the other direction...
|
Sunflower Mine
|
MORE South... and maybe a little east.
|
Mamouth Gold Mine?
|
M's the word.. but not Mamouth.
See my previous post for a clue.. |
maybe Morenci?
|
San Manuel?
|
Bad Nick got it with Morenci Mine... my dad worked for Phelps Dodge until this all went down.

|
Mowry? ...nevermind.
Phelps Dodge must have had other operations besides mines since I sort of recall getting steel castings from them back in the late 1970's. I've had this place in mind for my next turn ...so where in the world am I? |
NH?
|
yes
|
USofA?
|
yes
It's raining so I'm planning a long walk on the beach, in the rain, soon. If I get too wet, I'll jump in the ocean and wash it off and start again. |
east of mrs.?
|
west of mrs. & north of the 40
sort of a big clue: this place has continental significance |
On a mountain?
|
continental divide?
|
not on a mountain, and a few hundred miles east of the continental divide
|
in minnesota?
|
not in MN
|
NoDak?
|
YesDak!
I'm in ND...continental significance |
are you in rugby?
|
Ya got me! Rugby is sometimes considered the "geographic center of North America" and there is a monument there, see below. Balta ND might contest that since they are officially closer.
http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g2...th_America.jpg In 1931, the town of Rugby erected a 15 feet (4.6 m) tall rock obelisk marking the "Geographical Center of North America". This was moved to a slightly different location in or after 1971. According to a listing by the U.S. Geological Survey, Rugby is actually approximately 15 miles (24 km) from the geographic center of North America [6 miles (9.7 km)] west of Balta), and even this designation carries no official status. http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g2...th-america.jpg |
balta was my next guess...
i'll come up with someplace after golf. probably tomorrow... |
hope you have a couple good rounds

|
algeria?
|

|

|
no, there is nothing of real significance about where i am except for the name...
|
Caesarea?
|
not in caesarea/cherchell, nor am i on the coast...
|
|
i am southeast of el golea...
|
since it seems like a silly name, how about are you at Fort Flatters?
|
south of fort flatters...
(you'll get it by tomorrow...) |
sadly, we're leaving OCMD tomorrow :(
one last guess before we get some real good bbq over in West OC: Fort Motylindky, Tamanghasset, Algeria? |
just northwest of fort motylinski...
|
So I was just prowling around that area and suddenly they were staring me right in the face. Since it's so appropriate for you, I have to believe you're in Tit Algeria....actually in tit everywhere but in this case Algeria Tit. I just looked for some nice images for Algeria Tit but due to unexplainable search problems, I decided not to post them in this thread.
|
damn, nick!
how'd you find me? yes, i'm looking for the other one in: Tit, Algeria - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
OK, give me a tit or two until I figure out where to go next.
unc, have you ever played golf while you were high? For example, this note from Colorado Travel Facts: • A golf ball flies on average ten percent farther in Colorado than other states because of the altitude. It flies even farther at higher altitudes (above 7,000 feet). |
there's a definite difference in ball-carry between here (1461 feet) and pasco county, florida, which is about 3 feet above sea level. humidity is also a factor in ball-carry...
aren't you enlightened? |
enlightened ...and lost. So find me.
|
nh?
|
yes, and eh, too.
|
your rope peein'?
|
I'm looking down at my pants and on the floor, but I see no peein'. So nope.
|
aha...
asia? |
Island?
|
yes asia, not an island
I'm looking at quite a dramatic monument. |
anything like a great wall, in china?
|
right neighborhood, wrong monument. This monument is about a specific historic person.
|
anything to do with chairman mao?
|
no, but I have been criticized for putting mayo on my cheesesteak ...but what the hell do they know? = notin'
|
Are you with in 200 miles of the "Wall?" Not the Pink Floyd one, the Chinese one.
|
I am not within 200 miles of the GW of C. Go north, young man, go north.
|
Genghis Khan Temple in Wulanhot City?
|
Tul, now you're really close with that guess since where I am relates to Genghis Khan, but it's not the temple.
|
You at the huge ass Genghis Khan Statue near Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia?
|
yep, you found me, Tul. I like pictures...see below.
Talk about huge ass, not to mention that I had a few beers for lunch a few minutes ago so I'm talking out of my ass, may I add ...did you ever hear that tune by John Lee Hooker about big legs, tight skirt...I love that tune. Actually, I'm a huge John Lee fan http://www.nytimes.com/2009/08/03/wo...ghis.html?_r=1 Jesus Christ looms over Rio de Janeiro, a quartet of American presidents gazes from the face of Mount Rushmore and Lenin keeps watch over St. Petersburg. But if there were a global contest to honor larger-than-life men on a colossal scale, Mongolia might just vanquish them all — again. A monument in Tsonjin Boldog is the latest effort to show off an old khan. Genghis Khan, the legendary horseman who conquered half the known world in the 13th century, has returned to the steppes of Mongolia, and this time he charges admission. http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g2...ian_Statue.jpg http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g2...han_Statue.jpg http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g2...atue-ub-sm.jpg http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g2...atue-front.jpg http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g2...hisxlarge1.jpg http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g2..._o-450x337.jpg http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g2...laanbaatar.jpg You're up, Tully. While you decide where to go, I may have to go back to Tony's to try some more beers. Btw, some of you may be interested to know that the Chinese people have been brewing beer for over 9000 years. They must really know what they're doing by now, don't you think? |
Yes I like John Lee Hooker too. Also like this guy-
OK, Find me. |
are you in a gada-da-vida, baby?
|
No, but you could be close... since I can't remember where that would be. I know I knew it once but that was the day I played Black Sabbath at 78 and saw God.
|
