i am not...

are you north of Fairbanks?

uh, no...

are you at the southern-most point in Alaska, at the tip of Amatignak Island in the Aleutian Chain?

you don't have to yell, I was just making a guess :(

Are you on Bligh Reef where in 1989 the Exxon Valdez ran aground and dumped its oil? In spite of a law mandating the operation of an automated navigation light to prevent future collisions with the reef, the tug Pathfinder ran aground on Bligh Reef on Dec 24, 2009, rupturing its tanks and spilling diesel fuel. Bligh Reef is also where Alaska Steamship Company's Olympia ran aground in 1910.

It seems best to stay away from Bligh Reef except maybe in a kayak and even then, make sure you have a tight cover on your coffee mug.

i am staying away from bligh reef...

and that was not a "yell," just a neat pic i found (and i'll probably use it again...)

The "NO" didn't really bother me, unc. I was just pretending to be sensitive with feelings. It really didn't phase me and I don't give a crap if you post it again or not...well, actually I wouldn't mind seeing it. You know I like pics.

So are you at a "natural" place vs. "man made"? ...like park vs city sort of thing?

i am at a "natural" place...

and, just for shits and giggles...

glacier mountain glacier mountain.... are you on a glacier?

nope...

on a mountain?

Are you at Mt McKinley?

i am on a mountain, but not mckinley...

Mt Saint Elias?

Are you on a mountain in a national park?

are you west of Anchorage?

i am not in a national park and i'm southeast of anchorage...

are you north of Sitka?

i am north of sitka...

Near Juneau?

just north of juneau...

are you on Devil's Paw?

nope, can't even find that on a map...

I'm not sure if I'm suddenly inspired or insane. But I figure you were at Tits not long ago, so maybe this time you're at Brassiere Hills. Hmmm? Brassiere Hills

unc, did you read this book: Monmonier, Mark S. From Squaw Tit to Whorehouse Meadow: How Maps Name, Claim, and Inflame. 2006.

nope, north of juneau; and no, i haven't read that book - yet...

gunsight mountain?

nope...

i know i said i'm on a mountain, but my name is a "peak..."

Kate's Needle?

no...

Amherst Peak?

nope...

Any sort of clue about this mountain? Is it over 5,000 ft?

a clue might help

I looked through a list of Alaskan peaks and ignoring the ones that are in a national park or preserve, I didn't find any in the location I'm looking north of Juneau.

Summit in Juneau County, Alaska, USA.
Latitude: 58.81667 : Longitude: -134.26667 : Elevation: 6800 ft

Well that's a pretty good clue, unc ;)

So my guess above of Brassiere Hills was sort of the right idea but wrong conclusion.

I await your confirmation that you're on Mammary Peak.

i am on mammary peak...

Mammary Peak, Juneau, AK - Google Maps

Mammary Peak (in Juneau Borough, AK)

you're up, nick...

You must be a die hard tit man, unc. I'll need a bit of time to find my next place.

OK, where in the world am I this time?

...not up the creek without a paddle << that's not a clue, I'm just saying

Are you ....... Livin la Vida LOCA in South America?

eh?

amonkie, I was but I'm not there this time.

in the WH and NH

but not in Canada as phil is asking?

how do you know he's asking that? are you guys hiding out together or what?

I'm not in the land of eh

well that depends... are you hiding out in Mexico with me?

Híjole! Qué onda? I wish I was there.

Is it hot down there?

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g2...980-May-18.jpg

...but I'm not in Mexico

West of Mississippi?

Antarctica? nice down here... hehe

in our sofa?

yes in our sofa and west of the mrs. Zook, how's the penguins?

Landlocked state?

yes landlocked state

As you might also guess, I'm at a place of some superlative significance, though the magnitude of some aspects of its superlativeness are now somewhat debatable. I would say superlative nonetheless.

Are you in the Rockies?

north of 40?

I'm just a bit west of the Rockies, and south of the 40.

utah?

Nevada?

No penguins here....

they don't come out west...

utah would be where you would see me

not man-made, I'm a natural superlative thing

Around here they sometimes get with the western theme

are you in a national park?

are you a on a bridge?

unc, best as I can tell I'm near, but not in...and I want to clarify/alter my previous answer to Ocm?'s question about being in the Rockies since upon further research apparently I am in the Wasatch Range of the Rocky Mountains in Utah near Fish Lake and Bryce Canyon National Park.

So Ocm?, not on a bridge.

mt. nebo?

nope, not a mountain or hill or peak. think more organically

You're not in Queens Garden, are you?

http://images.travelpod.com/users/md...den-trails.jpg

capitol reef?

not in Queen's Garden, though that place looks very interesting and is now on my "must explore" list

not capitol reef

This thing, the reason I am where I am, grows.

are you in monument valley?

It looks like I'm a bit over 100 miles NW of Monument Valley. I was surprised the map says it takes almost 5 hours to drive from Monument Valley to where I am. I think it's because the area is relatively remote and not many roads so the route along roads is quite circuitous.

I think I know.... would it be: Pucker pass, near Moab?

I'd have to spread about 100 miles east to reach Moab.

So, "100 miles NW of Monument Valley" is still

oh wait, you said "over" a hundred miles...


Glacier springs?

I searched google maps and can't find "Glacier Springs" in Utah.

I gave you the name of the place I am above, though in a different language than it is commonly named. It is a living thing.

I'm a twit, You said NW, and I went N east.


sorry. I'll get back in my box now.....

One last attempt to redeem myself.. Temple of the Gods National Monument

natural bridges national monument?

nope, neither of those fine places


The name of this thing/place is actually in the sentence below but the name is in another language (i.e., not in English)

are you west of I-15?

Are you in the Koosharem Reservoir?

I am east of I-15, near Fish Lake.

I'm just east of Koosharem Reservoir.

This thing I'm surrounded by is a superlative growing living thing.

frying pan flat?

nope, but I had a nice pan fried burger for dinner tonight

here are some key word clues often used to describe this superlative living thing:

quaking
heaviest
oldest

pando?

Pando (or The Trembling Giant) is a clonal colony of a single male Quaking Aspen (Populus tremuloides) located in the U.S. state of Utah, all determined to be part of a single living organism by identical genetic markers and one massive underground root system, although whether it is a single tree is disputed, as it depends on one's definition of an individual tree. The plant is estimated to weigh collectively 6,615 tons, making it the heaviest known organism. The root system of Pando is claimed by some to be among the oldest known living organisms in existence at 80,000 years of age, though the method used to produce this estimate (an estimate on when climatic conditions were last suitable for seedling germination) is not supported by current evidence of germination..

bingo! You finally found me, unc.

I actually had a hard time finding an exact location for Pando (word means "I spread" in Latin) and this is the only location indicator I ever found:

"The Way To take in Pando’s size, park at Doctor Creek on UT 25 and climb 500 vertical feet up Mytoge Mountain on the Lakeshore National Recreation Trail. At mile three, look back to see Pando straddling the road. Continue for a 15-mile loop."


You're up now, unc.

ok, come and find me...

NH?

nh...

Jamaica?

no, mon...

heh. W or E?

yup...

first clue: i am an establishment...

edit: oops....this is not an establishment. Nevermind!
