I'm sure the building I'm in has handicapped restrooms but alas it's not a hotel or motel.

Oregon, the Beaver State! Tul, are you north of Salem?
btw, thinking I might find a beaver shaped building or something like that, I searched "oregon beaver" and you'd be surprised...or maybe not... at why they call Oregon the beaver state. |

Do you mean Route 5?-
Or I-5?- I-5's highlighted in red. Either way, doesn't matter, I'm west.

I meant I-5...I even wrote I-5 and then changed it to Rt. 5 not knowing there was also a state rt. 5. So is it possible to be at the intersection of 5 & 5? <<<< that's not my game question!
I've searched quite a bit but still can't find an "interesting" building you might be in that is a few miles from a town. I can only narrow down the area: Are you south of Rt. 26? |

Mainly I'm telling you this because my uncle went from unemployed to employed because of the CCC and worked on this highway. But you could make a WWII connection to the building I'm in even though it was built more recently. BTW- you guys better find me today I'm going diving tomorrow, back to Mahahual for a few days then back to Merida for Carnival then I'm off to Belize. Once I get to Belize I should have the Net again but that's going to be a week and half at least.

Are you at the Tillamook Air Museum? ...if not, maybe I should be living in Idiotville, Oregon
Even though I have my doubts that you're here since the building is not really "recent", I'll post it anyway since it looks like a pretty cool museum: Tillamook Air Museum There are a bunch of cool airplanes at the museum: 1938 Bellanca Air Cruiser P-38 Lightning PBY-5A Catalina F4U-7 Corsair TBM Avenger SBD Dauntless L-29 Delphin A-26 Douglas Invader J2F-6 Duck PV-2 Harpoon AM-1 Martin Mauler Bf-109 Messerschmitt P-51 Mustang P2V-7 Neptune C-47 Skytrain AD-4W Skyraider ERCO ERCOUPE 415-C PT-17 Stearman Boeing 377 Stratocruiser (Mini-Guppy) T-6 Texan FM-2 Wildcat F-14A Tomcat A-7 Corsair II A-4B Skyhawk Fairchild GK-1 Kaman HTK -1 Helicopter Nord 1101 Bell Helicopter Cessna 180 Chris-Teena Mini-Coupe Alien Blimp Quickie homebuilt Ki-43 Oscar Mikoyan-Gurevich Mig 17/Lim-6 See one of America's finest collections of over 30 War Birds including our P-38 Lightning, F4U-Corsair, P51-Mustang, PBY Catalina and SBD Dauntless dive bomber. Climb into a jet simulator! Explore our exhibit hall that features rare historical wartime and aviation artifacts including pieces of the great German airship the Hindenburg and a WWII Luftwaffe flight jacket. Have lunch at our 40/50's Café. Enjoy shopping in our aviation gift shop. All housed in a rare World War II Blimp Hangar...the largest wooden structure in the world! Length: 1,072 feet Height: 192 feet (over 15 stories) Width: 296 feet Area: Over 7 acres (enough to play six football games) Doors: 120 ft. high, 6 sections each weighing 30 tons. 220 ft. wide opening. The sections roll on railroad tracks Catwalks: 2 catwalks, each 137 ft. above the hangar deck In 1942, the U.S. Navy began construction of 17 wooden hangars to house the K-class blimps being used for anti-submarine coast patrol and convoy escort. Two of these hangars were built at the Naval Air Station Tilllamook, commissioned in December 1942 to serve the Oregon-Washington coastal area. Construction of the two hangars was rushed to completion. Hangar "B" was the first one built and was completed in the spring of 1943. Hangar "A" which was destroyed in a 1992 fire, was completed in only 30 days. Amazingly, there were no serious injuries or deaths on the whole project. Stationed at NAS Tillamook was Squadron ZP-33 with a complement of eight K-ships. The K-ships were 252 feet long and filled with 425,000 cu. ft. of helium. With a range of 2,000 miles and an ability to stay aloft for three days, they were well suited for coast patrol and convoy escort. Naval Air Station Tillamook was decommissioned in 1948. Since 1994 the remaining hangar has been home to one of the top five privately owned aircraft collections in the nation. |

There isn't an airfield here... which is very, very odd. There's one real close, but not exactly here.

First note I edited above to say "not exactly here."
And I'm not in Beaverton but if you consider 35-40 miles close, then I'm close.

Just asking since that's right near there and girldetective was hiding there back on page 72 of this thread. |

Hmm, pictures. I only brought my underwater camera and I'm still working out the kinks (AKA can't figure it out yet) Here's a few I took when I was on my way through here to meet up with Phil a few weeks back. Here's where I'm staying- Everythings falling apart and the door doesn't always lock. But it's got a view of the Caribbean, it's about $40 a night and it's next door to my favorite bar in Playa, Dave's Bad Boy's Bar (no, I didn't name it) Here's a view from the bar "swing"- And lastly here's a tall ship that showed up the morning I left last time. I have no idea what it is or where it's headed- So, not in a state but in the states? Are you a river or bay that is in more then one state?

I see your point, unc. But since the "east of the lady?" question was asked before determining what country or latitude other than "NH", I said "yes". I am at a longitude that is east of the Miss but I'm not in the U.S. Look a tad north.
