Yes, you did in #5515. Which is why I posted in #5516

Quote:

Well the nation is made up of several islands. Am I on the largest of those islands... no.

To answer your question and say I am on one of the smaller islands in the nation.

And yes I am on Isla de la Juventud.

uncle phil · 04-24-2009, 03:37 AM

santa fe?

Tully Mars · 04-24-2009, 05:06 AM

No, running out of towns on this tiny island.

BadNick · 04-24-2009, 06:41 AM

Nueva Gerona?

NG is the capital city of the Isla de la Juventud special municipality of Cuba. The city is located between the hills of Caballos and Casas, about 3 km up the Río Casas, which provides a navigable waterway to the Caribbean Sea.

The city was founded in 1830 by American pioneers. There is an American graveyard in Nueva Gerona to this day.

...in case this isn't right, here's some more towns to guess next time:
Other communities are Columbia, Mac Kinley, Santa Bárbara, Cuchilla Alta, Punta del Este, Sierra de Caballos and Sierra de Casas. The island was called the Isle of Pines (Isla de Pinos) until being renamed in 1978.

Tully Mars · 04-24-2009, 08:57 AM

Nueva Gerona is where I am and will be later this summer. I'm joining a dive team to do some reef research just off the north end of the island. This was tentatively planned a couple years ago but couldn't get the travel permits. Oh how things have changed. I could have always hopped a flight from here but the majority of the team is due in from the US. They got their permit last month, so it's go this summer.

You're up Nick

BadNick · 04-24-2009, 10:56 AM

Tul,
While you're there maybe consider buying some art from local artists in Cuba...and maybe you too can end up with a sort of valuable and interesting painting of a giant penis.

Cigars...for unc, and me!...I can PM you my free UPS shipping acct. number if you end up with any....good buddy

OK, where in the world am I this time? Hurry up, I'm shivering from excitement!

Tully Mars · 04-24-2009, 11:17 AM

Bellingshausen Station, Antarctica?

I can get all the Cuban cigars you want, not sure if they'll make it through customs via UPS.

BadNick · 04-24-2009, 11:35 AM

great first guess, but no, since a qualification that I hadn't yet mentioned, figuring you guys would not even be close for a couple pages, is "other than polar regions"

uncle phil · 04-24-2009, 11:59 AM

frostbite falls, minnesota?

BadNick · 04-24-2009, 12:52 PM

no, but does ring live near there? I think it's snowed a lot where she is but she has not reported frostbite, fortunately.

uncle phil · 04-24-2009, 01:11 PM

i think ring lives somewhere around wooly-bear, wisconsin...

NH?

Tully Mars · 04-24-2009, 01:22 PM

BadNick · 04-24-2009, 02:45 PM

yes NH

Not WH

Tully Mars · 04-24-2009, 03:16 PM

Asia? Not the band the place.

uncle phil · 04-24-2009, 03:25 PM

your rope?

BadNick · 04-24-2009, 07:25 PM

I was at the end of my rope but now I'm in Asia

uncle phil · 04-25-2009, 02:00 AM

in a country that borders an ocean?

BadNick · 04-25-2009, 07:31 AM

MacGuyver · 04-25-2009, 10:02 AM

fine china?

BadNick · 04-25-2009, 01:47 PM

hopefully to add to my rose medallion collection, but no

MacGuyver · 04-25-2009, 05:22 PM

korea (n/s)?

uncle phil · 04-25-2009, 05:34 PM

indian ocean?

BadNick · 04-25-2009, 08:52 PM

not any korea. Yes country touches the indian ocean. Once you get the country, I'm at a significant geological feature.

MacGuyver · 04-25-2009, 10:19 PM

might as well start with india

uncle phil · 04-26-2009, 03:22 AM

island nation?

BadNick · 04-26-2009, 08:32 AM

not island but the mac attack is on...yes india

This geologic feature plays into my previous "clue":

BadNick · 04-26-2009, 08:01 PM

no...head north and if you're driving it will take you over 30 hours non-stop

uncle phil · 04-27-2009, 12:26 PM

i was going to say "khyber pass," but i believe that's situated between pakistan and afghanistan, unless you want to bend history back a few thousand years...

i got nothin'...

BadNick · 04-27-2009, 05:32 PM

Khyber Pass is in the neighborhood, but go east roughly 300 miles, just above Jammu and Kashmir and think of what might be here that there are large ones in the polar regions but this is the largest in the world outside the polar regions.

uncle phil · 04-28-2009, 02:17 AM

uttaranchal glaciers?

BadNick · 04-28-2009, 03:48 AM

you're cold but you got the right idea with glaciers. But Uttaranchal is NOT the largest non polar glacier in the world. Go NW about 300 miles and bring your skiis.

uncle phil · 04-28-2009, 03:55 AM

govind pashu national park?

BadNick · 04-28-2009, 04:00 AM

go north a couple hundred miles, north of Jammu and Kashmir and look for the biggest one

uncle phil · 04-28-2009, 04:38 AM

great himalayan?
