I have no freaking idea.

Fort Charlotte?

Really? I probably (inadvertently) dropped the biggest clue so far.

You're closer Tully, by looking outside the capital, but still not quite there. Given the history of Fort Charlotte, I almost wish I was there; maybe after you've found me, I'll hop a ferry to the battlesite.

Belmont?

pretoria?

neither of the above.

st. hilaire?

Clare Valley? ...though I have no idea why, just a wild guess

Port Elizabeth? Why? I have no idea either.

Yargh :(

It feels as though I'm leading y'all around in a circle, but I'm honestly trying to not. I'm near the capital Kingstown, remember; the Port Elizabeth guess finally pegs my correct island. :thumbsup: (although in terms of orientation, I'm nowhere near it.)

Last thing I have to say is to try to recall what day I took over this round, and it should evolve into a clear spot where I am, and why I'm there.

I know the movie Pirates of the Caribbean and sequels were filmed in St. Vincent and the Grenadines...and the last of the trilogy, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, was released worldwide on May 24, 2007 so perhaps that's the "May 24" connection Mr. Jet has alluded to.

Are you being a pirate at St. Vincent Botanical Gardens, one of the oldest botanical gardens in the Western Hemisphere...I might add "preceded only by Bartram's Garden in Philadelphia"?

la pompe?

sorry, I'm not a pirate in the Caribbean, BadNick, nor am I am at the botanical gardens, though that was some interesting info on the subject.

I'm not in La Pompe either. Well, since no one is going to utter redunancy and say I'm on Bequia, think of the all the different Bays on the island; in-between two of them is where I have been hiding all along.

on this close-up of the islands I see a spot marked "Jetty"...might that be you floating off the dock in the bay?

there's also a "jetty" over by the old fort at the western end of belmont road...

could thet be it?

Agai, very creative findings on the island, nick and phil, so creative in fact that I wish I thought of it first, but alas, I'm Not There


Here's a simplified map of the isle of Bequia, may it serve you well:

I'm still not catching the connection to the date you took over this series.

I'll take a shot at The Old Hegg Turtle Sanctuary...?

And you would be correct! I am indeed visiting The Old Hegg Turle Sanctuary, though I've overstayed the visitation by a few days, to celebrate this past weekend's World Tutle Day (May 23rd). Founded by Brother King, the conservatory is his new life's mission, and has dedicated his life to safely releasing endangered Hawksbill turtle hatchlings into the nearby waters.

Although I had many other beautiful places in mind (namely, Micronesia, Rochester, among others) to properly commend worldwide efforts to preserve and honor the majestic & varied species of turtles, I thought to hit closer to home to a place I've actually toured around in a past life.

Well done, Nick. The world is now yours. (Though, remember, I'm still King of Bequia ;) )

Hail to the King of Bequia who seems to have a sympathetic dome head somewhat like a turtle shell! I'm now sorry I missed World Turtle Day, especially since that third from the left reptile above is quite like my own Franklin, a red-earer slider. We got Franklin about 9 years ago when he was about 3" long and now he is over 10" long. Last year he...errrr she...laid an egg in her aqua-terrarium which I found amazing since Franklin...errr Franklina...has not even seen another turtle since birth. If I was near Bequia I would let Franklina free there but up here the winters are a touch too cold for her. I'm now setting up a kiddie pool in our yard as a temporary outdoor home for her and we'll bring her back inside to her tank early next Fall.

OK...where should I go this time? I'm accepting suggestions, but in the meantime, please give me a bit to come up with a good one. So I'll retreat into my shell ...hey, hi Shell!...and let you know when I'm there.

OK, where in the world am I?

stewartstown, pa?

I should go there if that's where Stewart's Black Cherry Wishniak soda comes from since that's one of my favorite liquids

but that's not where I am now.

NH?

yes

WH?

(grunt...)

no

(smile while you grunt...)


PS: Now I feel for ya, unc. So don't tell anybody else but I'm in Asia

...i heard that :paranoid:

...an island?

cheater!

not an island....remember that song "I am a rock, I am an island..." well I can't really say 'm not a rock.

...Mt Everest?

in the himalayas?

China?

no no no ...I'm not ususally so negative but you're all just so wrong.

gibralter?

no :( But I'm somewhere between Gibraltar and Everest :)

...India?

...middle east is my next guess...is that allowed? Two in one? (i'm new, don't make me stand in the back of the class)

masada?

though some have been known to frown on two-fers in this thread, I say "what the hell Shell it's only a game"

So Shell is getting in the neighborhood with "middle east" ...and then unc's "masada" is even closer...but it's neither of those places. It is an ancient, historically significant place, though.

peshawar, pakistan?

...Khyber Pass?

neither of those, too far east...you were warmer near the Mediterranean Sea.

Italy?
