Well I'm east of 17 which according to my map terms in Phoenix. But if it does keep going east I'd guess I'm north of it.

some tombstones are flat...Are you in Tombstone, Arizona for the shootout at the O.K. Corral?

oops, Tombstone is south of 10...will report back

ok, my new guess: are you in Tortilla Flats? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tortilla_Flat%2C_Arizona

Tortilla Flats is the last surviving stagecoach stop along the Apache Trail. Tortilla Flat is presumed to be Arizona's smallest official "community" having a U.S. Post Office and voter's precinct. The town has a population of 6.

Hey, if a few of us go there we could double the population!

Tully Mars

I'm in Tortilla Flats.

Yer up!

As I eat some breakfast tortillas, give me a bit to figure out a good place to be. I've been trying to do that as we go along but currently haven't found the place yet.

Ahhhl be bahk.

BadNick

OK, where in the world am I? If you don't find me you're a rotten egg.

BadNick

not any of the guesses above...not Laos, not Europe.

I did check out those Lao ant egg omletes which are apparently made with regular chicken eggs and then the ant eggs added for flavor, a mild bitterness...next time I'm in Lao or a Laotian restaurant I might give this a try.

Otherwise, where I am has nothing in particular to do with eggs other than how eggs would be related to any other random place. Forget the eggs as far as finding where I am and we can enjoy some omletes and eggs benedict after you find me...I prefer smoked salmon on my eggs benedict rather than the traditional ham < that's not a clue, I'm just saying.

Is the "Gulf of Arden" the same as the Gulf of Aden? I'm not sure.

But in fact, I'm sort of between the Gulf of Aden and the Indian Ocean. Technically this island is usually considered to be in the Indian Ocean so unc is correct.

Think "unusual, other-worldly..." to describe some features of this place.

Shell

...Socotra?

BadNick

YES! Shell found me. I'm on Socotra. You're up next, Shell.

Socotra is a small archipelago of four islands and islets in the Indian Ocean off the coast of the Horn of Africa some 220 miles south of the Arabian peninsula, belonging to the Republic of Yemen.

Socotra is one of the most isolated landforms on Earth of continental origin (i.e., not of volcanic origin). The archipelago was once part of the supercontinent of Gondwana and detached during the Miocene, in the same set of rifting events that opened the Gulf of Aden to its northwest.

Socotra is considered the "jewel" of biodiversity in the Arabian sea. The island was recognised by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) as a world natural heritage site in July 2008.

Maybe because you folks were so focused on "eggs", I notice there's a large yellow egg just south of Socotra.
