uncle phil 07-29-2009 12:18 PM

in your sofa?

BadNick 07-29-2009 12:21 PM

not in my sofa...I'm sort of hovering over it right now

Shell 07-29-2009 12:43 PM

...really nick (lucky mrs nick :thumbsup: )
...is this True Confessions in real life or are
you telling us you are in a hot air balloon over the usa?


:rose:

uncle phil 07-29-2009 12:43 PM

in canadia?

BadNick 07-29-2009 03:54 PM

In spite of my previous true confessions about my afternoon delight, I am not in a hot air balloon over anywhere.

However, I am in the great land of Canada.

I hope you guys find me tonight since very early tomorrow I'm going to Toronto for a couple days and will be totally incommunicado ...though Toronto is not near where I'm hiding at the moment. I may get aggressive with clues.

Shell 07-29-2009 05:12 PM

....ontario?


:rose:

BadNick 07-30-2009 01:14 AM

not ontario....but hold that thought, Shell. This is the last time I can post until Saturday late afternoon.

I was gonna suggest that since unc had the last "yes" he might step up to hide until I get back. Or my other thought was that since you are the one with fuzzy pink slippers and red toes, you should be the one to be the tempo-hide-ee. But whatever you guys decide is OK with me. Bye for a while.

Shell 07-30-2009 02:36 AM

...i don't mind waiting and i don't mind for phil to step in as a temp...either way

...have a safe and fun trip and see you in a few days! :wave:

:cry: ...goodbyes are so hard lol


:rose:

uncle phil 07-30-2009 02:59 AM

we love ya, nick...

(okay, is he really gone? let's PARTAY!!!)


oh, quebec?

Shell 07-30-2009 05:05 AM

...i don't think it's quebec because he said he was far from toronto (then i went and guessed ontario...lol...typically NOT paying attention).

...hey, i know, since we know nick ALWAYS pics the most photogenic, most intriguing, most historical, noteworthiest news item (that banning of bottled water was the worst...:lol: ), most scenic, best wow-factor kind of locations...

...let's just guess alllll the locations in canada that are "the best...", "the most...", the top...", "the hottest...", etc. Then when he returns he'll have tons of answers to post...WE NEED TO KEEP THAT BADBOY BUSY!

...i'll start:

CANADIAN LOCATIONS:

1. Banff National Park (might as well get that one out there right now...it's drop dead gorgeous)


:rose:

uncle phil 07-30-2009 05:09 AM

the plains of abraham in quebec city?

Battle of the Plains of Abraham - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Shell 07-30-2009 05:29 AM

3. Okanagan Valley (premiere wine region and one of the warmest regions in canada)


:rose:

BadNick 08-03-2009 04:52 PM

Hi friends! I'm back. As I get my facts collected about this story, I'll tell you this supposedly true story my Canadian cousins' told me about how Canada beat the U.S. in a major battle and that led to the White House being white instead of black. Maybe some of you know that story but it was news to me.


OK, Shell's plan seemed like a good idea to pick all the coolest top spots in Canada but this place I am is more of an unusual natural feature than a gorgeous photogenic spot.

Otherwise, Shell was closest so far since I am in Alberta.

Shell 08-03-2009 05:24 PM

...welcome back BadBoy...are you in the Canadian Badlands?


:rose:

BadNick 08-03-2009 05:29 PM

Shell, that would be a big yes ...but I need you to identify the location more specifically. Thank you, ma'm.

Tully Mars 08-04-2009 02:12 AM

Dinasaur Provincial Park?

uncle phil 08-04-2009 02:20 AM

drumheller valley?

BadNick 08-04-2009 05:32 AM

guys, neither of those. I have a feeling Shell is going to get this one any minute.

uncle phil 08-04-2009 05:57 AM

The Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology?

BadNick 08-04-2009 06:15 AM

unc, not that one either.

I am not in a building or city/town. BadNick is at a natural earthly feature of unusual interest somewhere in the Badlands of Alberta. There is a somewhat vague connection between where I am now and the Nazca Lines that were part of Shell's last hiding place.

Shell 08-04-2009 07:31 AM

...does it have anything to do with one of the hoodoos? ...like Table Rock?

---------- Post added at 11:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:28 AM ----------

wait...i know...

Archaeological evidence indicates that native people camped at Writing-On-Stone as long as 3000 years ago. For centuries, native people created petroglyphs (rock carvings) and pictographs (rock paintings) on the sandstone cliffs along the Milk River. Although some of the rock art may be 3000 years old, the date of the first appearance of rock art at Writing-On-Stone remains.

...is that it?

BadNick 08-04-2009 07:34 AM

Shell, not a hoodoo but that's along the right train of thought. But not anything small like wall writing or a cave or even a settlement. This place I am is much larger and to fully appreciate it you might need to look down from an airplane or orbiting satellite. The "Badlands" connection is so close you should be able to taste it.

Shell 08-04-2009 10:17 AM

...are you resting atop a badland butte and gazing across the Milk River Canyon and rolling grasslands?...and, badnick, you are milking this for all it's worth i might add...stop groaning, Phil :p

...you said we could almost taste it...well, in 1805, Lewis and Clark named it the Milk River because the colour was like a cup of tea with a spoonful of milk in it.

...i'm guessing the Milk River because it is one of the least fragmented, most extensive, and most geologically and biologically diverse grassland landscapes on the glaciated plains of North America. Its uplands, wetlands, and valleys constitute one of the largest undisturbed grasslands in Canada....and, yet....it's on the verge of being highly developed by oil and gas companies as has already happened in nearby Cypress Hills.

uncle phil 08-04-2009 12:12 PM

horseshoe canyon?

cdwonderful 08-04-2009 12:23 PM

brokeback mountain?

BadNick 08-04-2009 12:49 PM

hmmm. Well it's none of those. My "taste" comment didn't mean to imply anything to do with tasting, just that you were oh so close.

The place I am commonly has the word "Badlands" in its description.

uncle phil 08-04-2009 12:54 PM

the ALBERTA badlands?

BadNick 08-04-2009 12:56 PM

yes, as I previously said I am in the Alberta Badlands...but I'm looking for a very specific site there. And its description is most commonly stated as "The Badlands ...." as if it needed somebody to take care of it.

uncle phil 08-04-2009 01:02 PM

The East Coulee School Museum?

Shell 08-04-2009 01:04 PM

...Badlands National Park?


:rose:

uncle phil 08-04-2009 01:04 PM

better yet, the badlands guardian near medicine hat?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Badlands_Guardian

Shell 08-04-2009 01:15 PM

...i think you nailed this one uncle phil :thumbsup: ...good job!


:rose:

uncle phil 08-04-2009 01:48 PM

thanks shell; i think i nailed it, too...

nick's probably stuck on the surekill expressway on his way home from work right now...

BadNick 08-04-2009 04:13 PM

I'm a back road man....so I avoid the surekill at all costs...except during very off-hours when it's not so bad. But due to heavy rain and flooding in some areas around here this past weekend, many of the back roads are closed for cleanup or not passable due to flood debris. Oh yea, and unc, you definitely nailed me. I am at the Badlands Guardian

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g2...sGuardian2.jpg

The Badlands Guardian is a geomorphological feature located at 50°00′38.20″N 110°06′48.32″W / 50.0106111°N 110.1134222°W / 50.0106111; -110.1134222 near Medicine Hat in the south east corner of Alberta, Canada. Viewed from the air, the feature bears a strong resemblance to a human head wearing a full native American headdress. Because of additional man-made structure, it also appears to be wearing earphones. The apparent earphones are a road and an oil well, which has been in place only a few years, and will likely become invisible once the well falls into disuse and its superficial features are eroded.
The head is a drainage feature created through erosion of soft, clay-rich soil by the action of wind and water.[1][3] The arid badlands are typified by infrequent but intense rain-showers, sparse vegetation and soft sediments. The 'head' may have been created during a short period of fast erosion immediately following intense rainfall. Although the image appears to be a positive feature, it is actually a negative feature (a valley).



You're up, unc. Go hide.

Tully Mars 08-04-2009 04:20 PM

Wow that's really cool, never heard of it. Now if that were on mars people would be screaming it's proof of alien life, go figure.

BadNick 08-04-2009 04:26 PM

Welcome back, Tul. I haven't seen you in here for a while...though I've been away myself, north of the border...I mean visiting my relatives in Toronto, not the Badlands thing above.

I hope the Martians don't get hurt feelings when you call them aliens...poor little green people :(

unc, are you in the WH?

uncle phil 08-04-2009 04:27 PM

carch me in the morning; i need to sleep on it...

and thanks, that was a tough freakin' place to find...

BadNick 08-04-2009 04:30 PM

sleep tight, don't let the bedbugs bite. Hey, did you hear about those dogs they are training to find bedbugs, which apparently are making a roaring comeback around the U.S.? There was a story I saw and read about a cute little beagle that finds them better than any other method known to man...and woman.

Yeah my DSL has just plain SUCKED. Didn't have anything all weekend. Until the beach and houses around me empty out I'll probably be lurking more then playing. Wouldn't be good to be "it" and not be able to answer questions. So plan on not seeing much of me until late Aug or early Sept.

So what's up with the "green" comment? You know something the rest of us don't? I mean how do you know they're green?

uncle phil 08-05-2009 02:34 AM

ok, where am i?

nick - yes
