No, but I love that song. The day I got my clarinet I learned how to play that before even taking any leasons.

I'm a bit SW of the main part of the Red River Valley.

so you are in texas?

I'm just limping around north of Texas, south of the Dakotas

is your knee wounded?

the way I'm walking you would think so...but I'm not at Wounded Knee.

is your arrow broken?

there's always Viagra! ...but no, it's not broken yet

and I'm not someplace related to bow or arrows or any weapon.

the "limping" and "way I'm walking" were clues...the name of the place suggests a kind of handicap

oklahoma?

:wave: Bowlegs, Oklahoma?

sorry folks, nope.

hi Shell!

so the name of this place is in the song title, and the title includes a word like lake, stream, creek, river...that sort of fluviality flowing forever forward findme

cripple creek, colorado?

(been there, by the way...)

...i think you nailed it, unc :thumbsup:

nah, nick'll come up with someplace like "broke-my-water-in-her-elbow" rapids somewhere in iowa...

well I've been in an elevator in Pennsylvania Hospital when her water broke, but not in Iowa.

But you got me, unc. I'm up on Cripple Creek in Colorado Up on Cripple Creek - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia



You're up, unc.

thanks...

i'll come up with something today...

..... :lol:

aunt phil and i are leaving for cancun sunday afternoon and won't return until the following sunday afternoon. i don't think it would be fair if i came up with the "obscurity of obscurities" and left you guys hanging for over a week with no feedback to your input. nick, i'm going to pass the torch to shell this time and will earn my spot back after our return...

shell, you go girl...

I hope you and auntie have a great vacation time there, unc. Let's see what Shell comes up with.

you do...

and Just in time for me to get back into the fray!

Crazy week, kept peeping in and never had a chance to put in a guess of my own.

So where ya Shell?

:wave: hi amonkie!

Wait. Is that a trick question? :p ...You tell me. Ohh, you thought you'd catch me off guard and I'd tell. Okay, I'm on board. I'm at a natural monument somewhere in the world. It resembles someone or something. I'm a little rusty at this so go easy on me....but I do know that I'm in the northern hemisphere.

Oh, and uncle phil, thank you and have wonderful time with auntie phil in cancun. Now, you be sure to wine and dine her with a lobster dinner...I hear they're cheap and yummy down there. Maybe I could come and be your chaperone?

Mt Rushmore?

nope...wrong side of the world, amonkie

Shell, are you in Asia?

yes, BadNick

Thailand?

land-locked country?

I'm still searching, but here's my longshot guess in the meantime:

Shell, are you on this mountain?

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g2...usaCEE2208.jpg

Mount Kailash, Ngari region, Tibet
Throughout Asia, there is a myth of a powerful mountain, the navel of the world. Four religious groups - Hindus, Buddhists, Jains of India, and the ancient Bons of Tibet – view the 22,028 foot Mount Kailash as the most sacred pilgrimage site in Asia. For the Buddhists, the mountain's regular form resembles a gigantic natural chorten, a scared Buddhist monument with a square base topped by a dome. To Bonpo, as to Hindus, the swastika was an ancient symbol of power. On the southern face of the sacred mountain, a vertical gully intersecting with horizontal striations in the rock emblazoned the sign for the faithful to witness.

...I think it resembles Pamela Anderson before her last two breast augmentations, and I thought of her since she is right now at the Rite Aid in our neighborhood to promote some new cosmetic product that I offered to rub around on her but they threw me out :(

^ :lol:

No, I'm not in Tibet but you're getting closer and, yes, it does have to do with a hill (but only one hill...pamela anderson at your rite-aid in amish country? who wudda thunk it)

...oh, and phil, not a land-locked country

oh, and amonkie, not in Thailand

are you in china?

Yes, I am in China and it's beautiful here...very unique landscape! I hope your bags are packed 'cuz this is the day...take pics! ...and thanks again for passing the torch in your absence...hurry back

i'll guess the great wall, but it's not a "natural" formation...

No, I am MUCH further south. I'm in a Province that is as south as you can go in fact.

Are you in the Hainan Province?

no, amonkie...i forgot about Hainan since it kinda sticks out down there. You're right, that's the furthest south. You're soooo close....province-wise, that is

might you be in Guangdong Province?

No, but getting hot. You would love this place, Nick, because the landscape has the awesomeness you often show in your photographs. It's one of the most popular tourist destinations in China. But remember, I'm at a particular natural formation that resembles something...right in the city...although there are many others in the close but more outlaying areas as well...just not quite as well known as this one.

are you someplace related to these strange hills/mounds in Quangxi Province?
