are you near a lake?

BadNick 03-26-2010 05:35 AM

yes ...unless I was a lot smaller, it would be hard for me not to be near a lake

about not seeing me if you're flying over, I'd like to "correct" that clue since if you had super sharp eagle eyes you might see teeny little parts of me

amonkie 03-26-2010 09:42 AM

Are you in Deschutes national Forest?

uncle phil 03-26-2010 11:37 AM

are you a monument/statue?

BadNick 03-26-2010 12:10 PM

amonkie, I'm in a national forest but not that one.

unc, I'm a natural thing in a natural habitat...a superlative natural thing. Not man-made at all. You probably know by now I have a thing for superlative things.

amonkie 03-26-2010 04:24 PM

Are you at Crater Lake?

uncle phil 03-27-2010 01:40 AM

mt. hood?

BadNick 03-27-2010 11:42 AM

no and no

hmmm, more clues needed. champignon

amonkie 03-27-2010 06:00 PM

I thought for sure Crater Lake.. especially since their website even said it could only be described with superlatives! :p


Are you in Hell's Canyon, the deepest river gorge in North America?

BadNick 03-27-2010 08:18 PM

nope.

the champignon clue is crucial.

uncle phil 03-28-2010 02:13 AM

central point?

BadNick 03-28-2010 07:00 AM

Not in Central Point, OR. Though now I know that Branden Rickman, 18, winner of Make Me a Supermodel (season 2), lives there. But he's not the superlative organism I am surrounded by...literally, since this one takes up a very large area.

amonkie 03-28-2010 07:29 AM

Are you at the Armillaria in the Blue Mountains, covering 2,200 acres?

Quote:

To go into the forest where this giant makes its home you would not look at it and see a huge, looming mushroom. Armillaria grows and spreads primarily underground and the sheer bulk of this organism lies in the earth, out of sight. Occasionally, during the fall season, this specimen will send up golden-colored "honey mushrooms" (see photo, above left) that are the visible evidence of its hulking mass beneath. Scientists have not yet begun to attempt to estimate the weight of this specimen of Armillaria.

BadNick 03-28-2010 07:38 AM

amonkie, that's the fungus among'us! You found me, you're up next.

This mushroom is widely considered to be the largest organism in the world:

A mushroom of this type in the Malheur National Forest in the Strawberry Mountains of eastern Oregon, U.S. was found to be the largest fungal colony in the world, spanning 8.9 square kilometres (2,200 acres) of area. This organism is estimated to be 2,400 years old. The fungus was written about in the April 2003 issue of the Canadian Journal of Forest Research. While an accurate estimate has not been made, the total mass of the colony may be as much as 605 tons. If this colony is considered a single organism, then it is the largest known organism in the world by area, and rivals the aspen grove "Pando" as the known organism with the highest living biomass. It is widely believed that if BadNick keeps eating pizza, he will soon surpass the Armillaria as the largest organism that has ever lived on Earth

amonkie 03-28-2010 07:48 AM

Man that was quite the challenge! And share some of that pizza wouldya.

Off to find a hiding spot, back in a bit.

amonkie 03-29-2010 03:33 AM

top o the mornin to ya... and where am I?

BadNick 03-29-2010 08:02 AM

amonkie 03-29-2010 08:16 AM

I thought about it, but nope, not on an island.

BadNick 03-29-2010 08:23 AM

amonkie 03-29-2010 08:23 AM

BadNick 03-29-2010 11:39 AM

uncle phil 03-29-2010 11:56 AM

mt. washington?

amonkie 03-29-2010 12:21 PM

Not in the sofa... I decided I'd rather spend some time looking at a different body of water than lake Michigan.

BadNick 03-29-2010 12:26 PM

so are you looking at a lake somewhere?

amonkie 03-29-2010 12:30 PM

I can see at least 2 lakes.. but they are not the only bodies of water I can see.

uncle phil 03-29-2010 12:40 PM

in the maritimes?

amonkie 03-29-2010 12:41 PM

nope.. not in Canada

BadNick 03-29-2010 12:48 PM

in Asia?

amonkie 03-29-2010 12:50 PM

Last I checked Asia wasn't in the Western Hemisphere... but hey, I'm all for a new world order!

BadNick 03-29-2010 12:55 PM

oops

SH?

amonkie 03-29-2010 12:56 PM

Nada to SH... But I am really digging these clouds.

BadNick 03-29-2010 12:57 PM

are you in Central America?

amonkie 03-29-2010 12:58 PM

that would be an affirmative :)

uncle phil 03-29-2010 01:49 PM

amonkie 03-29-2010 03:16 PM

to pil - no.. my i should make my own lake and name it that.

I am not actually AT a lake.. but I can see these bodies of water from where I am... on a good day.

BadNick 03-29-2010 07:03 PM

uncle phil 03-30-2010 02:31 AM

costa rica?

amonkie 03-30-2010 05:12 AM

Costa Rica I am ... Actually I'm pretty glad I'm here and not in Iceland right now.. things are warming up over there!

BadNick 03-30-2010 06:19 AM

might you be in Chirripó National Park?

amonkie 03-30-2010 06:23 AM

Nope
