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, 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. |

I thought for sure Crater Lake.. especially since their website even said it could only be described with superlatives!
 Are you in Hell's Canyon, the deepest river gorge in North America?

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.

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

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 |

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