BadNick · 04-04-2010, 07:54 PM

Back to the papyrus board.

monkie, are you somewhere related to coal mining?

amonkie · 04-04-2010, 08:16 PM

Badnick - you're absolutely on the right track.

uncle phil · 04-05-2010, 02:10 AM

are you in kentucky?

amonkie · 04-05-2010, 03:56 AM

uncle phil · 04-05-2010, 04:13 AM

are you in frankfort?

amonkie · 04-05-2010, 05:19 AM

Nope, not frankfort.

BadNick · 04-05-2010, 06:22 AM

Me and Bobby McGee used to share the secrets of our souls in Kentucky coal mines. I'm sure she'd know where you are, but somewhere near Salinas I let her slip away so we'll have to keep guessing.

amonkie · 04-05-2010, 06:25 AM

Well, on all my maps the 40 runs through TN. So, technically all of KY is north of the 40.

BadNick · 04-05-2010, 06:32 AM

which 40 are we talking about?

EDIT: OOPS, NOW I SEE YOU MUST MEAN HIGHWAY 40 WHICH RUNS THROUGH KNOXVILLE AND NASHVILLE.

OK, as you were and I'll keep searching.

amonkie · 04-05-2010, 06:39 AM

hahaha

now YOUR confusion makes sense.

That's monkey sense for ya!

uncle phil · 04-05-2010, 10:14 AM

covington?

amonkie · 04-05-2010, 10:23 AM

Not in Covington.

If you find some falls... and take a little trip from there, you'll be pretty close to where I am.

uncle phil · 04-05-2010, 12:59 PM

laurel river dam?

amonkie · 04-05-2010, 06:23 PM

Nope.. I'm feeling more like i'm in the boonies.

BadNick · 04-05-2010, 07:01 PM

Are you at the Kentucky Coal Mining Museum's Portal No. 31 underground mine?

you mean like Daniel Boone National Forest?

amonkie · 04-06-2010, 03:49 AM

Badnick - not in mine 31 - but your correct guess of the clue above will definitely get you closer to the mine I AM at.

BadNick · 04-06-2010, 10:26 AM

are you actually in the Daniel Boone National Forest?

amonkie · 04-06-2010, 11:11 AM

Yes I am.

BadNick · 04-06-2010, 11:20 AM

sorry if this makes you hunt around, but are you in the Cumberland District?

amonkie · 04-06-2010, 11:31 AM

I'm a lot closer to Graceland than the cumberland district would put me... In fact if I was a bird I could probably see Tennessee.

uncle phil · 04-06-2010, 12:32 PM

are you in the redbird ranger district?

amonkie · 04-06-2010, 06:50 PM

Not in Redbird....

And I definitely don't see London.. or France.. or Badnick's Underpants!

BadNick · 04-08-2010, 12:02 PM

I'd like to just say that I was not scared-off or intimidated by amonkie mentioning my underpants. I was simply busy with an important business client and didn't have much free searching time...though we did manage to polish off some good food and a couple bottles of cabernet.

OK, back at the ranch: 'monkie, so you must be in the Stearns District of the park?

amonkie · 04-08-2010, 03:37 PM

You would be correct!

and I hear that guys with Batman on their underpants are always cooler anyways, so you got nothing to worry aboot.

uncle phil · 04-09-2010, 03:33 AM

Natural Arch Scenic Area?

amonkie · 04-09-2010, 04:20 AM

Badnick was on the right track earlier - I am in a mine in the Stearns ranger district.

uncle phil · 04-09-2010, 04:29 AM

barren fork?

amonkie · 04-09-2010, 04:42 AM

BadNick · 04-09-2010, 05:44 AM

edit: ok, I wasn't paying attention so skip this first guess that unc already tried but I got so involved in my search I forgot!

are you at the Barren Fork Coal Mining Camp?

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, Barren Fork Coal Camp was a major coal mining community in the early 1900s. Now part of the Daniel Boone National Forest, Barren Fork includes trails, horse camp and historic and cultural experiences to visitors.

are you at Barthell Coal Mining Camp? ...and how did you know about my Batman underwear!?

Dating back to 1902, Barthell Coal Mining Camp was the first coal camp established in the region by the Stearns Coal and Lumber Company. After being abandoned as an operational coal mining camp, it was purchased by the Koger family who restored the camp to the look and feel it held in the early 1900s period. Today, visitors can tour into the mine, eat in the Coal Miner's diner, or even rent one of the miner's cabins.

amonkie · 04-09-2010, 05:45 AM

Nope again to Barren Fork - but I am near a river bearing Fork in its name...

BadNick · 04-09-2010, 05:50 AM

oops, see above that I edited as you were replying to my wrongness.

amonkie · 04-09-2010, 05:53 AM

Badnick - I have superpowers!

And i'm not at Barthell, but you are very very close. When I'm feeling a little blue.. this place doesn't do much to cheer me up, that's for sure.

uncle phil · 04-09-2010, 09:50 AM

churchill downs?

amonkie · 04-10-2010, 04:55 AM

True... Churchill downs could qualify as a money mine. But Nope, I'm out in the wilderness at this mine.

Blue Heron Mining Community/Camp?

amonkie · 04-10-2010, 04:27 PM

That would be correct!

Quote:

ALSO known as Mine 18, Blue Heron was a Stearns Coal & Lumber Company-owned coal mining camp supported by Mine 18. It is located on SH 742, nine miles southwest of Stearns at the west end of Mine 18 Road, in the Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area.

It was in operation from 1937 through December 1962. At its peak it employed 300 miners, and was carved into the side of a mountain overlooking the Big South Fork of the Cumberland River. The camp consisted of wooden homes, a store, church and school. The buildings have been restored and the site is operated as a concession in the Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area.

When Blue Heron was abandoned in 1962, some structures were removed and others were left to the elements, which rapidly took their toll. In the 1980s, the coal camp was rebuilt as an outdoor museum to show what the town looked like at its prime. The rebuilt structures are not recreations of the original buildings, but open shells called "ghost structures," which were built where the originals once stood. They were also built as close as possible to the originals in size and orientation. Inside each of these coverings, an aspect of life in the community is showcased. The National Park Service (NPS) has installed audio programs along with the static displays, creating a true museum to old King Coal.

BadNick · 04-11-2010, 07:41 AM

OK, I'll come up with a new place later today.

BadNick · 04-11-2010, 10:23 AM

ok, where in the world am I? sssshhhhhh. don't make any noise

BadNick · 04-12-2010, 05:49 PM

I guess I was so quiet nobody heard me? sssshhhhhh
