Stick, not Florida.
Earlier on I answered Zook that I'm in the western half of North America, so definitely west of the Mississippi, our beloved Mrs. But yes in the USA as I replied to unc earlier. Back to the hunt. |

oh, yes, do it again...now you're coming the right way
where I am in CA is sort of related to something in the news recently, not directly but as another "superlative" example, as I'm wont to do in this thread. |

Dunno about over there, but here, it's either been the 40% mining tax increase, or the BP saga...

very close, but slightly east:
"...about a half-mile east of the Taft-Maricopa Highway, State Route 33..." The name of this place is noted for what is here that caused its significance, so it's not a town name. |

Stop looking at that nice ass and look at the ground. Do you see a lot of oil impregnated soil? There is a historic marker mentioning this place and the event that took place right here in the early 1900's. I'll jump up and down so maybe you'll see me.

nope. I hope you guys don't let this be the first "I give up" in this game...would it be? I haven't looked back thru it all. You are so close.
Think about this, I'll lay it out again: you are in an oil field where lots of oil drilling has taken place, starting way back in the early 1900's. Then "oops" something unexpected and real bad happened. On a worldwide scale of all time bad events of this sort, this one right here ranks way up there. |

Bingo! I'm gushing with pleasure that you finally found me, unc. You're up.
Since you already posted the Lakeview Gusher link, I'll just add this interesting one I found while trying to put the current BP fiasco into a magnitude perspective: Oil spill - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Depending on the final tally, who knows where the current gusher will end up but I don't have a good feeling about it. |
