I'm not in a landlocked state, and not in a municipality. Where I am is a natural feature of some superlative significance.

Tully Mars · 11-02-2010, 12:41 PM

Are you hiding out up in Alaska?

Ourcrazymodern? · 11-02-2010, 02:15 PM

Mt. McKinley, maybe?

BadNick · 11-02-2010, 06:57 PM

I am in Alaska but not on a mountain or hill or knob.

Which reminds me, I'm not with that Palin woman, either. I mean the mom, not the dancer daughter. Luckily the witch she (the mom one) was backing in Delaware's elections lost...just my outsider's interest since I don't live or work in Delaware but I found her too annoying even just watching from Pennsylvania.

uncle phil · 11-03-2010, 02:52 AM

are you in a park?

Ourcrazymodern? · 11-03-2010, 05:22 AM

Gates of the Arctic?

Tully Mars · 11-03-2010, 06:16 AM

Prospect Creek Camp?

BadNick · 11-03-2010, 11:06 AM

A lot of Alaska is a park, preserve, national forest, wilderness area and I am in one of those. Sort of near the coast.

I'm roughly ~500 miles south of Gates of the Arctic. Prospect Creek is also way up north and I'm down in the southern part.

byron glacier?

BadNick · 11-04-2010, 08:34 AM

not Byron. This one has the distinction of a superlative characteristic, though that characteristic might very well signal a negative trend.

Ourcrazymodern? · 11-04-2010, 08:36 AM

Is it flowing the fastest?

nope. Ocm?'s flowing clue is the key.

Ourcrazymodern? · 11-05-2010, 06:10 AM

My maps show no names, & my googling's not working...

Variegated?

BadNick · 11-05-2010, 07:57 AM

not the V word. This glacier is a gem.

Ourcrazymodern? · 11-05-2010, 10:06 AM

Brilliant?

BadNick · 11-05-2010, 11:14 AM

Nope. More like a gem of the ocean.

Tully Mars · 11-05-2010, 11:39 AM

Bering Glacier?

Ourcrazymodern? · 11-05-2010, 11:49 AM

Pearl?

BadNick · 11-05-2010, 12:10 PM

no and no

Here I thought I was being too obvious with clues.

Ourcrazymodern? · 11-05-2010, 12:13 PM

Hell, Nick, I didn't know there were so many dozens...

Is there an Abalone?

BadNick · 11-05-2010, 12:17 PM

nope.

Think of a song that mentions gem of the ocean.

Ourcrazymodern? · 11-05-2010, 12:29 PM

the glacier river between sheridan glacier and copper river highway?

BadNick · 11-05-2010, 03:41 PM

not this time, unc.

Ocm?,
Thy mandates make heroes assemble! Yes, I'm on Columbia Glacier. You're up next, Ocm?.

It is one of the fastest moving glaciers in the world, and has been retreating since the early 1980s. Columbia Glacier twists its way through western Alaska's Chugach Mountains. The bald streak at the bottom of the mountains, called the trimline, shows this glacier has lost 1,300 feet (400 meters) of thickness. It has also retreated 10.5 miles (17 kilometers) since that time.

Speed at the terminus reached a maximum of nearly 30 meters per day in 2001, when the glacier was discharging icebergs at approximately seven cubic kilometers per year; the glacier has subsequently slowed down, resulting in an increase in retreat rate.

ps: don't eat the yellow snow

Ourcrazymodern? · 11-05-2010, 07:22 PM

Beautiful images! Close your eyes & count to 100.

& find me!

Ourcrazymodern? · 11-06-2010, 07:28 AM

uncle phil · 11-06-2010, 09:36 AM
