Close to due east as the crow flies, but taking 70 across will get you close in about an hour.

That's pretty darned close. I think I'd accept that as a correct answer since after I chose the town, I realized it's not really a town (?!?!) and it isn't even marked on the map unless you search the name. The actual location I'd chosen is just off State Hwy 743 and was chosen due to its moniker.

So did Ocm? find you?

If not, are you near this little wishing well I found along Hwy 743?

I gave it to OCM, although you're a little closer. It was Nick, KY. BUt I have no clue WTF that is.

Since Nick is closer, & your place bears his name, he should be the fox. Where are you, Nick?

Ocm?, I cannot turn away your benevolent fairness so I accept, thank you.

jewels, what do you mean "I have no clue WTF that is"!!!! It's one of the most famous landmarks on the Kentucky sofa, named after a pioneer, adventurer, and raconteur named Nick, who, as you might guess, I'm named after.

Apparently my guess was less than 2 miles from Nick, KY as the crow flies; while Ocm?'s guess was a tad over 10 miles as the crow flies.




Lucky I tossed a coin in that wishing well while I was there.

Please give me a couple hours to go hide since I don't already have a place in mind and I have meetings this afternoon.

Okay okay. Since I chose it on your behalf, get to work, Nickitus. You guys are vicious!

It's just that OCM worked much harder, so it didn't seem quite fair.

In real life, I'm about 6 miles from Billy Penn on top of City Hall, but I'm not in the c. of b.l. for this game. It seems a lot of us here now love our brother Vick. I just helped my son write a satirical essay about him and his rehabilitation, repentance, rebirth and the good old American "give the guy a second chance", etc., especially if he can win you the Super Bowl.

Yes, though the "ensconced" part may be a stretch since I am rather peripherally in the homeland.

homing in on me...I'm just over 200 miles from Galveston. The name of this place is associated with our beloved forum.
