Steamboat Lake?

Are you in Cheesman Park in Denver? ...though I don't know why this park isn't in Wisconsin.
|
tully - no
nick - no |
Golden Gate Canyon?
|
nope...
"pearly gate" canyon wouldn't have been a bad guess, but, it too, would be incorrect... |
Pearl Lake State Park?
|
nope...
|
I'm impressed with how many state parks are in Colorado...if in fact you're in a state park.
Are you in one of these parks? Arkansas Headwaters Recreation Area Barr Lake State Park Bonny Lake State Park Boyd Lake State Park Castlewood Canyon State Park Chatfield State Park Cherry Creek State Park Cheyenne Mountain State Park Crawford State Park Eldorado Canyon State Park Eleven Mile State Park Golden Gate Canyon State Park Harvey Gap State Park Highline Lake State Park Jackson Lake State Park James M.

According to wiki, which we know could be a bit marginal at times:
The four United States National Parks within the State of Colorado are: Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park near Montrose Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve near Mosca Mesa Verde National Park and UNESCO World Heritage Site near Cortez Rocky Mountain National Park near Estes Park and Grand Lake Or maybe you're at a national monument? ....unc, are you at one of these places? The six United States National Monuments in the State of Colorado are: Canyons of the Ancients National Monument near Cortez Colorado National Monument near Grand Junction and Fruita Dinosaur National Monument near Dinosaur Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument near Florissant Hovenweep National Monument near Cortez Yucca House National Monument near Cortez |

I hope we can find unc pretty soon...he might be more lost than we thought.
|
where i am is a "registered national natural landmark..."
it is a "park" but not a "national park..." sorry for the confusion... |
The Garden of the Gods Park?
|
|
Sounds like a cool place. I should go someday. My only experience in Colorado is driving loaded semis through the state spending as little time stopping as possible.
OK go... |
bhutan?
|
EH?

EH yes.

NH? |

|
landlocked country?
|
No, not a landlocked country.
|
island?
ps: I am so happy I got rid of some kind of pernicious virus/trogan thing that was inhabiting my laptop for the last few days. It was like a war, with many battles, even had me scanning and manually deleting stuff in safe-mode against recommended procedures. But I finally won! No sign of that punk-ass piece of crap all day now. |
Yes, I'm on an Island.
Glad to hear about the health of your laptop. I've had that happen and it's a nightmare. Of course I'm IT challenged so... |
Is this island near the coast of China?
Tul, I'm no expert in kimpewter stuff either, but a little "logic" goes a long way. And since I hate Windows and always liked D.O.S. and considered myself adept at it back in the day, it tickled me that I actually resorted to calling up a "c:\" command prompt and was manually searching directories and files and deciding what to kill from there. |
I guess that depends on your definition of near. But I would say yes, it is near the coast of China.
|
quemoy?

Never heard of it, so no.

Are you in the Philippines?

Not in the PI.

No, think island nation.

formosa?

Vanuatu?
...just in case, this is Lopevi Volcano on Vanuatu http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g2...lg_vanuatu.jpg |
No and no.
Here's a photo and a clue- http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3291/...e35f4e.jpg?v=0 Head north and you'll find this town. Look to recent headlines and find it's name. |
Are you in Bali? If you are, I can't seem to find that harbour. Another clue?
edit: Maybe Nusa Dua? |
No.
Repeat clue of north. |
Saipan, Northern Mariana Islands? I'll have to hunt through news since I don't recall this being in the news lately.
|
No.
Asian island nation. Northern Asian island nation. The town's name is all over my google news page. Not the town... but the name. |
Taiwan? Perhaps in Taipei?
Just in case, this is a nice photo I found of the Siouguluan River in Taiwan http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g2...Hualien-Ta.jpg I beg your pardons for interjecting an off-topic pic, but I found this to be quite interesting: Pacific typhoon tracks 1980-2005 http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g2..._1980-2005.jpg |
No, sorry.
Just don't know how to "change" the clue to one "you can believe in." |
japan?
|
Yes I am in Japan.
|
city?
|
Yep, there's a picture of it above.
|
yokohama (sp.)?
|
No the town I'm looking for is much smaller. Yokohama is a suburb of Tokyo with probably several million residents.
Open up your morning paper, look at the front page and see who's name is on it more times then anyone else's and you'll likely come up with _______, Japan. That's where I'm at. |
only tokyo?

Fukui youi Tuli...I think you might be in Obama, Fukui, Japan? Obama, Fukui - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
...and further: Relationship with elected U.S. President, Barack Obama After the city of Obama noted the rise of Barack Obama as an American politician (Democratic Party) and as the elected President of the United States, they decided to use the common name to boost publicity for the town. It began when the Illinois Senator gave a 2006 interview to Japanese television network TBS where he noted that, when passing through customs in Narita Airport, an official looking at his visa noted that he was from Obama. The Obama City Hall heard about the interview and the then mayor, Toshio Murakami, sent Senator Obama a set of the city’s famous lacquer chopsticks, a DVD about the city and a letter wishing him the best. As Senator Obama's presidential campaign progressed, more local businesses began to organize primary parties and put up "Go Obama!" posters, sell "I love Obama" T-shirts, and produce manjū (a type of Japanese confectionery) with Senator Obama's face on them. Senator Obama has since thanked the town for their gifts and support, saying "I look forward to a future marked by the continued friendship of our two great nations and a shared commitment to a better, freer world". There are a number of Japanese with the surname Obama though the American Senator is of Kenyan Luo heritage; it is not uncommon for Japanese and East African names to sound alike. Statue of Barack Obama after victory in 2008 US election As a result of the decisive victory by Barack Obama in the 2008 presidential election, the Mayor of Obama City announced to the Japanese press that he intends to commission a statue of Barack Obama to be put in front of the city hall "as a token of the great historical moment for the name Obama". In addition, he has declared that November 4th will be an annual holiday in the city. North Korean abductions of Japanese Obama is one of the locations where Japanese citizens were abducted by agents of the North Korean government on July 7, 1978. Some Americans were hoping for a Sarah Palin abduction when a special ops N. Korean little league baseball team was found washed up on the shores of Alaska. |

no, I don't watch TV...though I did spend an hour or so yesterday setting up our family's new widescreen, and I should have spent a night at Holiday Inn Express, I bet I'd know this if I did. I'll go think on it some more.
-----Added 17/11/2008 at 07 : 44 : 53----- oops, we're star crossed posters.
