Lindy, yes I am east of the 109th meridian.

unc, I'm not an arch. I'm in a historic building.

are you in texas?

Sorry, no yellow roses around here.

I'm sure there are, BadNick. You know horticulturists.

Are you in St. Louis, Missouri?

Ocm?, since you put it that way, I'm sure you're right. Except for the St. Louis part since I'm not in Missouri.

...may we have another clue? Are you in Iowa?

are you in an insurance building in nebraska?

I'm SE of both Iowa and Nebraska, in a historic religious structure.

New Mexico is not SE of Iowa, you trickster!

Oops! Sorry if I misled anyone. The 109th meridian (more or less...) forms the WESTERN boundary of Colorado and New Mexico.:shakehead:

If you're SE of IA how can you be west of the MRS?:confused:

Lindy

Oops...I must have meant SW of Iowa and Nebraska...sorry folks. But you're getting very close because I am in New Mexico and in a church of historical significance.

In about 10 minutes we're leaving to go down the shore (Phila-speak for "going to the Jersey shore") where I'll be for about 2 weeks. I think we'll have internet service but I won't know for sure till we get there...at least via my laptop; there is always my iphone which will do it if my aging eyes can see those tiny little things on the screen. Hope to be back later tonight when we're there to see if you found me yet in New Mexico.

Does the chapel have a miraculous staircase?

Walt, do you mean the miraculous staircase at the Loretto Chapel?

At the end of the Old Santa Fe Trail stands the Loretto Chapel. Inside the Gothic structure is the staircase referred to as miraculous, inexplicable, marvelous and is sometimes called St. Joseph’s Staircase. The stairway confounds architects, engineers and master craftsmen. It makes over two complete 360-degree turns, stands 20’ tall and has no center support. It rests solely on its base and against the choir loft. The risers of the 33 steps are all of the same height. Made of an apparently extinct wood species, it was constructed with only square wooden pegs without glue or nails.

The Miraculous Staircase, which legend says was constructed or inspired by St. Joseph the Carpenter, was built sometime between 1877 and 1881. It took at least six months to build, and has two 360 degree turns with no visible means of support.

Cool stairway, but that's not where I am. However, not only am I in the same town as the Loretto Chapel, Santa Fe, but I'm even on the same "street", the Old Santa Fe Trail.

I did, indeed. Are you at the oldest church in the United States?

san miguel mission?

yes and yes! You guys fight it out since I'm on a peaceful vacation.

I think Walt also meant the San Miguel Mission San Miguel Mission - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ...even though he was not specific and there is some points of disagreement about what is actually the "oldest church in the U.S." So if Walt says he meant this place, then he's up next...otherwise, unc'a'dunk.

i'm good either way; whataya wanna do, walt?

Go for it! I'm going walkabout for a week or so and won't be near a computer.

I quickly returned from San Miguel Misson and now I'm sitting on the beach right where AC meets Ventnor...see:
