if it's not the atacama desert, which is the driest in the world, it myst be the adjacent atacama quarry?

nope.

Think of " Ojos del Salado" and "highest" and you'll probably find me...but like I said, I'm not at the mountain/volcano itself just near it.

paso de san francisco?

I show something called the "Ojos del Salado Pool," looks like a lake there. Is that what you're looking for?

unc, that's a no. And welcome back from your trip.

Tul, you got me. The place I am is the highest lake in the world, but it is not a large lake and the word "pool" has been used in some descriptions I've read, like this one: The Highest Lake in the World

"Ojos del Salado Pool", 6,390 meters = 20,965 feet, Argentina
Ojos del Salado Pool is on the east face of Ojos del Salado, the highest active volcano on the southeast side of the border between Chile and Argentina. I was notified of this lake in 2007. Andes has a nice picture of this pool at the link below:
Andes Website - trekking, hiking, skiing and climbing in the Andes mountains of South America

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g2...ighestlake.jpg

Andes reports that Ojos del Salado Pool is 100 meters in diameter. If the lake is circular, this measurement means that the surface area is 0.785 hectares. That is why I classified this lake as a "pool"; according to my definition on the home page, a true "lake" must occupy at least 1.0 hectares.

That figure of 100 meters is probably an estimate. I would love to promote Ojos del Salado Pool to "lake" status, but we need an accurate measurement of its size. If you plan to climb Ojos del Salado, here's what you need to do: Pace around the edge of the lake, and count your number of steps. When you get back to a measuring tape, measure ten of your strides. I will calculate the surface area from that, and post your results here. It will also be helpful if you can estimate how close the pool is to circular.

In this Wiki reference, it calls it the highest lake in the world: Ojos del Salado - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Due to its location near the Atacama desert, the mountain has very dry conditions with snow only remaining on the peak during winter. Despite the generally dry conditions, there is a permanent crater lake about 100 metres (300 ft) in diameter at an elevation of 6,390 m (20,960 ft) on the eastern side of Ojos del Salado.[3] This is most likely the highest lake of any kind in the world.

And in this Wiki reference Lake - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia they say: The world's highest lake is an unnamed pool on Ojos del Salado at 6,390 metres (20,965 ft).

You're up, Tul. Go hide and we'll find you.

Alright cool place, sorry for the delay of game.

Alright find me!

Yes
-----Added 13/1/2009 at 07 : 22 : 55-----
Go west young man.

oregon?

Yes

are you west of I-5?

That's a very good question. The answer should help you narrow down my location. I-5 is almost directly due south of me.

beaverton?

The I-5 clue is not helping me much since it runs pretty much N-S so I'm tring to find someplace you could be that would make it south of you...still searching.

Are you north of Eugene?

Beaverton is most certainly west of I-5, so no.
-----Added 14/1/2009 at 09 : 35 : 05-----
South of Eugene.

And yes I-5 runs PRETTY much N-S, except a couple spots where it runs E-W.

I saw those little jogs in the road, so I'm searching those now...hold your breath until I find you. But if you turn blue and feel light headed, go ahead and take a breath or two.

starvation heights?

Roxy Ann Peak? ...she's a dormant volcano just north of Medford

No, but I am near a hill.
-----Added 14/1/2009 at 02 : 51 : 01-----

No but you've found the right jog in I-5.

table rock?

No, think cheesy tourist attraction.

jackson county expo park?

I didn't find any "cheese" related places yet, so I'll take a shot. Are you at The House of Mystery at The Oregon Vortex in Gold Hill, OR? The Oregon Vortex and location of the House of Mystery

That's it, trust me it's cheesy.


Yer up.

OK, where in the world am I?

Leavenworth, Washington?

great guess! but no. Not in Leavenworth, Kansas, either.

In one sense I am very very close to good old Conshy since my house is less than 15 min east of there; actually I'm in Merion, about one block outside the lines of the Borough of Narberth, affectionately known as the Heart of the Main Line.

But in our virtual reality here at this time I am not in PA, unc.


clue: where I am has a connection to yesterday

are you in bascom, florida, birthplace of faye dunaway?

Nope, not in Florida...but here's a fan's shout-out to Faye Dunaway: hi Faye!

EH?

nope, I'm in WH

NH?

yes NH

...if you don't find me today, keep in mind this clue refers to Jan. 14, 2008

2008?

no ;) sorry, I shoulda said 2009.


I'm leaving work now and won't log back in for a couple hours. Have a nice life.

Mexcio City, birth place of Ricardo Montalban?

santa monica, california, where patrick mcgoohan died?

This is exactly on the right path, since where I am relates somehow to Ricardo Montalban. But not his birth place, and not where he died...I hope you R.I.P. in your "soft Corinthian leather" lined sarcophagus.



No unc. But I just read about his passing today even though he died on Jan. 13th. I really liked his acting a lot, especially in Secret Agent and The Prisoner.

Corinth, Greece?

No, sorry, I didn't mean that comment as a clue, just as a memorial comment. But think of places associated with him or one of his main roles and I think you'll find me pretty soon.

Jamaica?

nope, but it is an island. Btw, is Jamaica related to R.M.?

Kaua`i, Hawaii, the original filming location for FI?

Yeah, RB was in the play "Jamaica" on Broadway at the start of his career.

ahh, thanks for the Jamaica connection, Tul.

And you found me...I'm on Fantasy Island showering under Wailua Falls which was featured in the opening credits of the show.

Wailua Falls - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g2...alls_Hawii.jpg

Wailua Falls is a 173-foot waterfall located in Kauai, Hawaii that feeds into the Wailua River. There is a path to the bottom of the falls, but it is muddy, slippery and dangerous. Some hikers have strung ropes along the path, but officials come by every so often and cut them. In ancient times, Hawaiian men would jump from the top of the falls to prove their manhood. There is another waterfall nearby named 'Opaeka'a Falls.

The Falls were featured on the opening credits of the television show Fantasy Island.

No and No. Head back toward Madagascar and 1996.

comoros islands?

Yeppers!

This is what usually happens when a pilot ditches-



In this crash a lot of people that survived the crash ended up drowning because they inflated their life jackets while still inside the plane. The plane filled with water and they couldn't get out.

You're up.

damn...

Good find, unc. While I was out searching for Tully I stumbled into a strange bar and sort of got caught up in there until now.

I think I've been there.

(gonna try to golf in the cold this morning...39 freakin' degrees in south florida...sheesh...)

I told you you should have stayed, 78 here.
