there ya go, now the question is where?

OK...some progress. Are you south of Orlando?

no...

east of I-75?

nope...

are you west of Perry FL?

no...

I just searched a bunch of golf courses but nothing inspired me yet.

Are you south of Gainesville?

yes...

Plantation Golf Resort & Spa near Crystal River?

south of crystal river...

How about Southern Woods Golf Club in Homosassa, FL?

you're getting close...

how about Dunes Golf Club of Seville‎?

almost next door...

obviously you Floridians have way too many golf courses! hmmm, ever hear of nudist golf?...just wonderin'. I'm off to find unc. AhL be bak.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...ngoaksphil.jpg

She has such great form! unc, you shoulda left your pants home. And what world is that from with all that greenery?


Does where you are have the word "Woods" in it? I'm seeing World Woods Golf Club, Southern Woods Golf Club, Sugarmill Woods Country Club. And a funny sounding place that doesn't seem associated with golf is "Chassahowitzka" ...I might name my next daughter Chassahowitzka.

hey, you found me...

i've played both the pine barrens course and the rolling oaks course within the past two years; beautiful layouts...

puerto rico?

ireland?

now you're getting much hotter, but I'm not in the Land of Ire. oo oooo <<< in my own twisted way I could consider that sort of a clue

greenland?

now you're getting colder again

iceland?

right direction, but not nearly as warm as when you were in the land of ire

Scotland?

in the faroe islands?

both of you guys are still a little too north, but at least Tully could drive there, unc would have to swim

ok, wales?

head east and keep an eye out for me

if we go much farther east, we'll be in the EH...

lilliput?

well I have to admit I'm quite close to the Prime Meridian, but I am west of it by less than one degree longitude. So I'm not in Lilliput based on my last hallucinations Alice in Wonderland syndrome - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

cardiff?

go across the Severn River and head further east

bristol?

Did you need a bath? Are you in Bath?

I heard that the kids in Bristol are sharp as a pistol. When they do the Bristol Stomp, but I'm not in Bristol.

I like a nice hot bath but lately just shower once in a while...I'm not in Bath.

Keep going east, guys, and keep an eye out for me.

guildford?

you are so hot, unc! head about 30 miles north east and keep and eye out for me.

harlow?

No, but thanks for the memories, unc. Many years ago that was the name of a famous Philadelphia transvestite, and (s)he was actually quiet gorgeous in her own way. She had a downtown disco/nightclub named after her...maybe she was part owner or just the mascot, I'm not sure...but I recall going in there once by myself and not knowing who (s)he was at the time, and she was hitting up on me; I couldn't oblige since I had to meet somebody soon, but I made up my mind to go back later...but then I found out who she was. Luv ya, hun.


I'm in London, but I want you to find me where I am in a famous structure.

S. Pancras Station - William Henry Barlow - Great Buildings Online ?

nope...but if keep an eye out for me you'll find me.

The London Eye? That big Ferris Wheel thingy.

Yes, I'm sitting at the top of the London Eye....you kept an eye out for me and found me, Tul. You're up.

With coordinates of 51° 30′ 11.88″ N, 0° 7′ 10.92″ W it is just barely in the Western Hemisphere by less than one degree longitude.

London Eye - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The London Eye (also known as the Millennium Wheel) at a height of 135 metres (443 ft), is the biggest Ferris wheel in Europe, and has become the most popular paid tourist attraction in the United Kingdom, visited by over 3 million people a year. At the time it was erected it was the tallest Ferris wheel in the world, until it was surpassed by the Star of Nanchang (160m) in May 2006, and then the Singapore Flyer (165m) on 11 February 2008. However, it is still described by its operators as "the world's tallest cantilevered observation wheel" (because the entire structure is supported by an A-frame on one side only).

The London Eye is located at the western end of Jubilee Gardens, on the South Bank of the River Thames in London, United Kingdom, between Westminster Bridge and Hungerford Bridge. The site is adjacent to that of the former Dome of Discovery, which was built for the Festival of Britain in 1951.

Do not lean against doors, sounds like solid advice.

I'm liking this new strategy of mine- wait for all the hard work to be done then swoop in for the kill. For the record I've been very busy of late. Been on the road for nearly two weeks and now I'm in the middle moving unexpectedly. I'm only moving a few miles but there's a lot involved due to a multitude of reasons.

So with that in mind- Where am I?

I will respond to questions at least twice a day, once in the AM and PM. Noon too if I get a lunch break.

---------- Post added at 01:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:31 PM ----------

i will track you down and "egg" your new place...

EH?

Tul, I figured you wouldn't just abandon our "where in the world" thread without a word...so I assumed you were either busy or some other personal business to deal with. I hope where you're moving is even better than where you are/were. And since we're in no hurry to become the longest thread in TFP history, we can just plod along like the proverbial turtle in the race ...persistence always pays off.

sooooo.... are you in the SH?

Get here fast, if you do it after I paint you're toast.

And no, WH.

I really meant to post something but kept getting side track. Was suppose to be home and getting ready to bunker down for the up coming heat. April and May can be brutal here. Now I've agreed to take on a friends house, sort of house- sit sort of rent. Basically half rent, so last minute move.

No BTW- NH.

us?

Nope

Mexico?

I am in Mexico

quintana roo?

Nope not in the "Roo."

are you in Yucatan state?

---------- Post added at 12:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:10 PM ----------

Hey, remember when I was in that big hangar? Well today I was reading the latest Road & Track magazine and they have a monthly "road test" featured article and this month they "road tested" the Zeppelin NT N704LZ Eureka...how cool!!! It's housed across from that hangar #1 Tul mentioned, near San Fran. This blimp is big! You can fit an entire Airbus A380 inside the pressure envelope....and to follow up on my wish above, it is fitted with a gondola cabin for passengers and an outfit is giving aerial tours of the area in this Zeppelin.... no doubt I'll do this if I'm near Cali Airship Ventures

I am in the State of Yucatán.

---------- Post added at 11:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:21 AM ----------

I would so spend money on this. A few years back I had the chance to ride in a restored B-17 "Liberator" for $500. I'd passed and have been kicking myself since.

Tul,
are you north of route Mex 180?

I'm south of 180.

Interesting point though. 180 runs from Cancun to Merida and then hooks north to Progreso, which is where I live (not where I'm at BTW,) but most maps I see have the Hwy from Merida to Progreso listed as 261. The road itself has a bunch of 180 signs on it.

yaxcaba?

No, but that is a very cool place.

chemax?

give us something to work with...

No, I'm all wet.

i'm looking for a lake or river and don't see anything...

are we near mex 295?

Yes I am.

Rivers here are underground, lakes few and far between. Do you "See No Tay's?" Because I'm freaking famous.

east of 295?

Are you in the Cuzamá cenotes? Hey Tul, do you ever dive in the cenotes? I've always fantasized about diving in there and finding priceless treasures that may have been jewelry worn by Mayan human sacrifices thrown into the cenotes.

This is a little donkey-drawn "train" that takes you to the Chelentun cenote at Cuzamá and then some pics I found of that place:

no cenotes on the map i'm looking at...

West about 4mi.

---------- Post added at 04:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:18 PM ----------

Yes I do dive cenotes. One of the certs I'm currently working on is a cavern diver cert. Cenote diving is unlike any other diving. It can be dangerous if you don't follow the "rules." The main one being no more then 200ft from the surface and always have daylight in view. There's a odd effect known as 'Halocline." It occurs where the cool fresh water of the surface meets the deeper saltwater. The colors are nothing short of fantastic. I have friends coming in April for three days, we'll only be diving cenotes. Since I don't have the cert. yet we'll be hiring a guide.

While that not where I'm at I have done the donkey train at Cuzamá several times. It's on the list of "must sees" for gringos when then have family and friends in from out of town. That rail in the picture is single. Know how they get it to be a round trip? There's two trains when they meet one driver pushes his car off the tracks then back on.

Are you at cenote San Joaquín?

I noticed this after picking this spot. Now that we've figured out I'm floating in a cenote let me just say this one gets it's picture taken a lot. Maybe more then any other in the Yucatan.

---------- Post added at 04:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:30 PM ----------

Nope. For the record there's about 3-4 San Joaquín cenotes here. Same thing with the name San Ignacio, there one just about everywhere.

Cenote Dzitnup? ...I'm guessing based on this note I found: Cenote Dzitnup, an immense vaulted cavern in the middle of the Yucatán Peninsula, is a strange and otherworldly tourist trap

This is the most fantastic place between about 8am and 10am. After that it's full of tourists from Cancun.

Yep up Nick!

OK, where am I this time?

stewartstown, pa?

Alice Springs Australia?

sorry, neither of those...but boy, those bring back some good memories!

WH?
