agreed, "grunt" sounds like more of a military word than a bacon word, especially now that I had some sausage for dinner

So not Bermuda, or Bimini.

Within 400 miles of the US coast?

yes, within 400 mi.

nassau?

Ja makin me crazy

not Nassau, but in the Bahamas. I'm at a specific place that is of unusual geologic and visual interest.

Jahmaka nah.

Are U on Montserrat at the Soufriere Hills volcano?

san salvador, home of columbus' first stop?

Are you south of 40?

coldhands, Montserrat is not in the Bahamas.

unc, not San Salvadore...this is a natural geologic feature, not a town/city/building or other man-made thing.

Tul, all of the Bahamas are south of the 40. In fact, the Bahamas are all south of the 30.

How about the Great Bahama Bank (and I don't mean a savings and loan)?

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...009.jpg/600px-

Opps, missed where you said you were in Bahamas.

Let me think...

inagua national park on great inagua?

not inagua, not let me think

but coldhands, while I'm not at the Great Bahama Bank, where I am is in the photo you posted...I'm waving "hello" but you probably can't see me since I'm so small

the third-longest barrier reef in the world, off andros island?

nope, but that is a fantastic natural wonder...man, I love the Bahamas!

Where I am is on Eleuthera.

preachers cave?

never heard of that one, but I know I'm not there...head a little more south...probably less than 10 miles

ocean hole, in rock sound?

http://www.eleuthera.com/oceanhole.html

You are on land, right?

Not ocean hole, and yes I am on land. unc, in that link you posted above it mentions and shows the place where I am.

that little green shack?

Spanish Wells?

Not the green shack, not Spanish Wells which is on the north end of the island. As I said, I'm ~10 miles south of unc's previous guess of Ocean Hole.

Having trouble having a decent map...

Windermere Island?

harbour island?

not one of the little out islands...though my friend has a gorgeous place on Harbour Island that I've been to and aspire to retire there...if only he'd see it my way ;)

I'm on the main part of Eleuthera Island. I'll throw out another clue to give you a window into my devious mind:

hatchet bay caves?

not in any cave or hole and I'm standing on dry land but I can see water to the left of me and water to the right of me. I did give you a pretty damn good clue above.

glass window bridge?

http://www.eleuthera.com/glasswindow.html

BINGO! so you're up, unc.

I believe that the Glass Window is actually the only place where the Atlantic coast continental shelf reaches up on to dry land from the ocean. That little land strip is actually the top of the continental shelf.

I remember standing there on that narrow strip of land with the continental shelf dropping off into the Atlantic Ocean on the one side to many thousands of feet, and the turquoise blue/green bay/reef on the other side...and it was such a cool sight and feeling. Even the thought of falling into the ocean side gave me a touch of vertigo and I think I was leaning toward the shallow side the whole time.

Texas Hill Country Online - Visitor & Travel Guide

you're up...mayan dude.

Tully wins.

The site above seriously has a dearth of info and scenery of the town. Maybe I just stink at navigating the page.

Here you go, Jetée. Try this: Mayan Ranch dining room 2 << I looked thru the photo gallery link

Seattle Space Needle?

island?

WH?

Are you in a "republic of..." anything?

quite coincidental that I just finshed watching a special about horses; mini-horses to be exact, but it looked to be just as entertaining a Mountie atop a regular-sized horse, to see the cute-as-buttons mini-horses galloping around.

NH?


Jetée, I was at a local tuner shop's "dyno day" on Saturday and somebody asked me how much horsepower my car has so I said "1000!" ...and then I qualified that by pointing out I was using those mini horses as my metric.
