...the Natural Bridge in
North Adams in the northern Berkshires?
(the only marble bridge in North America)

i am south of cape cod...

i am not near the berkshires...

are you on Martha's Vineyard?

...can I come, too. I love that place.

Nantucket?

i am closer to martha's vineyard than nantucket...

...island?

Are you on Penikese Island in Buzzards Bay?

shell - yes

nick - no

Are you on Nomans Land? ...and if you are, careful you don't blow yourself up!

Nomans Land (also mapped as "No Man's Land" or "No Mans Land" or "No Man's island") is an uninhabited island 612 acres in size, located in the town of Chilmark, Dukes County, Massachusetts, USA. It is situated about three miles (5 km) off the southwest corner of the island of Martha's Vineyard.

The island likely has unexploded ordnance dating from its role as a practice bombing range from 1943-1996. Consequently, the island is closed to the public.

nick - no, there are mens and womens on this island...

...can you get there only by ferry?

(we're getting suspiciously close to chappaquidick again)
`

so far, yes...

Chappaquiddick Island?

are you on one of the Elizabeth Islands? ...are we looking for a specific location?

i would be on chappaquiddick island...

as a matter of fact, aunt phil and i are leaving for yarmouth, mass, for the weekend in about an hour or so...

you go, tully, and remember...

OK, have fun. Make sure Aunt Phil (and yourself) make it home safely.

Where am I?

ruskin, fl?

Nope, but you're in the right hemispheres. So NWH.

...hey uncle phil...have a good time and take pics...post one for us when you get back...give auntie phil a big hug for us

...island, tully?

`

US?

unc, have a nice time with auntie in C. Are those gorgeous huge swans still living in that salt pond near the beach?


I know Eleanor and Geoff quite well, who own this place that I've stayed at many times, near VH on MV...ahhh, the memories! http://camptashmoo.com/views.html

I am on an Island.

I am in the US.

east of our Miss?

West

...off the california coast?

No.

...pacific ocean?

Not an island in the Pacific.

...us territories?

The Aleutian Archipelago (also known as the "Alaskan Bush")?

I am located within the lower 48 states.

bordering Gulf of Mexico?

No, not in the Gulf.

Here's a hint, the water surrounding me is not salty.

Great Lakes region

No, not in one of the great lakes.

are you somewhere in the Puget Sound / San Juan Islands group?

No but you're a lot closer then the great lakes guess.

are you in Lake Mead? (or what's left of it!)

No smaller body of water.

you are in Mountain Time, aren't you?

No I'm not in MT.

does the state you are in border the Pacific Ocean?

Yes, you've successfully narrowed your search to three states.

Oregon islands? (We already eliminated Cali and Alaska)

(all that may remain after this is Washington and Hawaii.)

#6530 and #6533 rule out Hawaii.

When did we rule out California?

But I am in fact on an island in Oregon.

I thought you were on an Oregon island before the Great Lakes or Gulf of Mexico guesses, but I know my two guesses more intimately than any single Oregon island (of which I know none), so I was hoping my intuition was wrong on that one.

Well, as I'm trying out in another thread, I will try an alphabet-oriented guess:

Are you on an island named in between A-M? (e.g. Black Rock, Grassy Island, Mack Arch)
(Oh, man I just realized there's over 300 islands associated with Oregon)...

...Jantzen Island in Lake Oswego?
It's for sale, btw, in case you have 20 million burning a hole in your pocket.

The agent's write-up provides the facts. Asking price, $19.5 million, the most expensive residential property in Oregon. Living space, 13,500 square feet, split between a guest house and the original English Tudor home built in 1929 for Carl Jantzen, a founder of Jantzen Knitting Mills.

Bedrooms: five. Bathrooms: six. Fireplaces: three. Roof: slate. Patio, pool, sauna, shop, boathouse: built like a castle. Terraces, waterfalls, a rose garden, nearly one mile of walking trails. And a gated, stone bridge that trolls could easily inhabit.

"You can just smell the history in that boathouse," said real-estate broker Justin Harnish, "There's an old stone bench where you can sit and look straight down the lake and see Mount Hood."

From my other post-

So it could have been a Californian island, just not one in the Pacific or off the coast. My guess is , like Oregon, California has 100's of islands in lakes and rivers, streams, reservoirs and ponds.

And no- not between A-M


And no not Jantzen Island in Lake Oswego. I have water skied near Jantzen Island. The island I'm on I've camped on several times.

Do you not like either/or questions? Was I reprimanded before for a question along the lines of this one:

Are you on an island in either Curry or Caltsop County?

I don't mind this question. If it can be answered yes or no it's fine by me.

It's no by the way, not in those counties.

Last one for tonight: are you in Multnomah county?

No I'm not.

...is there a park there with a campground?

Yes, there is a campground. For the record there wasn't one there last time I camped there. That was one of the appeals of the place to me.

Are you at Collins Beach on Sauvie Island? ...and if so, nude or clothed?

...the excitement level of this game was just kicked up a notch :oogle:

No, but I have been there several times. And yes, when in Rome... Plus when I was working on my pilots license I was flying out of Kelso Wa. often we'd do a low fly by at that beach.

Go South Nick and head for the hills. As the t-shirt on one lady off the cruise ship said yesterday day "If you like my mountains you'll love my busch"

how about Detroit Lake State Park?

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g2...I/11788052.jpg

...that looks like a winner to me, nick....wtg n advance!

Ya found me!

You didn't mention the name but it's on the sign in the pic you posted.

So yer up!

...great location there tully...good job! I use to love to camp until i
went with the 4th grade boyscout troop...never got any sleep!

...but my favorite camping trip was trout fishing by a lake in the Grand Tetons
years ago. Watched the muscrat swimming in the still wee hours
of the morning when the lake was like glass. So serene.

hey nick, you anywhere near the delaware water gap?

Tul, I wasn't exactly sure what part of Detroit Lake State Park you might be in. I was going to mention the island shown in the pic...is that Piety Island?...but other than that sign I couldn't find anything more about it.

Give me a little time to find a new place to go.

unc, do you mean relative to this game, or just in general real life? Here's where my butt is planted this very minute, though on this map you can't really see my butt without a microscope

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g2...I/watergap.jpg

in the game; i'll presume that ivyland is your workplace...

in that case, NO. Believe it or not, I was actually going to go to Treasure Island located in the Delaware River south of the Water Gap, mainly because Shell's comment about being kept up all night at the Boy Scout camp reminded me of being there...it's a local Scout Camp property in the middle of the Delaware River and I have fond memories of being there. One being that I was singled out (unfairly I might add!) with a buddy, for starting a food fight in the cafeteria and they said I had to go home :( This was on the second day of a two week camp! So my buddy and I snuck out of camp and hit in the woods for two days, they sent out search parties, including senior scouts and our Marine drill instructor scout master, but nobody could find us. At one point I was up in a tree with my clothes stuffed with "camouflage" branches and weeds and a search party stopped under my tree to discuss where to look for me next...ahhh, I was so cool! But eventually we got too hungry and gave up and they sent me home with no refund :shakehead: But this led to a very happy and successful Boy Scout career for me over the next few years, so all's well that ends well.

yes, the small company I work for has our office and factory in Ivyland, just around the corner from Tony's Place Bar & Grill, where I will be having lunch later today. You are all invited, lunch and drinks are on me.

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

PS: so where am I?

A little side trip report: I had lunch today at Tony's and fell in love with Stephani who is a relatively new waitress, age appropriate I might add. Her name is actually Stephanie but the "e" drops out of my awareness of her existence and also from her name as printed on the check due to some ancient geophysical limitation of DOS only being able to handle 8 character file names. I had a couple of Rogue Red Ales (thank you, Oregon) with my grouper sandwich.

OK, where the hell am I? Since Stephani lost her "e" I'll say I'm in the EH

Was she blonde?

---------- Post added at 02:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:58 PM ----------

And did you circumvent the automerging as well? This thread is weird in that way.

no, she's very non-blonde. Hey, I have to relisten to those 4 Non Blondes on my way home!

and

apparently. Jetée, perhaps the automerge function is sometimes, though not always, verklempt

I'm glad to hear you found your love, BadNick, and I hope to find my love Stephanie this coming fall.

South Asia? (I always forget which way is east)

...HEY, you two-timing grouper-breath! I showed up at Tony's this afternoon for my free lunch and free drink and you ONLY had eyes for "stephani-without-an-e" the ENTIRE time! humpfff :orly:

...NH?

I bet Shell with an "e" is better than some smell-e old Stephani without an "e" any day.

Not Asia.

Yes NH.

Yes, that's Piety Island. It's really a hill that's still above water after they built the Detroit Dam. Back in the early 80's a few friends and I made it a regular place to camp. Stores in the town of Detroit would sell beer to anyone back then, but the park rangers would fine you and take your beer in the parks. So we'd buy the beer and row our inflatable rafts out to the island. It's a good plan to drink the beer after rowing out to the island or so I've been told.


So US?

nope, not U.S. this time

...middle east?

...oh, and i saw that ;)

no, not middle east but that's getting closer. I'm in NH/EH.

Just looking for the city this time, no particular building or nude beach.

Europe

yes, Europe

...between stephani-without-an-e and the nude beach...you're sounding a little frisky today. I'll guess it's a romantic getaway of sorts...i'm imagining you lunching on a baguette and cheese underneath the Eiffel Tower in Paris, hiking a 500 year old footpath between two villages in England's Cotswolds, or marveling at first century ruins on a Greek Island!

...okay...here's my guess:

...Füssen, a picturesque town at the foot of the Bavarian Alps that conjures images of a fairytale kingdom with its beautiful castles, medieval town centre and azure lakes. Perhaps at the Neuschwanstein Castle, the dream residence of the ‘Fairy-Tale King,’ King Ludwig II. Ludwig who was a hopeless romantic...his iconic castle served as the inspiration for the Sleeping Beauty Castle at Disneyland. Just a beautiful Bavarian town.

Romania?

I'm not there but hey, can I change my mind and be at the Neuschwanstein Castle? ...sounds like a beautiful romantic place:

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

See that little semi-circular area on the "back porch" on the right? That reminds me of a castle in Austria that my parents used to take me to when I was a baby boy. I was born in Braunau Austria near Salzburg and that's where the castle is. I remember a semi-circular pool on one terrace with a scary gargoyle face spouting water from its mouth into the pool and I was afraid to look at it and would hide behind my mother's dress.

Tul, not Romania either/again...but I can almost hear my relatives saying "The blood is the life"

...what a beautiful photo. Sounds like you lived a charmed life.

...are you touching the mediterranean?

yes, on the meds

...an island?

I knew you were on something.

Italy?

not an island and not Italy

...france?

Is Greece the word this time?

Balkan country?

not france not Greece

yes, I'm in the Balkans

...Yugoslavia?

:expressionless:...why are we whispering? YOU say Albania :) I think it's a country that touches Hungary because he was born there

`

ssshhhh....i'm being quiet since tomorrow is father's day


Jet, not Albania.

Shell, "Yugoslavia" would be correct if there was still such a country, but there is no longer a Yugoslavia. This ref is a correct description of the status of all the republics that used to be Yugoslavia prior to June 2006 Yugoslavia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

So I am in a really cool city that is in one of the former Yugoslav republics.

...Serbia?

:hearts::hearts::hearts::hearts::hearts::hearts::hearts:
...HAPPY FATHERS DAY TO
ALL THE DADS OUT THERE!!
:hearts::hearts::hearts::hearts::hearts::hearts::hearts:

Kosovo?

not Serbia and not Kosovo


thanks, Shell. I'm having a nice, relaxed Father's Day. If the rain holds off, later I'll go for a spirited drive up and down my favorite local winding road to pump up my adrenaline again. For presents, so far I got some bundles of love, a couple cool shirts, and Octane magazine for which I will have to learn "english" again. Don't let your bonnet slam on your fingers and watch those bodies in your boot.

Montenegro?

Bodies in boots? Dare I ask?

not Montenegro, Tul. Hey, Happy Father's Day since I know you're a great dad, too.

I was alluding to bodies in car trunks, but the British "english" calls the car trunk a boot.
