uncle phil 09-11-2009 01:44 PM

some wind farm would have been my next guess, but i went with what was alluded to in the last verse of "blowin' in the wind..."

"How many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky?
Yes, 'n' how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
Yes, 'n' how many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind."

Tully Mars 09-13-2009 04:47 AM

Ok where did the wind blow me?

BadNick 09-13-2009 07:55 AM

are you someplace where there are monsoons?

Tully Mars 09-13-2009 08:08 AM

No, no monsoons here.

BadNick 09-13-2009 08:11 AM

in the U.S.?

Tully Mars 09-13-2009 09:25 AM

Sofa, aye.

BadNick 09-13-2009 03:04 PM

uncle phil 09-13-2009 03:22 PM

Tully Mars 09-13-2009 08:22 PM

Nick's correct.

uncle phil 09-14-2009 02:48 AM

does the state you are in border the pacific ocean?

Tully Mars 09-14-2009 03:23 AM

No it does not.

uncle phil 09-14-2009 03:53 AM

does it border canada?

BadNick 09-14-2009 03:57 AM

I'll take a shot at Wyoming...?

Tully Mars 09-15-2009 01:55 AM

No and No.

uncle phil 09-15-2009 03:33 AM

BadNick 09-15-2009 05:30 AM

BadNick 09-15-2009 10:48 AM

Tully Mars 09-15-2009 11:07 AM

Nope, not the beehive state.

uncle phil 09-15-2009 11:09 AM

nevada?

Tully Mars 09-15-2009 11:29 AM

I am.

uncle phil 09-15-2009 12:19 PM

in a city?

Tully Mars 09-15-2009 02:50 PM

According to Wiki, yes. I wouldn't call it a city. I'd call it a place.

uncle phil 09-15-2009 03:37 PM

are there women who have sex for money there?

Tully Mars 09-15-2009 03:47 PM

Doesn't that happen just about everywhere? If you're asking if I'm at a brothel, no.

BadNick 09-15-2009 05:03 PM

Tul, are you somewhere famous for or related to mining?

Tully Mars 09-15-2009 06:11 PM

No I'm not, but I'd bet you've heard of this place.

BadNick 09-15-2009 06:15 PM

so might you mean that the place relates to betting?

...now what in the world in Nevada could relate to betting? << that's not a 2nd question, I'm just being mr. rhetorical

Tully Mars 09-16-2009 01:49 AM

This place is not known for betting.

uncle phil 09-16-2009 02:57 AM

military facility?

Tully Mars 09-16-2009 05:55 AM

Nope... you know I got the flag just after Labor Day weekend.

BadNick 09-16-2009 11:43 AM

are you at the Nevada Test Site?

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

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

Tully Mars 09-16-2009 11:53 AM

Nope, no military connection.

BadNick 09-16-2009 12:21 PM

oh, yeah! dammit, I forgot that the military was involved in those nuke blasts.

Tul,
Is this part of what you said a clue, or are you just chatting with unc?

Tully Mars 09-16-2009 12:57 PM

That would be a clue my good man.

uncle phil 09-16-2009 01:00 PM

mormon station?

Tully Mars 09-16-2009 01:05 PM

Nope

uncle phil 09-16-2009 01:42 PM

ok, the statehouse in carson city?

Tully Mars 09-16-2009 02:34 PM

Nope, not a government building.

uncle phil 09-16-2009 02:49 PM

jeebus, a battlefield?

Tully Mars 09-16-2009 02:54 PM

No, I can't think of any clues that wouldn't give it away out right either.

BadNick 09-16-2009 07:16 PM

I'm pretty much blank so far. Are you north of Battle Mountain on I-80?

Tully Mars 09-17-2009 02:06 AM

I am north west of Battle Mountain.

Do you guys like Blue Oyster Cult? I do, really like the song "Burnin' for You."

uncle phil 09-17-2009 02:48 AM

paradise hill?

Tully Mars 09-17-2009 02:55 AM

No, let me get this straight I give you Germany, WWII connection and you pop out with Sobibor like some psychic. Now I'm giving you Northern Nevada, it's a place but wiki has it listed as city (which I fail to see why,) has a connection to Labor Day and BOC song "Burnin' for You" is a clue. I'm disappointed in you guys.

uncle phil 09-17-2009 03:25 AM

i'm lost, buddy...

BadNick 09-17-2009 03:26 AM

still dead in the water with the oysters

I looked at Valley of Fire - Playground of the Gods, but that's well below the 40 latitide line :( ima keep lookin'

uncle phil 09-17-2009 03:28 AM

BadNick 09-17-2009 03:32 AM

Yes! I'm at Black Rock City, NV AKA "Burning Man." An annual freak show that takes place every labor day weekend in the Black Rock Desert of Northern Nevada. I keep telling myself I'm going to go to this but the tickets, which used to to be free, are now quickly approaching $400. I think it would be interesting, $400 interesting? I'm not sure.

Yer up UP.

BadNick 09-17-2009 07:00 AM

I didn't know about the "Burning Man" thing, but it seems like mystical fun. Must try.

uncle phil 09-17-2009 07:27 AM

when you gave BOC as a clue, my first thought was burning man but i just presumed that it was held in the land of fruits and nuts, then i googled burning man and, presto, to my surprise it was held in northern NV...

i'll get myself somewhere sometime this afternoon...

Tully Mars 09-18-2009 02:02 AM

There's talk, I hear, of having "Burning Man" events in several locations world wide. The people that started it want to do one in Mexico. The Mexican government told them thanks, but no thanks.

uncle phil 09-18-2009 05:04 AM

ok, where am i?

BadNick 09-18-2009 05:38 AM
