nope, but you're circling in for the kill...

(not a clue...)

Jim Thorpe?

nope...

what are you Shamokin, unc?

....if not, how about a clue as to why you're there, or some other relevance?

not shamokin nuttin'...

i quite literally picked where i am out of the blue; it's just off a major interstate, it has a mcdonalds outside the mall, and has a state-run facility just outside the city limits...

Hey, are you in Lewisburg? They have a really cool Federal prison there!

Plus, I have fond memories of Lewisburg. Back in college and post college, some of the guys I hung around with would drive up to Lewisburg area to party with a couple guys from Bucknell that we knew, since Bucknell is nearby, and also a bunch of hot babes from a local teachers college. Ahh, those were the days, my friend.

my wife's best friend graduated from bucknell (probably one of those hot babes you partied with...) but alas i am not in lewisburg but rather ESE of there...

hmmmmmaybe you're in Frackville? There's a state-run restroom right off the interstate there.

Mertz Town?

hmmmmmaybe you're right!

Frackville, Pennsylvania - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

damn! That was a total shot in the dark. OK...I'll come up with my next destination shortly.

OK, where in the world am I?

Are you right side up? (Just Kidding)


SofA?

WH?

amonkie,
in case you haven't noticed yet, all my sides are exactly right. So yes, one of my right sides is always up.

But no, not SofA. But yes WH.

Land of Ruebens?

island nation?

yep, eye seen me on an eye land < not a clue, I'm just being my normal wise ass self this morning.

Having an Icee with your corned beef?

oh oh...yes, el monkie

not trying to be a dick, but I don't want to give overly obvious clues right away...but this building where I am has a very unusual purpose/theme

are you orange or green?

nope...red roof and white sides

so, not ireland, correct?

unc, when amo asked "Icee..?" assumed we were talking about Iceland. So whether my assumption was right or wrong, I am in a strange place in Iceland...man made place, in a building..not some natural wonder of which there are many on Iceland, land of the Icee.

The church of Hallgrimur? Certainly looks like a dick to me...

well no, but you're sort of hot

The Icelandic Phallological Museum?

http://www.phallus.is/phallus/mmynd.php?2080327015

So many dicks.. so little time. lol.


ok. Sorry to leave ya hanging .... Where am I?

NH?

WH?

Yup to Both Phil and Nick

US?

Yup

west of the miss?

Another yup...you're on a roll.

Only place to go is up.

south of the 40?

That is a negative...

dammit! I guess I have trust issues.

In a coastal state?

Nope... no coast for me. There's a little too much smog in the coast.. the airs a little clearer here.

r u 'n Montana?

Nope... but now i'm in the mood for some buffalo wild wings. Never been there actually...

I saw a lot of buffalo in Wyoming... r u der?

Nope sorry, that wasn't a clue. I was just hungry, lol.


hmm... what can I say to help. It feels like I've got a dam in my head that is stopping my train of thought.

u da ho?

Nope nope not there either.

are you in Colorado?

Yes... I am coloring in the lines with much ado. I would love to have a glass of water.

chrystal dam?

Nope.. not at Crystal Dam.

But, guessing the right dam will get you closer to my actual location.

blue mesa dam?

Nope.

The dam that will be helpful can be a little noisier than others given its location.

chatfield?

oohhh, that chat sounds about right, unc.

are you in Denver?

Nope.... but I did fly into Denver to begin the trek to here. in a 74 Toyota Pickup that couldn't go faster than 55...

dillon?

I passed Dillon, and decided to keep going west...

granby?

how about Steamboat Springs?

home of "Kill Dozer"

Phil you were on the right road... I was literal when i said I kept going west, lol!



I've got the song Cry Me a River in my head... but its a White Forest out there with all the snow.

are you near Vail and white water rafting down the White River?

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

lawn lake?

White River is getting closer... In the forest but not the River.


From the area near one of the most expensive highway tunnels built, you can take a climb ... if you do you'll find me here taking in the view.

mcphee reservoir?

are you in the Loveland Ski Area?

Phil was closest with Dillon - Keep following the 70 west....

Are you on the mountain overlooking the Eisenhower Tunnel?

I think the Dillon Reservoir is just west of where the highway exits the Eisenhower Tunnel

According to waymarking:
The Eisenhower Memorial Tunnel is located approximately sixty miles west of Denver, Colorado on Interstate 70. It is the highest vehicular tunnel in the world, located at an elevation of 11,013 feet at the East Portal and 11,158 feet at the West Portal. The Tunnel traverses through the Continental Divide at an average elevation of 11,112 feet...The Eisenhower-Johnson Memorial Tunnel (EJMT) was, for its time, a groundbreaking feat of engineering planning and design. The construction of I-70 and the EJMT through the Rocky Mountains was a major accomplishment toward the completion of the Interstate Highway System. It was the nation's most expensive highway project up to that point and remains the world's longest (at 1.7 miles) and highest (over 11,000 feet) underground thoroughfare. The EJMT stands as one of the great engineering achievements of 20th century highway design.

Here's standing on a peak overlooking the Dillon Reservoir with the town of Frisco visible down on the reservoir.

morrow point?

Definitely getting hotter, Badnick!

I am at a lake who's trailhead begins of the 70 ... and its not my fault that geology decided to fall out from under me and leaving me hanging!

ridgeway dam?

so I found Hanging Lake, Colorado...looks like a beautiful spot to hike but it seems too far west Hanging Lake, Colorado

---------- Post added at 09:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:49 AM ----------

my ongoing search turned up another reasonable guess:

Lake Uneva (apparently a private lake) ...which you can get a great view of from Mt. Victoria

Mt. Victoria - hiking in Summit County Colorado

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g2...Victoria10.jpg

Hanging Lake is Correct!

All i remember is the Eisenhower Tunnel and then our next stop being Hanging Lake trailhead. When you're only going 55 and everyone else is whizzing by... distance is kind of irrelevant, LOL.

One of my favorite places to hike ... and my fav picture of the trek:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...e/DSC00057.jpg

And just before you take the final climb to the lake you can veer left and see Spouting Rock..

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...e/00630020.jpg


You're Up Badnick!

what a beautiful spot! Life is just too damn short to explore even a small number of these outstandingly beautiful places...that photo reminds me sort of what a Colorado cenote would look like.


OK...where in the world I am?

NH?

yep

EH?

nope

NA?

anywhere near the tallahatchie bridge in carroll county?

not really "near" it


I'M STANDING RIGHT ON IT!!! unc, you can't fool us old guys who remember this good shit from back in 1967. Since I decided to be here, I've been walking around humming and whistling this song for the last couple days...it was a huge hit back then...and I'm going to download it to my ipod today.

You're up, bud.
