^ swimming like an egyptian?

dammit! unc, I just checked and Cairo IL is south of the 40 :( so amonkie is most likely not there.

Back to the papyrus board.


monkie, are you somewhere related to coal mining?

Badnick - you're absolutely on the right track.

are you in kentucky?

Yes.

are you in frankfort?

Nope, not frankfort.

Me and Bobby McGee used to share the secrets of our souls in Kentucky coal mines. I'm sure she'd know where you are, but somewhere near Salinas I let her slip away so we'll have to keep guessing.


amonkie, I'm having a hard time finding anyplace in Kentucky that is north of the 40. Would you please check and confirm that fact? If you've been kidnapped by aliens, please ignore my request.

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

Well, on all my maps the 40 runs through TN. So, technically all of KY is north of the 40.

which 40 are we talking about?

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g2...udelongiUS.gif


EDIT: OOPS, NOW I SEE YOU MUST MEAN HIGHWAY 40 WHICH RUNS THROUGH KNOXVILLE AND NASHVILLE.

OK, as you were and I'll keep searching.

hahaha :) now YOUR confusion makes sense.

That's monkey sense for ya!

covington?

Not in Covington.

If you find some falls... and take a little trip from there, you'll be pretty close to where I am.

laurel river dam?

Nope.. I'm feeling more like i'm in the boonies.

Are you at the Kentucky Coal Mining Museum's Portal No. 31 underground mine?

you mean like Daniel Boone National Forest?

Badnick - not in mine 31 - but your correct guess of the clue above will definitely get you closer to the mine I AM at.

are you actually in the Daniel Boone National Forest?

Yes I am.

sorry if this makes you hunt around, but are you in the Cumberland District?

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g2...-06own-map.jpg

I'm a lot closer to Graceland than the cumberland district would put me... In fact if I was a bird I could probably see Tennessee.

are you in the redbird ranger district?

Not in Redbird....


And I definitely don't see London.. or France.. or Badnick's Underpants!

I'd like to just say that I was not scared-off or intimidated by amonkie mentioning my underpants. I was simply busy with an important business client and didn't have much free searching time...though we did manage to polish off some good food and a couple bottles of cabernet.

OK, back at the ranch: 'monkie, so you must be in the Stearns District of the park?

You would be correct!

and I hear that guys with Batman on their underpants are always cooler anyways, so you got nothing to worry aboot.

Natural Arch Scenic Area?

Badnick was on the right track earlier - I am in a mine in the Stearns ranger district.

barren fork?

nope

edit: ok, I wasn't paying attention so skip this first guess that unc already tried but I got so involved in my search I forgot!

are you at the Barren Fork Coal Mining Camp?


Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, Barren Fork Coal Camp was a major coal mining community in the early 1900s. Now part of the Daniel Boone National Forest, Barren Fork includes trails, horse camp and historic and cultural experiences to visitors.


are you at Barthell Coal Mining Camp? ...and how did you know about my Batman underwear!?

Dating back to 1902, Barthell Coal Mining Camp was the first coal camp established in the region by the Stearns Coal and Lumber Company. After being abandoned as an operational coal mining camp, it was purchased by the Koger family who restored the camp to the look and feel it held in the early 1900s period. Today, visitors can tour into the mine, eat in the Coal Miner's diner, or even rent one of the miner's cabins.

Nope again to Barren Fork - but I am near a river bearing Fork in its name...

oops, see above that I edited as you were replying to my wrongness.

Badnick - I have superpowers!

And i'm not at Barthell, but you are very very close. When I'm feeling a little blue.. this place doesn't do much to cheer me up, that's for sure.

churchill downs?

True... Churchill downs could qualify as a money mine. But Nope, I'm out in the wilderness at this mine.

Blue Heron Mining Community/Camp?

That would be correct!

http://www.usatravelideas.com/images...D10274C55B.jpg

OK, I'll come up with a new place later today.

are you in a place that is avalanche prone?

not at all. Just quiet.

yes

Are you in the Library of Congress, the largest library in the world?

Lots of sexy hot librarians to make sure its "quiet".

lake placid, florida?

hey, what happened to that other poster who asked if I was in the USA? It was such a fleeting romance ...story of my life, but that's for another thread.


monkie, I hope you are not making fun of librarians!!! I love librarians, and libraries.

I'm sure the stereotypical images are usually not accurate. When I retire I am seriously considering volunteering to be a librarian, so one day I may have to retract what I just said.

But no, I am not in a library.

unc, I've been to Lake Placid, NY...very nice place. Never been to the one in FL and I'm not there now.

Keep in mind my predilection for superlatives. Like awesome librarians, for example.

river city, iowa?

Cemetery?

not in Iowa and not in a cemetey. But this is a very quiet place.

are you in Orfield Lab's floating room, labeled by Guinness as the Quietest Place on earth?

http://media.audiojunkies.com/quiete...-chamber-1.jpg

oh and the deleted post was a spammer, we nixed her and it 86'd her post.

are you perhaps in the northern hemisphere of the planet earth?

well now we have two "yes" 's

but amonkie found me hiding in this very quiet anechoic chamber....I like the "chamber" part best, possibly due to my vampire heritage.

go amo, you're up.

""...monkie, I hope you are not making fun of librarians!!! I love librarians, and libraries..."""

as a bonus, here's a cool library shot for you:

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

Oooh Awesome!

Now for some fun! I'm hiding and all in harmony.

Where am I?

new harmony, indiana?

Got the right country, but not the right state.

I'm feeling a little fuzzy since I've been here... must be the surroundings!

are you in Santa Rosa, CA at the 32nd Annual Harmony Festival? If I was there I'd be looking forward to hearing Slightly Stoopid as well as Swami Beyondananda. I also usually participate in the naked Techno Tribal dancing.

Nope... wrong coast.

And the place I am is a little more permanent, and with the naked Techno tribal dancing I'm in a good place once it gets cold!

north of 40?

in a state that borders the Atlantic Ocean?

Yup

and To Badnick - yes, I am on the Atlantic Coast.

are you at a spa?

Nope.. I'm not at a spa.


I'm a little bit west of feeling like there's noose around my neck. and can they really call this place a state if its so small?

so would that put you iin Rhode Island?

You are on a roll :)

that's prolly cause I had two duck rolls for appetizer yesteryear

...perhaps you're just west of Hanging Rock in Newport R.I. but are you still in Newport?

I was pretty literal with the words i used.. they're a significant clue. So nope.. not in Newport.

are you at the Harmony Rhode Island Sheep Cooperative?
Rhode Island Sheep Cooperative, Rhody Warm Wool Blankets

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

Badnick you are so close.

Right idea, wrong animal. Harmony is part of this farm's name.

So I've been looking for an alpaca farm with "harmony" in the name...no luck in R.I., but I'm having fun searching around and finding new things. Will report back when I find something that fits your clues.

NEAOBA: Paradise Farm Alpacas

here?

nope.. not alpacas.

Think Smaller! I bet one of these is named Billy..

excuse me, miss obvious! ...errr, I mean amonkie, you give good clues!

Are you at Harmony Homestead, a small family owned and operated farm specializing in Pygora Goats, which are prized for their fleece...not to mention they are cute and fuzzy.

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

Bingo!! That I am :)


Good catch! I really didn't think there would be such a town as Nooseneck, but alas, there is.

Learn something new every day... and you're up!

please give me until tomorrow since I have the next place I want to be saved on my work pc and I can't remember where it is do to it now.

OK, where in the world am I this time?

NH?

WH?

yes! yes!

your sofa?

not in or on the sofa this time

are you in the land of legal 420?

nopa dopa

well at first blush I said no (see above) but when I actually consider the facts, the answer is certainly "yes" ...so let's make that a yes.

ps: I recently acquired some prescription grade, quite good < comment, not clue

Another superlative?

yes

Canada?

SA?

not Canada and not SA (i.e., South America)

amongst the british/irish isles?

nope. I'm on this side of the Atlantic O.

Centrish Amerish?

closerish but noish
