yes, I'm in a landlocked state. Funny thing, the official name of this place reminded me of unc, and you'll eventually find out why.

Tully Mars

In Arizona?

Nice park...but it's in California which is not landlocked. So that's the wrong state and not where I'm at.

I've been to a Philmont Boy Scout camp in the Philadelphia area but I'm not at the one in NM....though that is the correct state.

So yes, I am in New Mexico. Dig deeper, folks...I know you can find me.

Tully Mars

Nevada?

...^ see above. Not Nevada.

I like it when you call me those kind of names, but I'm not rafting the Canadian...unless that's some kind of code words for something I've not yet done with a Canadian. I'll look into that.


So people.....I'm someplace in New Mexico.

girldetective

The Canadian does run thru NEW MEXICO (but I dont think its the unka).

Are you nukin it up at the Natl Atomic Museum?

I sincerely beg your pardon, Ms. girldetective. You may now add "dumbass" to "Badboy", though I won't forget this geography lesson. I now know that the Canadian River does flow through New Mexico...and since they say a pic is worth a thousand words, here's a nice pic of the Canadian River at the Conchas Dam and Lake site:



Otherwise, no I am not at the National Atomic Museum....it looks like I'm ~300 miles south-southeast from there. Keep digging and you'll find me. I also noticed we'd be passing through Roswell NM on the way to where I am...so let's stop and say "hi" to the aliens.

uncle phil

truth or consequences?

BadNick

sorry, unc...it's consequences, since that's not where I am. Try another ~170 miles east-southeast and hurry up, it's so cool down here.

....though apparently the roads don't go through White Sands so you have to drive circuitously about 270 miles to get here, unless you have a dune buggy or sand rail with a big fuel tank and can cut through the desert...or maybe even a solar powered dune buggy.

girldetective

Dude. Are you at Carlsbad?

BadNick

Wow, gd hits another one!!!!

Yes, I'm in Carlsbad...in the Caverns, thus I said "dig" a couple times and "it's cool down here". When at the top of this page I said it reminded me of unc, it's because google maps calls it "Carlsbad Caverns, Uninc Eddy County, NM" ...so I presume "uninc" might mean unincorporated, but it just reminds me of unc.

Go girly...go hide and let us find you.

girldetective

Im here. Biding my time, waiting for you.

Its one of our favorite places, no doubt. Even if you havent been yet.

Head East from Carlsbad.

hi, jorgelito...it's nice to have some more fresh blood in this game. And I say that as a man with family history from the Carpathian Mountains so I would know.

gd,
I'm guessing you're in Lisbon, Portugal’s City on Hills; so if you want to explore it you would have to walk up a lot of hills...though very worth it. Not to mention the food and drink!



If we need to guess the building you're in, I'm gonna guess Palácio Nacional da Pena:

girldetective

i wish I was in Lisbon!

But instead Im looking over the history of the world.

Hello? Am I alone here?

Are you in the Tate Modern or one of the other art galleries on South Bank?

No, but I was thinking of visiting there at a later date, and having dinner up top.

Im where its free and easy, every day of the week.

Speaking of art, as well as the Lewis' I can see the American print collection they have up for viewing right now.
