Where In the World Am I? - Page 101 - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

BadNick · 12-26-2008, 08:20 AM

yes NH and yes WH.

The place I am is not a city. It's in the category of "superlative, man-made" ...meaning it's at the top of the heap in its category.

that big-ass super mall in alberta?

BadNick · 12-26-2008, 08:33 AM

yes US...so not Alberta, or any mall. I hate malls, though I leave open my options to going to one whenever I choose.

uncle phil · 12-26-2008, 08:38 AM

that series of lakes east of cincinnati?

BadNick · 12-26-2008, 12:15 PM

not any lake...perhaps those lakes you mean are man-made, but also keep that clue in mind.

uncle phil · 12-26-2008, 12:44 PM

those four guys carved in that mountain in the dakotas?

Tully Mars · 12-26-2008, 01:20 PM

east of the river?

BadNick · 12-26-2008, 10:58 PM

Nope, not those four guys. And I'm west of the river.

uncle phil · 12-27-2008, 03:01 AM

does the state you are in border on an ocean?

Tully Mars · 12-27-2008, 03:42 AM

North of 40?

BadNick · 12-27-2008, 08:36 AM

not on an ocean, south of 40 deg lat.

uncle phil · 12-27-2008, 10:49 AM

in oklahoma?

BadNick · 12-27-2008, 04:38 PM

not OK

Tully Mars · 12-28-2008, 03:20 AM

Arizona?

uncle phil · 12-28-2008, 03:25 AM

gulf state?

BadNick · 12-28-2008, 09:59 AM

not in Arizona and not in a Gulf state.

uncle phil · 12-28-2008, 11:27 AM

newer mexico?

Tully Mars · 12-28-2008, 11:47 AM

Nevada?

BadNick · 12-28-2008, 03:07 PM

not NM and not NV ...not many possible states left.

uncle phil · 12-28-2008, 04:00 PM

under 40...colorado?

BadNick · 12-28-2008, 04:51 PM

yes, under the 40 in CO

Tully Mars · 12-29-2008, 03:32 AM

NORAD?

uncle phil · 12-29-2008, 04:42 AM

red rocks?

BadNick · 12-29-2008, 08:27 AM

nope, neither of those. This is a man-made structure and something about it has that "superlative" category going for it.

uncle phil · 12-29-2008, 10:38 AM

that new grand canyon skywalk?

Tully Mars · 12-29-2008, 11:00 AM

That large "W" on Tenderfoot Mountain?

BadNick · 12-29-2008, 02:01 PM

Neither of those, guys. Keep looking....in fact, if you look down from where I am you will probably get dizzy unless you are very non-vertigoish.

uncle phil · 12-29-2008, 02:42 PM

maroon creek trestle in aspen?

Tully Mars · 12-29-2008, 05:36 PM

Pearl Pass?

BadNick · 12-29-2008, 09:14 PM

nope. Look about 100 miles S.E. of Pearl Pass...and I think Aspen is just a few miles north of Pearl Pass. This place has a superlative man-made object here, not just a cool natural place.

uncle phil · 12-30-2008, 04:48 AM

mesa verde national park?

BadNick · 12-30-2008, 09:15 AM

nope....I'm standing on a man-made structure.

uncle phil · 12-30-2008, 09:24 AM

the pikes peak cog railway?

BadNick · 12-30-2008, 10:01 AM

nope.

I'll wait for Tul to make another guess and if you guys are still lost I'll tell you what kind of structure it is....that will greatly narrow down the choices. But I am getting dizzy standing here looking down.

uncle phil · 12-30-2008, 10:27 AM

the comm tower in hoyt?

BadNick · 12-30-2008, 12:23 PM

no bites? ...so to help celebrate the New Year

I'm editing my post below with a more obvious clue: the terms I used that are now in red relate to the game of bridge, the card game...get it! "bridge" and "superlative" "getting dizzy standing here looking down"

well I declare! ...no

This is my trick here, I'm giving you guys an opening lead, don't be a dummy.

BadNick · 01-01-2009, 12:39 PM

....give up, or need more clues?

uncle phil · 01-01-2009, 01:28 PM

leadville, colorado? the highest incorporated city in the united states?
