not mid-atlantic...I'm a lot closer to shore




^^ ok, bad attempt at humor. I'm not in one of the mid-atlantic states.

Shell

...i thought you were serious (yes, i'm gullible but i'm starting to "get you")...good thing you added that "disclaimer"

...new england?

Are there bridges that connect the island to the mainland?

BadNick

yes new england

no bridges to mainland


ps: after you find the island, I would like you to find the location. This location has some infamous historical significance.

Shell

....Martha's Vineyard?

yes...now can you find the location where I am?

Shell

...Aquinnauh Lighthouse and Cliffs? (i'm guessing as it's steeped in history)

I'm venturing the guess of ghosthouses, and Rhode Island to arrive at:

Block Island - The Palatine Light

Not Aquinnauh Lighthouse and Cliffs...aka Gay Head Light. Now that I'm here again it reminds me of all the summers I spent on Martha's Vineyard in a cool little "camp" on Lake Tashmoo. I can go back again...maybe this summer.

Jet, as mentioned above I'm on Martha's Vineyard, not Block Island R.I.

Here's another clue: to get to where I am, I have to take a another ferry.

Thanks for thinking of me, phil. It was a great story that I was intensely relating to the whole time except for the tragic ending

Are you on Cavanal Hill, the world's tallest hill?

Cavanal Hill is regarded by the Oklahoma Tourism & Recreation Department as the world's tallest hill; at 1,999 feet (609 m), it fails their definition of a mountain by one foot.

Does your location have anything to do with Native American Indians?
