BadNick · 06-11-2010, 03:38 PM

south of the 40

Zooksport2 · 06-11-2010, 03:52 PM

Arizona?

uncle phil · 06-11-2010, 04:07 PM

landlocked state?

BadNick · 06-11-2010, 05:57 PM

no & no

Stick · 06-11-2010, 07:17 PM

Florida?

BadNick · 06-11-2010, 09:21 PM

Stick, not Florida.

Earlier on I answered Zook that I'm in the western half of North America, so definitely west of the Mississippi, our beloved Mrs. But yes in the USA as I replied to unc earlier.

Back to the hunt.

uncle phil · 06-12-2010, 02:05 AM

californicatia?

BadNick · 06-12-2010, 09:31 AM

oh, yes, do it again...now you're coming the right way

where I am in CA is sort of related to something in the news recently, not directly but as another "superlative" example, as I'm wont to do in this thread.

uncle phil · 06-12-2010, 01:25 PM

south of san francisco?

BadNick · 06-12-2010, 01:48 PM

yes, and a bit east of it...not that you could go too far west

Zooksport2 · 06-12-2010, 04:48 PM

are you near a sporting complex?

BadNick · 06-12-2010, 06:06 PM

Zook, I just looked around here and didn't see anything like that. In any case, where I am has nothing to do with sports.

Zooksport2 · 06-12-2010, 06:11 PM

I was thinking world cup.... soccer

So, SE of SF... San Jose?

BadNick · 06-12-2010, 06:20 PM

I thought you thought that, but you thought wrong.

Not San Jose. Go about 240'ish more miles S.E. Look for something that reminds you of current news reports.

Zooksport2 · 06-13-2010, 12:09 AM

Dunno about over there, but here, it's either been the 40% mining tax increase, or the BP saga...

On hwy 395?

uncle phil · 06-13-2010, 02:03 AM

near santa barbara?

BadNick · 06-13-2010, 07:41 AM

Bingo on the BP saga connection. But south of 395, even south of Rt 5.

unc, also north of Santa Barbara.

uncle phil · 06-14-2010, 02:31 AM

south of 166?

BadNick · 06-14-2010, 05:29 AM

no, just about NE of it

uncle phil · 06-14-2010, 06:04 AM

ford city?

BadNick · 06-14-2010, 07:28 AM

very close but go a little more toward I-5 and search for something that reminds us of the current BP fiasco

uncle phil · 06-14-2010, 09:41 AM

are you on gas company road?

BadNick · 06-14-2010, 10:03 AM

Close but no cigar for you, unc. My sources say this place is on Petroleum Club Rd.

uncle phil · 06-14-2010, 10:15 AM

so you're in taft?

BadNick · 06-14-2010, 10:21 AM

very close, but slightly east:

"...about a half-mile east of the Taft-Maricopa Highway, State Route 33..."

The name of this place is noted for what is here that caused its significance, so it's not a town name.

uncle phil · 06-14-2010, 11:10 AM

i'm right there but i don't see nuttin'...

BadNick · 06-14-2010, 12:09 PM

Stop looking at that nice ass and look at the ground. Do you see a lot of oil impregnated soil? There is a historic marker mentioning this place and the event that took place right here in the early 1900's. I'll jump up and down so maybe you'll see me.

uncle phil · 06-14-2010, 01:06 PM

la brea tar pits? i thought they were in los angeles...

BadNick · 06-14-2010, 03:30 PM

They probably are, since I don't see them around here. This place is related to oil, as in oil wells, oil production, etc. and then connected in a way to the BP disaster.

uncle phil · 06-15-2010, 03:22 AM

midway - sunset?

BadNick · 06-15-2010, 05:14 AM

nope. I hope you guys don't let this be the first "I give up" in this game...would it be? I haven't looked back thru it all. You are so close.

Think about this, I'll lay it out again: you are in an oil field where lots of oil drilling has taken place, starting way back in the early 1900's. Then "oops" something unexpected and real bad happened. On a worldwide scale of all time bad events of this sort, this one right here ranks way up there.

Zooksport2 · 06-15-2010, 06:23 AM

So, an oil spill of some sort... so must be an old well?

BadNick · 06-15-2010, 07:32 AM

yes, Zook. I'm in an oil field where something bad of a superlative magnitude happened many years ago.

uncle phil · 06-15-2010, 12:12 PM

ah-HA!!! the lakeview gusher number one!!!

Lakeview Gusher - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

BadNick · 06-15-2010, 01:03 PM

Bingo! I'm gushing with pleasure that you finally found me, unc. You're up.

Since you already posted the Lakeview Gusher link, I'll just add this interesting one I found while trying to put the current BP fiasco into a magnitude perspective:

Oil spill - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Depending on the final tally, who knows where the current gusher will end up but I don't have a good feeling about it.

uncle phil · 06-16-2010, 03:06 AM

i'll find someplace today...

that was a tough one, nick...

BadNick · 06-16-2010, 11:15 AM

thanks, and quite relevant to the BP-caused tragedy we're now dealing with.

uncle phil · 06-17-2010, 04:00 AM

ok, where am i?

Zooksport2 · 06-17-2010, 04:03 AM

Are you north of the equator?

uncle phil · 06-17-2010, 04:11 AM

yes...
