Water storage tank, or tower, perhaps?

raging moderate · 07-22-2010, 07:15 PM

a pool?

uncle phil · 07-23-2010, 02:22 AM

not underground, not a storage tank or tower, and not a pool...

Tully Mars · 07-23-2010, 02:33 AM

A canal?

uncle phil · 07-23-2010, 02:50 AM

not a canal, but the type of "body" of water i am in begins with a "c..."

Tully Mars · 07-23-2010, 02:50 AM

Creek?

uncle phil · 07-23-2010, 03:11 AM

i am a creek...

BadNick · 07-23-2010, 06:34 AM

Being a Philly Phanatic, I have to ask: are you in Silver Creek, NY?

Silver Creek's most famous resident is Howard "Bob" Ehmke. He was the pitching hero of the 1929 World Series. While playing for the Philadelphia Athletics, Ehmke struck out 13 Chicago Cubs in Game 1, a World Series record until 1953.

uncle phil · 07-23-2010, 06:36 AM

not in silver creek, but i am a creek, north of there...

BadNick · 07-23-2010, 10:22 AM

Are you in Bergholtz Creek, the northern boundary of the Love Canal neighborhood in Niagara Falls, NY? If you are, we love you anyway, unc. Even if you glow in the dark and have two heads.

uncle phil · 07-23-2010, 10:38 AM

i am east of bergholtz creek...

BadNick · 07-23-2010, 11:40 AM

are you at Tonawanda Creek? I was just following that creek on a map and talk about long and winding creek!!!

uncle phil · 07-23-2010, 05:10 PM

east of tonawanda creek...

BadNick · 07-23-2010, 06:35 PM

how about Maxwell Creek? Maxwell Creek Inn Area Attractions

uncle phil · 07-24-2010, 02:25 AM

too far east...

Tully Mars · 07-24-2010, 03:15 AM

Are you down on Cripple Creek?

uncle phil · 07-24-2010, 04:37 PM

nope, but the ultimate "cripple" happened here, hence the name of the creek...

BadNick · 07-24-2010, 07:30 PM

sounds like that might be Dead Creek? If so, any particular reason to be there?

uncle phil · 07-25-2010, 04:51 AM

no, no, no, no, no, we've already established that i'm west of maxwell creek, which is up near sodus as i recall......

dead creek is a great guess, though...

BadNick · 07-25-2010, 03:30 PM

are you within 20 miles of Rochester?

uncle phil · 07-25-2010, 04:07 PM

i am definitely more than 20 miles west of rochester...

BadNick · 07-25-2010, 05:02 PM

are you at Oak Orchard Creek? ...just reading about it and looking at a few pics it seems like interesting geology related to the Niagara Escarpment

uncle phil · 07-26-2010, 02:36 AM

just a few miles west of oak orchard creek...

BadNick · 07-26-2010, 12:52 PM

are you at Johnson's Creek?

In that area all I found was that some early settlers moved from Yates Center (north of Lyndonville) to take advantage of water power provided by Johnson's Creek. If that's not it, I'll give it more thought later as I play with my Johnson.

uncle phil · 07-26-2010, 01:01 PM

way too far east...

hint - i'm in erie county, very close to niagara county - in fact, part of me runs through niagara county...

Tully Mars · 07-26-2010, 02:06 PM

I just can not find a decent maps with creeks of the area.

Is there a "Jump Off" creek there?

uncle phil · 07-26-2010, 03:24 PM

possibly, if it resulted in someone's death, but that's not the place...

Tully Mars · 07-26-2010, 03:47 PM

Tonawanda Creek?

uncle phil · 07-26-2010, 04:07 PM

east of tonawanda wanda creek...

but, aunt phil said it brought up some memories...

http://www.forgottenbuffalo.com/forg...ffalobeer.html

BadNick · 07-26-2010, 05:42 PM

this place seems to add up with some of the clues:

Are you at Murder Creek?

...which according to my reference is a tributary of Tonawanda Creek, which I guessed wrong, then sixteen posts later Tully guessed wrong again just to make sure it was wrong

...I guess sort of to murder that guess of Tonawanda Creek. So I'm partially indebted to Tully for helping me come up with that murdered guess. Thanks, Tul

...this is assuming it's the right guess, which may be a wrong conclusion until unc confirm it, or not.

Thank you, dear. I hope it was as good for you as it was for me

Sorry, folks, I was busy with a strange woman I found in bed....not "strange" in a bad way, just someone I didn't know ...in the biblical sense.

Sort of related to this escapade, where in the world am I?
