Close to due east as the crow flies, but taking 70 across will get you close in about an hour.

Ourcrazymodern? · 11-16-2010, 09:06 AM

Are you in a cave?

jewels · 11-16-2010, 09:19 AM

Nope. Just hanging out in the road.

Ourcrazymodern? · 11-16-2010, 09:45 AM

Are you camping or hitch-hiking?

jewels · 11-16-2010, 10:16 AM

Hehe. I'm sitting on the side of the road, waiting to see what will come along.

Ourcrazymodern? · 11-16-2010, 10:37 AM

Outside Mt. Zion United Baptist Church @ 500 Morgantown Road?

Another clue, please.

jewels · 11-16-2010, 10:51 AM

That's pretty darned close. I think I'd accept that as a correct answer since after I chose the town, I realized it's not really a town (?!?!) and it isn't even marked on the map unless you search the name. The actual location I'd chosen is just off State Hwy 743 and was chosen due to its moniker.

BadNick · 11-16-2010, 12:51 PM

So did Ocm? find you?

If not, are you near this little wishing well I found along Hwy 743?

jewels · 11-17-2010, 07:01 AM

I gave it to OCM, although you're a little closer. It was Nick, KY. BUt I have no clue WTF that is.

Ourcrazymodern? · 11-17-2010, 07:08 AM

Since Nick is closer, & your place bears his name, he should be the fox. Where are you, Nick?

BadNick · 11-17-2010, 11:40 AM

Ocm?, I cannot turn away your benevolent fairness so I accept, thank you.

jewels, what do you mean "I have no clue WTF that is"!!!! It's one of the most famous landmarks on the Kentucky sofa, named after a pioneer, adventurer, and raconteur named Nick, who, as you might guess, I'm named after.

Apparently my guess was less than 2 miles from Nick, KY as the crow flies; while Ocm?'s guess was a tad over 10 miles as the crow flies.

Lucky I tossed a coin in that wishing well while I was there.

Please give me a couple hours to go hide since I don't already have a place in mind and I have meetings this afternoon.

jewels · 11-18-2010, 07:34 AM

Okay okay. Since I chose it on your behalf, get to work, Nickitus. You guys are vicious!

It's just that OCM worked much harder, so it didn't seem quite fair.

BadNick · 11-18-2010, 10:59 AM

Where in the world am I?

uncle phil · 11-18-2010, 02:24 PM

in the city of 'brotherly love?'

BadNick · 11-18-2010, 06:56 PM

In real life, I'm about 6 miles from Billy Penn on top of City Hall, but I'm not in the c. of b.l. for this game. It seems a lot of us here now love our brother Vick. I just helped my son write a satirical essay about him and his rehabilitation, repentance, rebirth and the good old American "give the guy a second chance", etc., especially if he can win you the Super Bowl.

uncle phil · 11-19-2010, 03:30 AM

jewels · 11-19-2010, 05:44 AM

Panama?

BadNick · 11-19-2010, 06:24 AM

yes nh

not Panama, though that word makes me blush red

Ourcrazymodern? · 11-19-2010, 07:01 AM

BadNick · 11-19-2010, 07:07 AM

nope. I'm in NH & WH

Ourcrazymodern? · 11-19-2010, 07:19 AM

securely ensconced in our homeland?

BadNick · 11-19-2010, 09:24 AM

Yes, though the "ensconced" part may be a stretch since I am rather peripherally in the homeland.

Ourcrazymodern? · 11-19-2010, 09:31 AM

to the east or the west?

BadNick · 11-19-2010, 11:27 AM

yes

j/k, I'm being a bad guy. I'm quite in the middle, but west of Old Miss.

Ourcrazymodern? · 11-19-2010, 12:28 PM

& peripheral? Okay, north or south?

uncle phil · 11-19-2010, 01:26 PM

bordering canadia?

BadNick · 11-19-2010, 08:13 PM

nope, go south

uncle phil · 11-20-2010, 03:16 AM

north of 40?

Ourcrazymodern? · 11-20-2010, 08:25 AM

...Galveston?

jewels · 11-20-2010, 08:54 AM

Transylvania?

BadNick · 11-20-2010, 10:32 AM

homing in on me...I'm just over 200 miles from Galveston. The name of this place is associated with our beloved forum.

jewels, I don't see any vampires around here but it's daytime now so I'm not sure what happens after dark...with a full moon

uncle phil · 11-20-2010, 11:20 AM

janis joplin, of "full tilt boogie" fame, was born in port arthur, texas...

Full Tilt Boogie Band - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

could that be where you are?

BadNick · 11-20-2010, 12:29 PM

Good guess, unc, but no. But you have the right idea by trying to associate it with TFP.

uncle phil · 11-20-2010, 01:30 PM

B4-U-EAT - Tilted Kilt Pub & Eatery in Houston Texas Restaurant & Dining Guide

here?

BadNick · 11-20-2010, 02:34 PM

nudder gud one, unc...but no. I'm not at a restaurant, bar, pub, eatery/drinkery type place.

clue: tilted transportation

uncle phil · 11-21-2010, 03:52 AM

goliad, texas - home of the "texas mile?"

http://www.texasmile.net/index.php

BadNick · 11-21-2010, 02:37 PM

ahh, I have a soft spot for Goliad and the Texas Mile, but I'm not there. Go just about due south. I'm less than 5 miles from the Gulf of Mexico.

uncle phil · 11-22-2010, 03:58 AM

i'm kinda stumped...

Ourcrazymodern? · 11-22-2010, 07:09 AM

South of I-37 & east of US 77?
