port moresby?

BadNick · 06-15-2011, 05:54 AM

I always think New Guinea looks like a brontosaurus. Port Moresby is on the tail end and I'm a lot closer to the head end.

Lindy · 06-15-2011, 08:28 AM

Are you in the Indonesian (Western) part of the brontosaurus?

BadNick · 06-15-2011, 10:49 AM

uncle phil · 06-15-2011, 01:03 PM

near manokwari?

BadNick · 06-15-2011, 06:26 PM

I'm a bit over 200 miles S.E. of Manokwari. Not right on the coast.

This is a natural place but "man" is having a major impact here and if you can also keep the superlative thing in mind you'll be golden.

uncle phil · 06-16-2011, 02:27 AM

puncak jaya?

BadNick · 06-16-2011, 04:36 AM

Close but no cigar. You can probably see me from there but that's not where I am.

uncle phil · 06-16-2011, 11:29 AM

mt. wilhelm?

BadNick · 06-16-2011, 12:02 PM

Nope, but the word "berg" means mountain and that's part of the name of where I am.

uncle phil · 06-16-2011, 12:14 PM

ah, the grasberg mine, the largest gold mine in the world...

Grasberg mine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

BadNick · 06-16-2011, 04:09 PM

well done, you found the pot of gold at the end of my rainbow

You're up next, unc. Or down in case you find another big hole. Though this giant hole is up anwyay since it's at 14,000 ft. above sea level.

uncle phil · 06-17-2011, 12:25 PM

BadNick · 06-17-2011, 02:24 PM

I decided to try Google Earth to find you (see below) so I put "uncle phil" in the search box and one place it suggested was Uncle Phil's in Kings Park, NY. Are you there?

uncle phil · 06-17-2011, 02:32 PM

nope, i'm still just a city...

Ourcrazymodern? · 06-17-2011, 02:47 PM

Ourcrazymodern? · 06-18-2011, 02:01 PM

uncle phil · 06-18-2011, 06:24 PM

Ourcrazymodern? · 06-18-2011, 07:00 PM

BadNick · 06-18-2011, 09:37 PM

That seems like it would have to be true.

Are you east of 81?

uncle phil · 06-19-2011, 03:04 AM

Ourcrazymodern? · 06-19-2011, 09:51 AM
