***Where am I now?*** (game) (3)

[Roy Mathers]

No sir.



What does it look like Roy ? :-)


I'm not saying!

[Kendoway]

US? If yes, East of the Mississippi?

[monty28428]

Yes & Yes Chris.

[tomd]

Is this in a theme park?

[monty28428]

Yes it is Tom :-)

[tonylong]

Is it in Florida?

[monty28428]

Yes it is in Florida Tony.

[Kendoway]

Disney? (Epcot?)

[monty28428]

Epcot it is !


Over to you Chris!

[Kendoway]

I'm betting you guys won't even have to work up a sweat for this one :)

Give me the name of the building!

http://i40.tinypic.com/5vqexf.jpg

[tonylong]

In Virginia?

[tomd]

name of the building.....church?

[Kendoway]

Virginia? - no.

Church? Technically (or semantically) it's not a church.

[tonylong]

US, east of the Mississippi?

[Kendoway]

Us - yes.

East Of the Mississippi? It is both East and West of the Mississippi ;)

[tonylong]

Well then...is it north of the Arkansas/Tennessee line?

[Kendoway]

Well then...is it north of the Arkansas/Tennessee line?

No.

[tonylong]

Is this in Louisiana?

[monty28428]

St. Louis Cathedral in Jackson Square, New Orleans ??

[Kendoway]

Louisiana is correct.

[Kendoway]

Oops - too many updates too fast. Monty you are correct!

It's always hard on that "Both East and West Of The Mississippi" answer. When you look on the map, it's part of a loop in the river.

Over to you Monty :D

http://i41.tinypic.com/2po9vo6.jpg

[monty28428]

LOL -- Well I knew it was Andrew Jackson so east/west didn't matter :-)

I'll leave it open to the first taker.

[tomd]

It almost looks: east, west, north and south of the Mississippi River.

[Kendoway]

It almost looks: east, west, north and south of the Mississippi River.

Yeah, it was a bit messy :)

Where the heck is Roy?

[monty28428]

Hopefully he is processing some weekend photos for WAIN :-)

[Roy Mathers]

I've just got in - and I knew the New Orleans picture immediately!

(And yes Monty - I have got some new pics for you!)

[monty28428]

(And yes Monty - I have got some new pics for you!)



Well then post one up!

[Roy Mathers]

OK then, try this one -

[jacuff]

Watford Town Centre, Hertfordshire?

[monty28428]

Looks promising Jacuff!

[Roy Mathers]

That's correct Jacuff - I knew it wouldn't take long Googling for a wasp sculture!

[jacuff]

That's correct Jacuff - I knew it wouldn't take long Googling for a wasp sculture!

Yup, it was the second result for "hornet sculpture" on flickr. Now this one may be a little bit more difficult. Name of the structure is preferred, but I'll probably accept directions on how to get to it.

http://www.justinacuff.net/potn/578234-12.jpg

[tomd]

Is this on the Appalachian Trail?

[Kendoway]

US? If yes, East of the Mississippi?

[Roy Mathers]

US? If yes, East of the Mississippi?


I can see that this is to become your stock first question!:D

[jacuff]

Is this on the Appalachian Trail?
No

US? If yes, East of the Mississippi?
Yes to both US and East of the Mississippi

[monty28428]

in the Blue Ridge National Heritage Area ?

[jacuff]

in the Blue Ridge National Heritage Area ?

Yes it is.

[jacuff]

Anybody? If there's no more guesses after lunch today, I'll tell you this neat little spot (really awesome mid-October) and open it up.

[Kendoway]

I'm guessing it some sort of spot where hikers can stop to take a rest? Is it an un-manned rest stop?

This one's pretty tough Jacuff :)

[tomd]

Is this a place to overnight for hikers?

[jacuff]

I'm guessing it some sort of spot where hikers can stop to take a rest? Is it an un-manned rest stop?

This one's pretty tough Jacuff :)

Yeah, I figured it would be tough, but it does reside on the border of the US's most visited National Park. (A small hint for ya.) I've tried using google and flickr and I'm getting only a handful of results. Most are of the view. Very few of the structure itself.

Yeah it is un-manned and sits beside the trail. Hikers/backpackers probably are the only ones to use this place.

[jacuff]

Is this a place to overnight for hikers?

Officially no. It's not really suitable for an overnight shelter... more of a rest stop/enjoy the view place.

[Roy Mathers]

Well, now we know it's in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park

[jacuff]

Well, now we know it's in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park

Yeah.

[Roy Mathers]

After that, I give up. I am not going through all the rest stops in and around the park!

[jacuff]

After that, I give up. I am not going through all the rest stops in and around the park!

Hehe... I also gave another clue which might help to eliminate the majority of the rest stops in the park. But I'm even having trouble locating much information about it and I know the name. :)

Don't give up yet... I figured it would be tough, that's why I'll even accept the name of the trail you take to get it to. Asking a pretty simple question and using the previous hint should give you the answer to trail pretty quickly.

[tomd]

After that, I give up. I am not going through all the rest stops in and around the park!

we know it's on a border of the park...

[tomd]

Is this the Home of Ephraim Bales?

[jacuff]

Is this the Home of Ephraim Bales?

No.

[monty28428]

Pisgah Forest ?

[monty28428]

Cherokee Forest South ?

[monty28428]

Cherokee Forest North ?

[jacuff]

Pisgah Forest ?
Cherokee Forest South ?
Cherokee Forest North ?

Sorry, I was outside working on my garage this afternoon. It is the Smoky Mountains, but this particular spot doesn't border any of the other National Forests.

I've got more work to do, so I'll just open it up to whoever wants it.

The name of this spot is Taylor's Turnaround (http://lh4.ggpht.com/_jcmx97246fA/R1wcrQmORPI/AAAAAAAAAFQ/RSq6RZcDJk8/_RW_7694+Taylor%27s+Turnaround,+Cataloochee+Divide ,+11-18-07.jpg) aka "The Bus Stop".
It is about 2.5 miles down the Cataloochee Divide trail.

[monty28428]

Man I was just starting to play here Justin!

[monty28428]

:(:(:(

[tomd]

:(:(:(


+1 :(

[Roy Mathers]

What's all the :cry: about?

[glhs509]

What's all the :cry: about?
WAIN withdrawal ;)

[Roy Mathers]

Understandable!

[Kendoway]

Part of my problem is that you guys now know most of the places I've been to, so the barrel is running dry.

Guess I need to go on vacation again :)

[bahelmer]

Here is one.

WAIN?

[DDCSD]

Hmmmm..... In one of the Americas? (South, Central, North)

[bahelmer]

No, not in the Americas.

[Roy Mathers]

Europe?

[bahelmer]

Yes, located in Europe.

[Roy Mathers]

Eastern Europe?

[Kendoway]

Spain? Italy?

[NigelD]

Austria or Germany?

[tomd]

Croatia?

[bahelmer]

Italy is correct.

[Kendoway]

Hmmm... is it castle?

I sort of looks like a caste, but there are no ramparts or towers. I'm thinking it might be a prison, or a stronghold/fort left over from WWII.

[NigelD]

Is it Vitorchiano?

[bahelmer]

It served as a fort or military stronghold. I guess what you see in the photo predates WWII, but this current structure represents the evolution and development of a site which was occupied by a earlier forts or castles since Roman times.

[bahelmer]

Not Vitorchiano.

[Kendoway]

Fort of Bard (Forti de Bard) in the Valle dAosta?

Good grief, Italy has a LOT of forts! :)

[bahelmer]

Yes, the fort of Bard is correct. Over to you.

[tomd]

B: neat place, did you tour the buildings while you were there?

[bahelmer]

No, I spent the day hiking in the mountains nearby. Then we stopped for dinner near the fort, and I snapped the photo from the parking lot. I also have a nice photo of a classic Fiat 500 parked nearby. :)

[Kendoway]

I'm afraid my well of exotic pictures has run dry. I typically shoot nature stuff anyhow (vs urban), and I think this game is more fun with landmarks.

Open to the first taker.

[GoneTomorrow]

Sorry for the tardiness all!

No to the above guesses and not on an island.

[Kendoway]

No to the above guesses and not on an island.

Ok, time to start using proper cartography.

East or West of Switzerland?

[GoneTomorrow]

East of Switzerland.

You guys will kick yourself, this site is world famous ;)

[Roy Mathers]

Croatia?

[monty28428]

France ?

[monty28428]

Cassis harbour ?

[Kendoway]

I think we all need to hold Monty down (I'll grab his legs - someone take the arms) so that we can torture him into revealing his search phrase methodology.

I always seem to fail with searches like:

"Green lighthouse lamp thingy in lake cliff harbor place" :lol:

[bahelmer]

Yes, Monty is correct. It is the lighthouse at Cassis, France.

[bahelmer]

Over to you, Monty. :)

Well now if I was Roy I would ask which one :-)

None of those Tony!

[tonylong]

I follow the KISS approach:)!

[tonylong]

Is it in the USA?

[monty28428]

ROFL!

Yes in the USA.

[Box Brownie]

Hi Guys

[monty28428]

Well you have to hang around a bit because that is quite correct Box!

[Roy Mathers]

Well now if I was Roy I would ask which one :-)

None of those Tony!


Don't spoil it for me Monty!:D

[Box Brownie]

Well you have to hang around a bit because that is quite correct Box!

Phew, well that was a real shot in the dark. The image made me think of that (in)famous battle immediately ~ too many old cowbot movies in my childhood maybe. Having said that I could not find "that" picture anywhere as a proof?

Right just restarting the NAS to see if I have anything to offer??? Be back shortly!

:)

[monty28428]

LOL -- Ok Roy I will do better in the future!

Box nice to see you around - I'm off to watch the fireworks at the beach. Will catch up later.

Hi Monty

Thanks, I have lurked at WAIN but no mental energy of late but I suppose the way I unusually managed to dive in and get it in one could be said I "did a Monty" :lol:

Happy 4th July and next WAIN coming as soon as I have cooked it ;)

Edit - right WAIN ~ not sure how easy this one will be but knowing WAIN I have found an almost identical image by searching on the specific criteria:D

[tomd]

Happy Independence Day (US) WAIN'ers!

[Box Brownie]

Happy Independence Day (US) WAIN'ers!

Ah hemm! clears throat ~ only for you colonial cousins across the pond, just what have you been doing to our 'new lands' since we let you look after yourselves ;) :D

Have a good one all of you 'over there' and do not over indulge ~ remember portion distortion adds pounds on the hips & plenty of other places :lol:

[Box Brownie]

Right guys time for shuteye ~ and I hope all you US WAIN'ers are/have enjoyed the celebrations.

I will check in in a few hours to find all those right guesses ;)

[Kendoway]

Nice to see you Box!
