***Where am I now?*** (game) (4)

[tonylong]

Is this in Montana?

[monty28428]

Is this in Montana?

Yes

A coastal state?

So no.

[monty28428]

LOL -- Hi Roy!

[tonylong]

Is this east of Antwerp:)?

Oh, ummm...Is this in Glacier NM?

[monty28428]

There is a Glacier NM ?

[tonylong]

Sorry, Glacier National Monument:).

[monty28428]

No not there Tony. :-)

[tonylong]

Sorry I guess it's properly Glacier National Park -- well, it's not there, so...

Is this west of Highway 15?

[Roy Mathers]

LOL -- Hi Roy!

I deleted this after I saw the Rocky Mountain state reference:D

[monty28428]

Not West of interstate 15.

[tonylong]

Is this north of I-90?

[monty28428]

Not north of I-90 in Montana at any rate.

[monty28428]

LOL - I know Roy and I was hard pressed not to give you bad time about it :-)

[tonylong]

Well, I'm glad I caught my Antwerp goof in time, or you would have picked on me too:)!

[monty28428]

LOL -- Well I was to busy trying to get you and Gail into another spat :-)

[tonylong]

Is this west of Billings?

[monty28428]

BTW not north of I-90 in Montana cuts a pretty thin slice.

[monty28428]

Yes west of Billings.

[tonylong]

LOL -- Well I was to busy trying to get you and Gail into another spat :-)

Troublemaker!

[tonylong]

Is this in the Gallatin National Forest?

[monty28428]

No it's not GNF Tony as most of that if not all is North of the I-90 entry point into Montana :-)

[Roy Mathers]

LOL - I know Roy and I was hard pressed not to give you bad time about it :-)

I admire your restraint:)

[monty28428]

:-) It was very hard Roy I assure you!

I hope you all realize that not north of I-90 means south of the WY/MT border.

[tonylong]

Ah, well now we have a problem, since you earlier said it was north of the Wyoming/Montana border, and your reference for I-90 is where it actuall crosses that border -- is this actually on that border?

[tonylong]

Oops, I was thinking of the wrong border!

West Yellowstone?

[monty28428]

Is this north of the Colorado/Wyoming border?


I don't see Montana in that question Tony...

[monty28428]

Yes West Yellowstone it is!! I certainly do not expect the store name so over to you Tony!

Good job and you are a great sport!

[tonylong]

Sorry, I had to skip off for a bit, but now I'm back, and I hereby declare the game OPEN!

The Monty + Tony battle was epic though.

I'm thinking of publishing it as a short treatise for the commode.

[Roy Mathers]

Point Reyes?

[grj_app]

Point Reyes?

That's it! This was taken in Sept if I remember correctly, a very cold and foggy day while it was nice and sunny in San Francisco. There are quite a few trees like that and the fog makes it a bit spooky too. This little road is on the way to the lighthouse.

Over to you, Roy.

[Kendoway]

I feel like a junior researcher who does all of the legwork before the big board meeting, and then Monty, Roy, or Derek pops in to say "We've discovered where you are and the location is a massage parlor located in a strip mall in Terra Haute Indiana".

[sulk]

[monty28428]

Well speaking for myself of course -- those are the types of places I frequent :-)

Heh! Hey, that's a project -- by this time next year I will be able to identify every strip club and massage parlor in the Portland area if it shows up in WAIN! Especially interior shots:)!

[Roy Mathers]

Thanks to jrg_app. The last time I went to Point Reyes, I literally couldn't stand up, it was so windy. And the next time I visit the USA, I must make sure to go to Terre Haute, Indiana!

Here's my next one -

Yes, North America.

I don't have to answer Ken's question about Georgia, since Nigel has got it spot on. Well done Nigel.

[glhs509]

I don't have to answer Ken's question about Georgia, since Nigel has got it spot on. Well done Nigel.
Roy, I'll need to reconsider allowing you to babysit the kids...

Ken's kids: What's for dinner?
Roy: I don't have to answer that.
Ken's kids: Can we go to the zoo?
Roy: I don't have to answer that.
Ken's kids: :confused:

[NigelD]

Thanks Roy - I don't have one ready at the moment so open to the first taker .

[annietex]

[Roy Mathers]

Ken's kids: What's for dinner?
Roy: I don't have to answer that.
Ken's kids: Can we go to the zoo?
Roy: I don't have to answer that.
Ken's kids: :confused:

I thought that was the best way to answer children!:)

[tomd]

Lol , you guys are entertainment!

[Roy Mathers]

Roy, have you been visiting my inlaws? :eek::eek:


Explain Ann!

(We haven't seen you around for a time!)

[Darsk47]

Let's try this one.

WAIN?

[annietex]

Explain Ann!

(We haven't seen you around for a time!)

My husband's parents live in Macon! And that's funny because I've never see that bandstand. It appears I've might have been missing out on some interesting sights. Have you been to Rose Hill Cemetery there? It's the most interesting place.

I know I've been away wayyy tooo long! I need to get back on the WAIN train :D:D:D

[annietex]

Ok, I guess North America?

[Darsk47]

[annietex]

Cascade Falls?

[Darsk47]

Cascade Falls?

not cascade falls

[Roy Mathers]

Are there any distinguishing/historical/unique/noteworthy aspects of this place that would help us identify it?

[Darsk47]

Well, no one ever tried to go over it in a barrel if that's what you mean but, it shares a name with the river that runs through it; it is named on the google map, there a lot of google image hits on it as well as you tube.

[sparkin]

Hmm, I guess it's not the Niagara falls then, but is it on the Niagara river ?

[Darsk47]

Hmm, could it be Niagara Falls ?

It could be if it had a 1,060 foot brink, was 176 feet tall and had 150,000 gallons of water going over it per second.

But since it doesn't, I'm going to say no.

[Darsk47]

It's not on the Niagara River.

[Roy Mathers]

Chippewa River Falls?

[sparkin]

It could be if it had a 1,060 foot brink, was 176 feet tall and had 150,000 gallons of water going over it per second.

But since it doesn't, I'm going to say no.

Yeah, I realized that was a dumb suggestion as soon as I hit submit, and wasn't fast enough with an edit. :oops:

Perhaps some watercourse in that general area though ?

[Darsk47]

Chippewa River Falls?


Bullseye !

No messing with this one huh Roy ? Just bam ! One guess, here it it....well done. :)

[Roy Mathers]

It saves messing around doesn't it Darcy?:D

I'm afraid that I won't be here much to monitor the answers if I post one, so I'll leave it open to whomsoever wishes.

[sparkin]

Thanks Sean -- Nice WAIN.

I'm off to watch some football -- so I will leave it open to the first taker!

Wow, I can't believe that Google Street view drove through there!

Nice work!

Over to you Ken!

[glhs509]

Thanks Derek...you'd be surprised how many new places are probably added daily on street view...

I'll leave it open (again) and refrain from guessing for a while

[Kendoway]

I'm amazed as well.

How did you find it Ken?

[DDCSD]

I'm amazed as well.

How did you find it Ken?


I'm guessing he looked for Missouri River crossings in SD and found the bridge with nothing on either side of the river! :)

[glhs509]
