[DDCSD]

Hey Derek...I think it might be Oregon Petroglyph Park...What do you think?

[RandallC]

You poxy gutter strumpets are making light of my geo-divisional cartography devices.

But, it is west of Austria.

And east of Australia.

[Roy Mathers]

Oh yes, I forgot. I would guess that it's about 6am there - is that right?

Thought you might have been looking at the map upside down! :lol:

[tonylong]

[tonylong]

How about a less obscure question: is this west of Portsmouth?

[Roy Mathers]

Excuse my ignorance Roy- I'm an ignorant Scot- what are the Cinque Ports?



:D:D

I quote -

The Confederation of Cinque Ports is a historic series of coastal towns in Kent (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kent) and Sussex (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sussex), at the eastern end of the English Channel (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_Channel) where the crossing to the continent is narrowest. It was originally formed for military and trade purposes, but is now entirely ceremonial.
The name is Norman French (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norman_French) for "five ports" – the five being Hastings (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hastings), New Romney (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Romney), Hythe (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hythe,_Kent), Dover (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dover,_England), and Sandwich (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandwich,_Kent). They are supported by the two antient towns (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Antient_towns&action=edit&redlink=1) of Rye (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rye,_East_Sussex) and Winchelsea (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winchelsea), whose councils traditionally maintained defence contingents for the realm of England.

[Roy Mathers]

East of Portsmouth then?

You are perfectly correct Tom. Well done.

[Roy Mathers]

Randall - you'll now see that Tom pipped everyone to it. By the way, I don't know the 'Istanbul Strait' - it's called the Bosphorus.

Over to you Tom.

[RandallC]

Randall - you'll now see that Tom pipped everyone to it. .

I hate being pipped :)

[tomd]

[ChrisRabior]

Woodward Dream Cruise?

[Kendoway]

Bah, sorry. Should have read back further.

[RandallC]

Somewhere along Telegraph Road?

[RandallC]

Or 16 Mile Road?

[Roy Mathers]

Aren't these places for the Woodward Dream Cruise in Detroit, or at least Metro Detroit? I thought Darsk said it wasn't Detroit.

[RandallC]

Aren't these places for the Woodward Dream Cruise in Detroit, or at least Metro Detroit? I thought Darsk said it wasn't Detroit.

But if it's east of Farmington??

[Roy Mathers]

Yes, I don't understand it either. No doubt Darsk will clear up the confusion when he comes back online.

[tonylong]

Is this along I-94?

[RandallC]

Ok, I think I found it.

The intersection of Woodward Ave and S. Old Woodward Ave in Birmingham?

http://www.bing.com/maps/default.aspx?v=2&FORM=LMLTCC&cp=r2q6cj81zbrd&style=o&lvl=1&tilt=-90&dir=0&alt=-1000&phx=0&phy=0&phscl=1&scene=18678095&encType=1#

[Roy Mathers]

Where are you Darsk?

[tonylong]

He took a wrong turn, got stuck in downtown Detroit in a traffic jam...

[Roy Mathers]

Yes, but whereabouts in Detroit? (perhaps he was driving with only one hand!).

[tonylong]

Soon, we'll have to have another thread, Where Is He Now? just to continue with this thread!

[Darsk47]

Sorry gang ....too long to explain what happened that left you hanging.

Randall C nailed it.

It's where Woodward and Old Woodward meet up looking north, in Birmingham MI.

A pal and I took in the Dream Cruise from his helicopter , no traffic up where we were.
Shot is a digital still taken from a video recorder I was using.

Over to you Randall.

[Darsk47]

He took a wrong turn, got stuck in downtown Detroit in a traffic jam...


Tony - you learn your way around 'The 313' very quickly. And you simply don't take wrong turns. Your well-being depends on it.

[RandallC]

I'm going to be offline most of today (and the next few days), so it's open to anyone.

[DDCSD]

Alright, let's get this game moving again.
