[monty28428]

Not OBX Chris.

BTW -- I think I would take a different approach :-)

[sparkin]

North or south of CB ?

[monty28428]

South of CB Sean.

[glhs509]

Surely this (http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Kure+Beach&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Kure+Beach,+New+Hanover,+North+Carolina&gl=us&ei=CKEJS7HsM5mwMqy96ewO&ved=0CBgQ8gEwAA&ll=33.994523,-77.907894&spn=0.006974,0.013937&t=h&z=17&layer=c&cbll=33.994616,-77.90786&panoid=pydQMF8yq5JUzPSzFmRKCw&cbp=12,153.8,,0,-6.64) must be the teal colored home in your WAIN...

It surely is :-) Over to you Ken!

[monty28428]

You guys know me... I seldom leave pleasure Island :-)

[glhs509]

We don't blame you Monty!
Here's a quickie to keep things going (my pitiful Bears don't play until this evening, so I'll pass the time here :))
WAIN?

[Sir Plug]

[sparkin]

Looks pretty good Sean.

I recognized the boot.:D

[monty28428]

Only boots I know have beer in them :-)

[tomd]

WAIN is active for a weekend

[glhs509]

You got it Sean...Abe's boot...
Over to you sir...

[sparkin]

Cheers Ken, I hope your Bears do ok.

[sparkin]

My Old Kentucky Dinner Train?

That's it - way too easy! :lol:

[jacuff]

That's it - way too easy! :lol:

Hehehe... yeah just a search of Kentucky Train yielded that as the second result.

Ok, here's the next WAIN:

[sparkin]

TN ?

[jacuff]

TN ?

Yes

[RandallC]

Wow. There are a lot of waterfalls in Tennessee. And they all kind of look similar.

How about Laurel Falls?

[tomd]

looks promising Randy

[RandallC]

looks promising Randy
Unless the photo I found wasn't labeled correctly. I saw other shots of Laurel Falls that didn't look anything like the WAIN shot.

[sparkin]

Unless the photo I found wasn't labeled correctly. I saw other shots of Laurel Falls that didn't look anything like the WAIN shot.

There's nearly a dozen Laurel Falls in TN !

[jacuff]

Hehe... That's because there are several Laurel Falls in TN. I wasn't going to accept just Laurel Falls because the most popular one is the one in the Smoky Mountains. This one is in the Cherokee National Forest. Since you posted that link, I'd accept that.

Over to you Randy.

Over to you Randy.

Sneaky. Good thing I found the photo or this could have turned into another Moenkopi :)

I have nothing in the queue, so I'll turn over to the first taker.

[sparkin]

I have nothing in the queue, so I'll turn over to the first taker.

Ok, to keep things rolling ... hopefully this will last a bit longer than my last one.

[glhs509]

Guess I'll start...Nikko Toshogu?

[sparkin]

Guess I'll start...Nikko Toshogu?

Not there.

I'm out now 'til tomorrow morning.

[Kendoway]

Japan?

[sparkin]

Japan?

Yes.

[RandallC]

East of Osaka?

[sparkin]

East of Osaka?

Hmm, how to answer this ?

It may be east of the geographic centre of Osaka, but if so it is not by much.;)

[RandallC]

I think I may have totally lucked out picking Osaka as a random reference point.

How about the Sumiyoshi Taisha Shrine?

Ok, WAIN?

[Roy Mathers]

Not Vail.

Ca ?

[RandallC]

Not California.

[tomd]

Colorado?

[Roy Mathers]

Canada?

[DDCSD]

Aspen, CO?

[DDCSD]

Aspen was a wild guess and I have done no searching and have no clue if I'm right or not. If I would happen to have gotten it, I'll leave it open.

[RandallC]

Colorado?
No

Canada?
Yes

Aspen was a wild guess and I have done no searching and have no clue if I'm right or not. If I would happen to have gotten it, I'll leave it open.
No worries. It's not Aspen :)

[sparkin]

Whistler ?

[RandallC]

Whistler ?
That's correct! Home of the Winter Olympics in just 81 days.

Back over to you.

[tomd]

So i have only 80 days to find a credential ;)

[RandallC]

So i have only 80 days to find a credential ;)
That would be nice. Wouldn't it?

[sparkin]

I have nothing right now, so I'll leave it open.

[grj_app]

Here's one to keep it going: WAIN?

[BmanH]

US?

[Kendoway]

Is this a campus?

[RandallC]

Or a park?

[grj_app]

US?
No.

Is this a campus?
No.

Or a park?
Yes.

[sparkin]

UK ?

[grj_app]

Not UK.

[Kendoway]

Europe?

Not Europe.

[BmanH]

North America?

[grj_app]

Yes!

[BmanH]

Canada?

[grj_app]

Canada it is.

[Kendoway]

Mount Royal Park, Montreal?

If correct, open to the first taker. As usual, I've got nothing new (insert grumpy face here).

[grj_app]

Yes, that's it. Over to the next taker then...

[BmanH]

OK to keep things moving...

WAIN?

[DDCSD]

East Coast of the US?

[BmanH]

Yes.

[sparkin]

Cambridge, MA ........ ?

[BmanH]

Cambridge, MA ........ ?

I guess you know this one! Yes.

[sparkin]

I guess you know this one! Yes.

Yes, I was there in May, but I'll say no more.

[glhs509]

Guess I'll look it up next week...Although I doubt the water will be running :)

[Roy Mathers]

North End, Boston?

[Roy Mathers]

On the Harvard Campus?

[sparkin]

On the Harvard Campus?

Think silver sixpences Roy.

[Roy Mathers]

All sixpences were silver! But, if the name of the fountain is required, it's the Tanner Fountain.

[BmanH]

All sixpences were silver! But, if the name of the fountain is required, it's the Tanner Fountain.

I didn't even know the fountain had a name! I was actually looking for "Science Center" at Harvard University but your answer is even more specific so I hand it over to you.

[Roy Mathers]

Thanks Randy. Here's my next one....

[tomd]

I've been searching based on that unique bow spirit, but no matches yet.......

[Kendoway]

UK?

[Roy Mathers]

No.

[RandallC]

Europe?

[Roy Mathers]

Yes.

[DDCSD]

Spain?

[Roy Mathers]

No.

[sparkin]

It looks Dutch, is it ?

[Roy Mathers]

Yes.

[RandallC]

The Amsterdam, in front of the Scheepvaart Museum?
http://www.scheepvaartmuseum.nl/english

[Roy Mathers]

Correct of course Randy - well done.

[tomd]

The Amsterdam has a Poop Deck (http://www.scheepvaartmuseum.nl/english/collection/eastindiaman-amsterdam/poop-deck) ;)

[RandallC]

Nothing handy, so it's open to the first taker.

[dcm1]

Can I play???
http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r127/jenn2dcm/bwfixed.jpg

Not the best that I have taken.

[Kendoway]

Of course you can play dcm1, and welcome to WAIN!

US?

[dcm1]

Yes, it is US.
Sorry for the quality. I'm getting better though.

[RandallC]

Welcome to WAIN.

West of the Mississippi?

[dcm1]

Yes

[sparkin]

Can I play???

Yes, you can shop and eat too !

[sparkin]

Is it a long way west or just a little tiny bit west ?

[dcm1]

A little

[tomd]

dcm1, welcome to WAIN

Is this in Texas?

[sparkin]

Louisiana ?

[monty28428]

Wild dart throw - San Antonio riverwalk?

[dcm1]

dcm1, welcome to WAIN

Is this in Texas?

No.

Louisiana ?

Yes.

Wild dart throw - San Antonio riverwalk?

No.

Thanks for the warm welcome everybody.

[monty28428]

Shreveport Boardwalk ?

[monty28428]

Oh yes and Welcome to WAIN! (Be careful it can be addicting... )

[sparkin]

Oh yes and Welcome to WAIN! (Be careful it can be addicting... )

I'll second that!

I think it's called Louisiana Boardwalk in Bossier, but dcm1 will verify.

[dcm1]

Shreveport Boardwalk ?

Technically Bossier City, but the river is the line and that is right on the river.

Louisiana Boardwalk, Bossier City, LA.


I call it Shreveport boardwalk though.....

[monty28428]

LOL -- well I found an image and all it said was Shreveport Boardwalk... kind of like painted desert maybe :-)

Sean as you nailed it I'll leave it to you -- pretty much my bed time anyway.

[sparkin]

Thanks Monty, and good WAIN dcm1 !

Here's an oldie, WAIN ?

[breal101]

England? Maybe the Midlands?

[BmanH]

Can I play???

From one WAIN n00b to another, welcome aboard!

[bara03]

Lancashire/Cumbria region?

[corbie3]

Looks like Limestone Pavement.
Near Malham Cove, Yorkshire?

[NigelD]

Swaledale?

[sparkin]

Swaledale?

Swaledale is right, but I'm after what was directly behind me when I took the picture, i.e. where exactly was I ?

[tomd]

Swaledale is right, but I'm after what was directly behind me when I took the picture.

umm...your girlfriend?

[sparkin]

umm...your girlfriend?

Good one - I hope my wife doesn't find out !

I meant the name of the place we were visiting.

[tomd]

Good one - I hope my wife doesn't find out !

I meant the name of the place we were visiting.

:lol:

[Roy Mathers]

What about the Old Smithy Museum?

[corbie3]

Buttertubs Pass?

[sparkin]

What about the Old Smithy Museum?

No.

[sparkin]

Buttertubs Pass?

Buttertubs is on the way back to Richmond I think.

[corbie3]

Crackpot Hall?

[Roy Mathers]

I thought Crackpot Hall was in Birkdale.

[corbie3]

I thought Crackpot Hall was in Birkdale.

I was going by this website:
http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/324115

[sparkin]

Crackpot Hall?

No.

I thought Crackpot Hall was in Birkdale.

I think Birkdale is right at the head of Swaledale, but it's not there in any case.

[dcm1]

Punch Bowl Inn?

[sparkin]

Punch Bowl Inn?

Nope.

[glhs509]

I sense a game of darts in progress...Muker?

[corbie3]

Is the place you are visiting man-made, i.e. a building or some other structure?

[sparkin]

I sense a game of darts in progress...Muker?

I seem to recall someone having a set of magic WAIN darts, but it's not Muker.

[sparkin]

Is the place you are visiting man-made, i.e. a building or some other structure?

The place itself is all natural, but there are buildings out front, and sometimes an ice-cream van. I was stood at the edge of the car park.

[corbie3]

[dart] Gunnerside Gill?

[sparkin]

[dart] Gunnerside Gill?

Not Gunnerside Gill.

"Gill" is not part of the name (nor is ghyll !)

[Roy Mathers]

I hope that this is not going to turn into a Moenkopi!

[corbie3]

Not Gunnerside Gill.

"Gill" is not part of the name (nor is ghyll !)

Gunnerside Gill is the name of the hill, isn't it?
http://www.mywainwrights.co.uk/2009walks/100109/100109.htm

[NigelD]

Was it Tan Hill pub? - Silly me, wrong place - ignore!

[NigelD]

Is it Fremington edge and were you at the pub in Grinton?

[sparkin]

Gunnerside Gill is the name of the hill, isn't it?
http://www.mywainwrights.co.uk/2009walks/100109/100109.htm

I think a gill is stream or rocky ravine with a stream in it. Anyhow, it's some distance from Gunnerside Gill. This picture shows Gunnerside, and the hill beyond is not the hill in my picture:

http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/100906

[sparkin]

Is it Fremington edge and were you at the pub in Grinton?

It's not a pub, and it's not that close to Richmond.

[sparkin]

I hope that this is not going to turn into a Moenkopi!

:lol::lol:

Remember Roy that you thought Moenkopi would be a quick one ? Well that's pretty much what I was thinking here!

[corbie3]

Were you visiting a cave?
