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

[BmanH]

I think this question is similar to what Sean asked but is it in Great Smoky Mountains National Park?

[jacuff]

Blount Co. ?

EDIT: Better question - does the county border North Carolina ?

I think this question is similar to what Sean asked but is it in Great Smoky Mountains National Park?

Not Blount County.

The county does not border North Carolina

And it is not in the Smoky Mountains.

[sparkin]

The county does not border North Carolina

Does the county border a county that borders NC ? :D:D

[BmanH]

Does the county border a county that borders NC ? :D:D

lol. Does the county border any other State?

[tomd]

Is this waterfall in a National Park or National forest?

[jacuff]

Does the county border a county that borders NC ? :D:D

No.. it doesn't even border a county that borders a county that borders NC. ;)

[jacuff]

lol. Does the county border any other State?
Yes, the county has part of the TN border.

Is this waterfall in a National Park or National forest?
Yes, it is an area found on the nps.gov website.

[tomd]

Big South Fork area?

[sparkin]

No.. it doesn't even border a county that borders a county that borders NC. ;)

Oooh - that was my next question.

[sparkin]

Yes, the county has part of the TN border.

Northern border or southern - northern right ?

[BmanH]

Does the county border Kentucky then?

[jacuff]

Big South Fork area?
Yes. It is the Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area

Oooh - that was my next question.
Hehe.. So I guess it's a county that borders a county that borders a county that borders a county that borders NC.

[BmanH]

Nm. Sean pretty much asked the same question.

[jacuff]

Northern border or southern - northern right ?

Does the county border Kentucky then?

Nm. Sean pretty much asked the same question.

The county borders KY.

[BmanH]

Yahoo Falls?

[tomd]

Coon Den Falls?

[jacuff]

Yahoo Falls?
No. Yahoo Falls is actually in KY.

Coon Den Falls?
Nope. That's a future WAIN. ;)

[BmanH]

No. Yahoo Falls is actually in KY.

Doh!

[BmanH]

Moonshine Falls?

[jacuff]

Moonshine Falls?

No, but you are on the right trail.

[BmanH]

Hmmm... there a few falls on this trail. Secluded Falls?

[jacuff]

Hmmm... there a few falls on this trail. Secluded Falls?

Not Secluded Falls

[BmanH]

Hideout Falls?

[jacuff]

Hideout Falls?

That's it. Over to you!

[BmanH]

Thanks. Why not keep with the waterfall theme? This one won't be as tough are Justin's but... WAIN?

[DDCSD]

US?

[BmanH]

US?

Yes

[DDCSD]

East Coast state?

[vk2gwk]

I join Roy..... :)

[BmanH]

East Coast state?

Yes

[BmanH]

I'm off to bed. To be continued...

[Roy Mathers]

I join Roy..... :)
:D:D

[sparkin]

North East state ?

[BmanH]

North East state ?

Yes

[vk2gwk]

It is not Niagara... :)

[BmanH]

It is not Niagara... :)

If it were the Niagara then we are in trouble.

[tomd]

Vermont?

[BmanH]

Vermont?

Not Vermont. Henk was on the right track in terms of State even if he was just kidding.

[sparkin]

Not Vermont. Henk was on the right track in terms of State even if he was just kidding.

So it's in NY then ?

[BmanH]

So it's in NY then ?

Yes, it is in NY.

[cp1005]

Adirondacks?

[BmanH]

Adirondacks?

Not in the Adirondacks.

[BmanH]

I join Roy..... :)

But this one isn't in Tennessee!:sad: There's only 200+ waterfalls in NY.

[vk2gwk]

But this one isn't in Tennessee!:sad: There's only 200+ waterfalls in NY.

OK, I'll give it a try as you insist :) - Ithaca Falls?
Edit - to be more exact: Ludlowville Fall : http://www.flickr.com/photos/kleroux06/4033440195/

[BmanH]

OK, I'll give it a try as you insist :) - Ithaca Falls?

Not that falls. Since NY is such a big State I will say it is south of Ithaca.

[Roy Mathers]

I just knew that you wouldn't be able to stay away Henk!;)

[vk2gwk]

Not that falls. Since NY is such a big State I will say it is south of Ithaca.

Did you notice the edit?

[BmanH]

Did you notice the edit?

Yup, I just saw it. That waterfall looks like it's north of Ithaca...

[vk2gwk]

Is it in the same county as Ithaca?

[BmanH]

Is it in the same county as Ithaca?

Not in the same county.

[vk2gwk]

east or west from "south of Ithaca"?

[vk2gwk]

I just knew that you wouldn't be able to stay away Henk!;)

There don't seem to be any other takers, Roy and we can't let Berman down, can we? :)

[BmanH]

east or west from "south of Ithaca"?

Southeast of Ithaca.

[BmanH]

There don't seem to be any other takers, Roy and we can't let Berman down, can we? :)

I guess people are sick of chasing waterfalls? All thanks to Justin!:smile:

[vk2gwk]

Bastion Falls?

[BmanH]

Bastion Falls?

Nope

[vk2gwk]

Is it in the Catskills somwhere, like Kaaterskill Falls?

[BmanH]

Is it in the Catskills somwhere, like Kaaterskill Falls?

The county it's in is part of the Catskills but the mountain that the waterfall is in is known by a different mountain name. So essentially, the mountain the waterfall is in is also considered part of the Catskills. I hope this makes sense.

[BmanH]

It's relatively near Kaaterskill Falls (less than 100 miles).

[sparkin]

It's relatively near Kaaterskill Falls (less than 100 miles).

This is one of the things that I love about the states. If you go 100 miles in the wrong direction in England, you drown!

[vk2gwk]

This is one of the things that I love about the states. If you go 100 miles in the wrong direction in England, you drown!
Depends on where you are - that can happen even in Australia.... :)

BTW: Berman: Verkeerder Kill Falls?

[BmanH]

Depends on where you are - that can happen even in Australia.... :)

BTW: Berman: Verkeerder Kill Falls?

I knew you wouldn't disappoint, Henk! All yours.

There's no way that could happen in Oz. It's 50x larger than the state of NY!

[sparkin]

I knew you wouldn't disappoint, Henk! All yours.

There's no way that could happen in Oz. It's 50x larger than the state of NY!

Even careful choice of the wrong direction can take you all sorts of places you don't wanna be!

[vk2gwk]

Thanks Berman... I'll start looking for a water fall for the next WAIN... :evil:

[vk2gwk]

Roy, I don't want to be mean or anything but ..... :)

Here is the next WAIN...??? (apologies for the poor quality... old P&S (one of my first...)

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2682/4409569077_6384fe48a1_o.jpg

[sparkin]

I thought there was a moratorium on waterfalls. Ah, who cares ...

Oz ?

[vk2gwk]

I thought there was a moratorium on waterfalls. Ah, who cares ...

Oz ?

I wish there was... :) and..yes in Oz. This is an arid country (around 70% of the total) so there are not that many water falls to choose from.

[BmanH]

NSW?

[vk2gwk]

NSW?

No, Not in NSW.

[Roy Mathers]

Roy, I don't want to be mean or anything but ..... :)



I'll see you when this is finished then!;)

[jacuff]

Florence Falls in Litchfield National Park?

[Roy Mathers]

Florence Falls, Lichfield Park?

[vk2gwk]

Florence Falls in Litchfield National Park?


And sorry Roy, just a couple of minutes too late...(but I guess you have been there...)
Our falls expert got it right! Well done Justin. Over to you (but not another fall again.... please....)

[jacuff]

Our falls expert got it right! Well done Justin. Over to you (but not another fall again.... please....)

Thanks! Well then... Open to the first taker!

[Roy Mathers]

To block another waterfall photo (:D), try this one

[Heath]

UK?

[sparkin]

If not UK, then elsewhere in Europe ?

[Roy Mathers]

UK?

Yes.

[sparkin]

London ?

[Heath]

South of Birmingham

[Roy Mathers]

London ?

Yes.

[Heath]

Is it an office building?

[Roy Mathers]

No.

[DDCSD]

Is there at least a waterfall inside of this structure?

[Roy Mathers]

No - I made sure there wasn't!:)

[DDCSD]

:lol:

[sparkin]

Is there at least a waterfall inside of this structure?

Excellent! :lol:

Maybe there's a sink and someone left the tap running - would that count ?

Seriously Roy, is it part of a museum or other exhibition space.

[Roy Mathers]

Yes.

[Heath]

The second phase of the Darwin Centre completes the western portion of the Natural History Museum estate,

[Roy Mathers]

You sound as if you cut and pasted that from a web site!:D

You are, of course, correct.

[Heath]

Copy and Paste? Who me??

This one should go fast, but I found it such an interesting place.

WAIN

[Roy Mathers]

Is this the car Stonehenge near Alliance, Nebraska?

[BmanH]

Did the cars fall from atop a waterfall that has now dried up?

[Heath]

Yes it is Roy.

I just happened to be driving by back in 2001, and I had to stop and take a picture.

All my travel photos are prints. I really need to scan some. Or go on another trip.

[Heath]

Did the cars fall from atop a waterfall that has now dried up?

I photoshopped out the waterfall.

[Roy Mathers]

I photoshopped out the waterfall.

I'm so pleased!

[Roy Mathers]

Here's another, and it shouldn't be too difficult to find...

[aebrown]

An island? Those waters look nice and blue...

[Heath]

If you turn your head, it looks like the water is falling.

[Roy Mathers]

An island? Those waters look nice and blue...

No

If you turn your head, it looks like the water is falling.

Please don't turn your head!

[Heath]

uk? Or is that considered an island in your previous answer.

[Roy Mathers]

Not the UK.

[Roy Mathers]

I am out for the next couple of hours, so I won't be able to answer any questions until I get back.

[Narwhal]

Yes.

No.

I'm off to bed now, so I won't be answering until I'm wide awake again!

[BmanH]

You said it's not in Dubai but how about UAE?

[Sir Plug]

Is it a country that borders any of those already mentioned?!?

[vk2gwk]

One of the sea life sculptures on the Mutrah Corniche in Musqat, Oman?

[BmanH]

Looking good, Henk!

[vk2gwk]

Looking good, Henk!
You are up late/early Berman.... :) And Roy is sleeping in... :)

[Roy Mathers]

You are correct Henk.

I certainly do not get up at 7am on a Sunday!

[vk2gwk]

Good morning Roy - and others.... Enjoy the Sunday which is almost gone over here....

Here is the new WAIN (an old scan but it is still there...)...

[Roy Mathers]

Good morning Henk.

[vk2gwk]

I am off to bed and will answer in about 8 hours....

[Roy Mathers]

You've done it again! Posted one and then gone to bed - unfair!

[Roy Mathers]

I've been to so many places like this in Arizona, but I can't place this one. It reminds me of Oatman, although I know it isn't.

[sparkin]

If not Arizona, then how about Nevada ?

[Narwhal]

I spent a fair amount of time all over the desert many years ago and as Roy says there are many places that have the same look and feel. I have no idea exactly where it is but here is my analysis.

1. The general vegatation indicate moderate elevation with some seasonal rain....

2. Only a few scattered smaller saguro cactus..

3. Hard rock fromations.

4. The upper flag is US and the lower is Arizona

It is dfinitely Arizona because of the flag and because of the cactus. The saguro cactus is only found in Arizona and northern Mexico. (OK, Maybe a VERY, VERY few in Nevada and California)

The relative sparcity of smaller saguro cactus indicates that it is at he edge of the cactus range.

The Harder rocks and moderarate chapparral eliminates many areas.


My GUESS is that Roy's hunch is not far off

OR ???

BTW I am a Newbie and I hope this kind of open comment is permitted

[DDCSD]

Good gravy! Now that's some serious detective work! Welcome to WAIN!

[BmanH]

You are up late/early Berman.... :) And Roy is sleeping in... :)

I have a very weird work schedule which leaves me up at odd hours!

Good morning... Roy's hunch and Narwhal's analysis are good: yes the state is Arizona.

Yes, sorry, Jim - forgot to welcome you - but it is early Monday morning here... :)

You got it, Ken! As you can see in the photo (judging the car models) it was a while ago since I was there last. The place is called "Superstition Saloon" and is the general store in Tortilla Flat - AZ.
