Looks like the chocolate ice-cream sitting in my freezer. Freezer burn rules.  :stuck_out_tongue:

You know it’s been a busy week when I haven’t even been able to check out the “Where is this?” entry.

Can I walk there from Prince Rupert?

Is it winter there now?

Does it get over 120 in the summer there

No

Is this country experiencing upheaval right now? i.e. war, insurrection, coup, tribal warfare, revolution…that would be right up my alley

Yes.

I feel this game finally exploding!

That’s a geographical question so I can’t answer it.
If you are sure that it is this place, than say it.  I’ll tell you if you are right or wrong.

Does this area have anything to do with Al-Queda and the “War” on terrorism?

yes

Yes!  Good job.  Must have been fun to scan all over Afghanistan!
