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

#3

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?

#4

Does it get over 120 in the summer there

#5

No

Yes

Tough one to answer by yes or no.  I’ll tell you that, from what I’ve read so far, it seems summers can get pretty hot (although 120 F is very hot).

#6

No

#7

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

#8

Yes.

I feel this game finally exploding!

#9

Is it the hills in Kandahar Province of Afghanistan?

#10

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.

#11

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

#12

yes

Bamyan Valley in central Afghanistan.  Screenshot in a second when I move to a computer (on my iPhone right now).

So what’s special about this place?  I hope you had a blast looking for it!

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

#17

Nope, I scanned wikipedia.  As soon as I knew it was Afghanistan, I thought about significant sites.  This was the first one I hit.  Wikipedia has the coordinates right in the article.

To this day, nobody knows exactly the number of terrorists killed because on the
"Tally ban"  :smiley:
