Contest X - Where Am I?

[shetuck]

So Script is at The Hermitage Plantation?

i doubt it. i think he was on st kitts island b/c the brimstone fortress is there. the hermitage plantation is on nevis island.

 

[ScriptOhio]

I just want to point out that while Script is out spanning the globe I've been right fuckin' here in SE Ohio working during every one of his wonderful contests. Show off.

You think it is easy "spanning the globe"? Keep in mind that I have to deal with all kinds of hardships/problems that you probably never considered (to name a few):

1. SkyBus price increase from $5 to $12 to check a piece of luggage. My airline ticket was $10, now they charge more to send my luggage than to send me. I should have just purchased an extra seat for my suitcase; I could have saved $2.

2. Deciding what SPF factor of sun screen to put on.

3. Constantly saying "no" to people that wander the beaches trying to sell you jewelry, give you aloe rubs, and/or braid your hair, etc.

and many more too numerous to mention.

I don't know where you are, but you keep this shit up, and you're gonna be face up in the Atlantic.

:p

3. Constantly saying "no" to people that wander the beaches trying to ... give you aloe rubs

Sounds like a sticky situation.

:p

Do you even call them 'vacations' any more?

 

[ScriptOhio]

:p

Buckyle sleeps with the fishes.

Good idea, for tax purposes I should start caling them "business trips".

 

[BUCKYLE]

Buckyle sleeps with the fishes.

Tell me you wouldn't.

:p

 

[NFBuck]

Hell's Kitchen. What do I win?

No, unless (of couse) you could choose the fish that you would be sleeping with.

I "suck" at trivia, to which three other members of BP can now personally attest. All I have so far is either Kitty Hawk (combo of pic three and one), or some type of Indian Key (combo of pic one and two). I'm probably helping someone else win, but I'm guessing it's an island in an island chain. But again, I "suck" at this shit, so it's probably best if we just proceed with the jeers and the mocking.

Indian Key Historic State Park in Florida. No? Damn....

You didn't do that bad. It was an island and Indian Key matched a couple clues. Greenies have been sent.

The first of those images is truncated. The description has been snipped from the bottom.

By John Gabriel Stedman the picture is that of a Carib Indian Family (Familia Indiana Caraiba).

You got what I thought would be the toughest clue. Good work. Greenies are on the way.

St. Kitts?

Correct, my guess is that sandgk's post above helped. Anyway you win and get all the goodies (25,000 vDollars, medal, and greenies), congratulations.:)

The Brimstone Hills ruins of St Kitts.
(The clue breakdown)

1.

This clue is the Caribbean

2.

This clue is to a key (or the keys) of the Caribbean islands

3.

This to St. Kitts

4.

This is to the Brimstone Hills Fortress Ruins

Sorry, you missed #3. As you later pointed out St. Christopher was the clue. You did some good research in identifying #4. Greenies have been sent.

brimstone hill fortress, st kitts.

pic 1: "famiglia indiana caribana" by john gabriel stedman. carib indians/natives from surinam guiana.

pic 2: st christopher / st cristobal keychain from creaturemundi.com

pic 3: kitt

pic 4: brimstone hill fortress on the island of st kitts in st kitts and nevis

EDIT: greenies to brutustrength who beat me by a minute...
EDIT 2: the island of st kitts is also called st cristobal / st christopher (hence the keychain clue)

You got all four first. brutustrength missed #3, St. Christopher was the "key chain" clue. Greenies are on the way.

Good piece of information: I wasn't aware that the island was also called St. Cristobal.

Sounds like a sticky situation.

:p

Do you even call them 'vacations' any more?

Actually two good comments. 1) i.e. "sticky situation", especially if you saw a couple of the "guys" that were offering aloe rubs. and 2) No, I really don't call them vacations any more. Greenies are on the way.

Hell's Kitchen. What do I win?

Nothing.


Thanks to everyone for playing. And a big

to Deety for assisting with the winner's prizes.

The "Contest XI - Where Am I? " coming soon to a bulletin board near you.

Yep, it did help. I was on the right track before it looking for places with Kitt as part of the name, but I forgot the obvious one until the Carib comment. :)
