Your on :)
:up: :) thanks....hold on for a new question ;) I did not expect to have a Q soon what with all the numbers/markabilly malarkey going on :p :
OK, staying with mountains, which is the highest mountain in the EU which is not in the Alps?
Wild Guess:
Corno Grande. Nope, Is it Pico de Teide ?
Hole in one...or two! El Teide it is, well done.
(in Tenerife, thought that would be a bit trickier than this :erm: )
I had a sneaking feeling it would be in Spain ( well sort of )Quote:

HAS to be LA that place is a beast!... beat me to it Schmenke.
chicago ?
Honolulu? Isn't it a city and part of a state?
When I was a kid, Jacksonville Fla was the largest area...the city limits started way out in the forest.
When you were a kid Florida wasn't even a state :s tareup:
:uhoh:
haha And I'm so old that when I was in school there was no such thing as History.
LA is a beast! to give proportions it is roughly the size of Bagdad.Quote:

Caroline you have the right idea in a manor of speaking!
Sarah is proud and the name of a Louis L'Amour novel, but I haven't said the name. :D
Honolulu counts the whole county, not just the city. I thought you just wanted city area. There's a bunch of obscure places out there that count the county as city area. Dunno that any of us will guess this one.Quote:

Carolines comment has a different connection
I am referring to an incorprated city in one of the fifty states that constitute The U.S.A.,
not to be confused with any other definition! A city not a county
Easy has just given you a huge hint! ;)
Perhaps You should answer the question! It appears the Natives are getting restless! :p :Quote:

Juneau Alaska, displaced jacksonville---Juneau is almost as big as Sarah Palain's head (which is why she can see Alaska or was it Russia when nobody else can)....opps sorry Tazio, I know she is near and dear, I am just glad you ain't a moderator like whoever in the IRL, when I said what everyone else (male and perhaps some females) was thinking, about wanting to see DP racing in the nude....I'd be bannedd aagggainnn
It's not Juneau! But your close!
Anchorage then?
El Paso texas
You have the correct State! :)Quote:

Like 47 of his books made into movies including 'Hondo' and 'How the West was Won'.
I mean you have told them the correct State and there are not that many cities. I am getting afraid some 'Most Dangerous Catch' fan will come up with 'Dutch Harbour'! :D :eek:
Not a big fan of Louie. But it is one I've read! ;)Quote:

Supposedly if he mentioned a specific spring, canyon or other feature it existed and was where he said it was.
One of my favourites was the modern setting "Last of the Breed".
Juneau Alaska--It is massive in size, but has a very small population...somewhere I remember why it grew....just can not remember
if not them, then it must be Ankorage, but already rejected? Then fairbanks?
Poor coraline, I promised her that the next one is for her
Sorry Caroline, but Markabilly is wrong again. You guys need to bone up on your Louie L'Amour :p :Quote:

Guess the Alaskan city...
Nome?
Taz: They sure can't get a 'handle' on this one.
If it ain't nome, then it ain't a city.
City requires a certain amount of population and even those "cities" do not really qualify
More like a town that got greedy as to its boundaries, some small number of people who decided they wanted to control a bunch of oil fields or potential oil fields, snow and glaciers or whatever
Juneau is a massive area, but had some cousins that lived there, but the population was next to nothing...more people show up at baseball games then live there
You've become such a bore. Here is another clue.Quote:

p/s the number of people is more like a village rather than a town....or sort of the size of easy's family
Valdez
still waiting :)
