and I thought you did a mighty fine job! (better than I and my wife did running five boards by ourselves (#131)). Still haven't had a chance to investigate the new set of clues, but I had had a gut feeling of somewhere in the carribean.
How did everybody else do on Berlin???

Dominica seems to be a strong choice, athough I read the following and am now contemplating other choices.
quote:
Dominica touts itself as a 'non-tourist destination' for divers, hikers and naturalists - partly because it lacks those white-sand beaches so favored by holidaymakers to the Caribbean
The Appleton Posse was dispersed Last night as some of us decided to watch UW-GB lay an egg at home against the Flamin UIC....
Good luck to all.

Dominica does sound good, however I'm thinking more along the lines of it being about the entire British West Indies. I can't find a reference to stone windmills anywhere on Dominica, however there is another island in this chain known as the "island of a thousand windmills". Any thoughts on this?

Agree. That's why I listed British West Indies in my original post.

Ok ... maybe I'm being stupid (certainly would not be the first time) ... but Dominica is not technically part of the British West Indies (Anguilla, the British Virgin Islands, the Cayman Islands, Montserrat, and the Turks and Caicos ). I think Dominica is definately part of the destination ... but what else? Basically, anywhere that had Sugar plantations seems to have had windmills. Barbados had hundreds and many other islands had sugar production and therefore windmills. Dominica seems to be devoid of windmills though.
I'm thinking the Lesser Antilles or the Leeward Isles rather than the Br. West Indies. Thoughts?

Revising my guess to the Windward Islands. Every thing jives.Boiling Lake, Dominica. Old windmills, Grenada and Carriacou.Nearly all are volcanic islands with pristine beaches.

The ENTIRE Carribbean and obscure clues? Give us a break, LOL. Besides which we knew the "Where on the Map" question, and none of our answers took.

We also knew the where on the map answer and none of our answers took either!
Those top scores last night are a mystery to me - only people I can think of who would score 35,000+ are a) folks from that part of the world and b) people who have too much time on their hands!
I'm not bitter!

The same thing happend to our group, we all had three, then looked down and it hadn't taken it. So we were in a frenzy of hitting three over and over and it never took. There were a few choice words about that.

looks like nobody got the map question to take (ours didn't either).
I have to agree ... it was a very obscure set of questions and a very large area ...
