So many cats got that I had put a big old hint–the sign in the corner reads Tokul.  When searching it many of them found Tokul Creek Washington–and yes I was there.  I think I am at the watershed area.   It’s near the Snoqualmie River.  In fact the Woman was thinking she was getting close to the base of the falls but that road no longer goes through. There is a lot of construction down there right now.

Cory was the fastest guesser!  ‘Kaika was only second behind! I am impressed at how many things my international friends said.  The Poupounette found that Tokul is part of Hancock Timber.  Eric and Flynn said it was in King Country (yes it is!).  Simba pointed out that it is in the Iron Horse State Park in Washington.  Lots of these things we didn’t know–but we did find that there are a couple of branches of the trail (and we don’t know which one this ends at) so we will give everyone credit.

I think this is technically the END of the trail rather than the beginning, which appears on the map to start up the hill.  The Woman didn’t walk all the way up there. She took this photo for a Find Chey that wouldn’t be impossible!  We are impressed with the numbers of cats who googled: Katz and other Tales, Parker, Sweet Praline, Sniffie and the Florida Furkids, and Pierro (although maybe he just knew?).

I do not think there are any ticks here this time of year–it’s still a bit chilly for them to come out, so I am pretty safe. Ticks are not a big deal.  We do get them but not the really bad ones and then mostly in the summer time.   I am more worried about coyotes, elk, bears, cougars and vishus deer.  We see coyotes and vishus deer near our house and this far out, our friends see bears and sometimes there are signs of cougars.  On the way to her work, the Woman sees Elk, which look an awful lot like vishus deer, so to be safe I will watch out for them too!

It seemed everyone knew this one.  Cory started out lightly saying I was in Paris before adding where I was in a later comment.   However, before that Laila and Minchie said, “We know you are on top of the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, France.”   Sei-chan, Tama-chan, Yuu-chan Bibi-chan (did I get you all?) and Tommy said, “It is indeed the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, and Chey is looking down the Champs Elysées!”   so we will take that as the answer to Laila and Minchie’s question (which means Simba also had the direction right, I THINK).

The Woman’s older photos of the Arc were all so degraded (it’s been nearly 30 years) so she couldn’t copy them.   She has a few others but thought they would be too difficult to recognize so used a flicker photo this time.   That’s why she’s not as certain where I am and what I am looking at.   So many of our friends from far away can never guess where I am so we wanted something that our French friends would get.  It seems that every body love Paris, not that I blame them.

You see according to reliable internet resources, the French are thinking they will make a statue of me to add to the top.   I think it’s a fine fine idea and no doubt one of the reasons cats so love France.

The Woman laughed at reading comments in French and she was appalled at how long she had to stop and think on a couple of them for translations.   It’s been WAY too long.  Perhaps she can talk the male into visiting there again someday… this summer she gets to go see his mother in Alaska (just a hint for those who follow FCF…).
