The Big Aha!!!!…
Yesterday I drove the motorhome 56.9 miles from Palm Desert, California to my mysterious destination… an oasis in the desert, that I’ve hinted about in recent postings. For a short time longer, I’m going to remain unrevealing as to exactly where the motorhome is parked.
I’m doing so because I’ve had a lot of fun giving the mysterious location clues and I want to continue having more fun for a little while longer. Actually I have a couple of followers who are going slightly crazy themselves, being unable to identify the location from the provided clues. So more clues will follow until I either run out of clues or they figure out the location. 🙂
So far, the clues have revealed these facts about this mysterious destination…
- 1) It gets really hot here in the summertime.
- 2) It’s in California
- 3) It’s a place of beautiful sunrises and sunsets
- 4) It’s an oasis… an island in the desert…
- 5) It’s in Riverside County
- 6) the elevation is 722 feet according to Google earth
- 7) the population was 204 in 2010 according to Wikipedia
- 8) It’s 62.9 miles to the nearest Costco
And here’s another clue #9… It’s 52.3 miles to the nearest Walmart.
And here’s a bonus clue #10… Remember I’m an Ex-Engineer, which means read the clues carefully! 🙂
Now, all that remains to be disclosed is the mysterious destination location and the WHY I came here.
I’m wondering if any of you have figured out that the WHY, is a WOMAN!
So, that is the BIG AHA!
It’s truly hard even for me to believe, that for the first time in 36 years, I’m going to be living full-time with a WOMAN!
The other really big news is because I’m starting a new life with this woman, that after 3,713 postings in 3,686 days, this will be the LAST BLOG using the otrwjam wordpress address.
That means as of tomorrow morning if you desire to continue following our new life adventures, you will need to go to your URL address box after 7 AM (PDT) and enter the new blog site address of… or come back and click this link…
By going to that address, the first blog will explain all! I hope you will be joining us as she is a most unique gal and there will be LOTS of adventures and laughter!
In the meantime, here’s my usual parking location photos, which also provide clue #11… there is a lake here. The lake has also been visible in several of the photos shown so far.
