This new series is a throwback to the game, “Where in the World is Carmen San Diego?” I will give a brief description of a place, including its latitude and longitude and several “interesting” facts about the location. I will also try to include a picture or two from my visit to the place. You, the reader, can then hazard a guess to answer the question posed in the game.

I will reveal the correct location on the following day. Hopefully, this type of post will encourage interaction and perhaps stimulate comments. Good Luck!

The answer to yesterday’s place (#257) is Muir Woods, near San Francisco, California, USA

A Cliff Palace, with 223 rooms, is one of the major attractions here.

This area was abandoned, mysteriously, around 1300 AD for reasons that archeologists have not been able to discover. Visitors are allowed to walk among the ruins.
