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 (#222) is Monument Valley, on the Arizona-Utah border, USA

It has been called the “Marvel of the West.” Napoleon once used this place as a prison. A causeway connects this place to the mainland, but once it could only be accessed at low tide.

Its unique position presents an unforgettable silhouette.
