Monday Morning You Look So Fine

So, over Thanksgiving we went down to Palm Springs. I don't think I blogged anything about that at all. Maybe a picture. No, just a vague allusion. Anyway, it was a grand adventure, with many details I will not share. A small part of that was finding the Angel Canyon Circle, and another circle nearby, and an abandoned compound which our guide described as having belonged to an old German who'd worked for the CIA, I dunno, anyway, click on the picture for the Facebook album.

A friend of mine wrote the other day, wanting help finding the circle. There are no directions on the web. You just have to know. I figured between my pictures and memory and Google Maps I could find it, and so I did, and here it is.

What started this particular rigmarole was crawling around the satellite photos looking for other things, such as the mysterious blue pumping station-looking artwork (see album; cannot find). As we were driving back our guide pointed out an abandoned RV, in a clearing a few hundred feet off the road. It looked like Heisenberg's first lab. Said it had been there several years, still full of stuff, abandoned, no one knows by whom or why. I decided to find it, and I did.

And that's my report for Monday.

Addendum the First. Been awhile since I updated where on the map the Where I Is At image links to. Just did that. You only need to click out once to see my house (more or less, depends on a few variables).

I've only been to PS once and it was boring as fuck. This sounds pretty cool. :)
