Where the heck is she?

Okay, this is a contest! If you can guess where Martha is I'll send you a cheque/check for $25! Or, should I say, I'll send the money to the person who comes the closest! Here's a hint: the following day she lost one of these acrylic canes (she slipped, and it went splashing into the Pacific Ocean) when she was walking down the ramp to the glass-bottom-boat tour! Anyway, we had a fun, fun, fun weekend with our friends Norm and Susan (who also happen to be our next-door-neighbors here in Twentynine Palms). Another hint: "gotta love California." Another hint: why is it that we seem to be drawn to islands??? Send your answers to weale@ca.inter.net and contest deadline is April 23, 2008. This little airport was famous. And oh, by the way, doesn't she look great? She's my favourite redhead!! -Merrill

(Hey: The contest has been won by my world-famous cousin Bob Jones who guessed Catalina Island. Well done you crafty sleuth! The acrylic cane is still missing!)
