Best Retinal Stimulus of the Year - cranefly - 05-10-2006
You're all familiar with The Mystery Spot. Drunk Monk had the bumper sticker on his old car. You see that bumper sticker every once in a while. I'm embarrassed to admit I've never been to the place. It's up north, right? On 101 past Ukiah and Willits, maybe close to the Oregon border? I've been past it many times, I'm sure. I mean, I spent two and a half years living among the redwoods in Mendocino County, close to where east meets west at right angles. That was pretty strange in itself. But the Mystery Spot. That's gotta take the cake. Only it remains elusive.
Anyway, last week on Shoreline Drive in Mountain View I saw the bumper sticker again. Only it wasn't just one bumper sticker. It was a lot of them. It was an old sedan of uncertain color, because I couldn't see any of its paint. It was completely covered in The Mystery Spot stickers.
Better than a white buffulo. Or an alien anal-probe. Or Dennis Rodman on stilts. Or Madonna on her knees. Or Asian granny porn.
Impressive as hell.
It's been a good year. No matter what happens from this point until December 31 midnight, this has been a good year.

Mystery Spot! - Haggis Killer - 05-10-2006
Santa Cruz mountains! Not far at all! I lived in Santa Cruz for, what, 10 years? Never went. Had friends that worked there, though.
I KNOW THE MYSTERY!
You're thinking of "Trees of Mystery". That's up Hwy 1 near the O-regon border. The Yeti & I stopped there once, I believe.
Mystery Spot Deju Vu - Greg_phpbb3_import1 - 05-11-2006
Didn't we cover this on the Frontier Village expose.
I have been to the Santa Cruz trees of wonder spot in Scott's Valley. I had to go because it was adjacent to Dinosaur World. It only took years of begging to get my parents to acede to my wishes to visit the mighty dinosaurs. Ah, joy. I think I was dissapointed by both the trees and the dinosaurs. Youth died that day.
Hmmm... - Haggis Killer - 05-11-2006
I think you're confusing the Circus Trees and the Mystery Spot. And maybe throwing in the Trees of Mystery.
Circus trees used to be in Scott's valley:

THe Mystery Spot is off Branciforte Dr in Santa Cruz towards the mountains:

The Trees of Mystery are up north. They have a skyway now!

You're all confused... - Drunk Monk - 05-11-2006
My bumper sticker was for Confusion Hill.

LB, KB & I once had a tremendous adventure in Confusion Hill. We barely escaped with our minds intact.
I went again last year with Tara. I was in the area because I was giving this seminar on how to handle Intense Psychedelic Reaction patients to the leaders of Reggae on the River. We stopped in on the way back. While we were there, this grandmother took her granddaughter - the granddaughter suffered from extreme vertigo and had a meltdown in there. So there I am with Tara, this old lady yelling at her graddaughter not to be afraid, and the young girl on the verge of a psychotic break. Yeah, me and Tara, we have some great outtings. Anyway, Confusion Hill has new owners and is no where near as charming as it was back in the day. After we left, Tara says to me "Boy, those other people were sure confused."

So. Let's see if I got this straight. I was wrong about Drunk Monk's bumper sticker. It was for Confusion Hill, not the Mystery Spot. I was wrong about the location of the Mystery Spot. It's not north near the Oregon border, but south near Santa Cruz. And it's not on 101, but Highway 1. And what I drove past many times up north was Confusion Hill, which is IN Oregon, if I understand.
Other than that, I nailed it.
That's the Confusion Hill effect - Drunk Monk - 05-12-2006
If you ever go, be sure to take the train ride. That will take you zig-zagging up the hill to see the nature oddities, although most have been destroyed by lightning. You got to be real careful about lightning on Confusion Hill.
mt074 Once you visit Confusion Hill, you will never be the same.
Naturally - Greg_phpbb3_import1 - 05-12-2006
I give you DM as an example. Of course, was he ever the same?
at least I'm clear on Confusion Hill - Drunk Monk - 05-12-2006
Which is in CA, CF, not OR. But I think sometimes it is in OR. When the forces are aligned correctly, you can travel from Confusion Hill to Trees of Mystery to the Mystery Spot just like the pylons in Land of the Lost. They're like cross-dimensional BART stations. Turst me on this.
Lost - The Queen - 05-13-2006
And let me guess: if you drew a map of all of those spots, and placed a giant question mark in the middle, then followed your map to that question mark and opened the secret doors at the dot of the question mark, you'd go into a hatch where you'd find a whole bunch of monitoring stations showing you what was going on at the other spots and you'd have a video from the Dharma initiative or the Hanso corporation explaining that your job is to monitor everything and write it down in a notebook and then roll it up and put it in the vacuum tube and send your report off to "them."
Right?
Or do I just watch too much TV?
