We'll reveal the answer and explain the clues in tomorrow's Traveler.

* No cheating! If we catch you Googling or engaged in other sneakery, we'll make you write on the whiteboard 100 times: "In gauge theory applications, most quantization methods keep Poincare invariance manifest, but the attendant sacrifice of manifest gauge symmetry compels gauge fixing."

Nope, no coffee. No breakfast either. Maybe I do need some brain power for this one.

Ok...half a cup of coffee down. I'm going to try again. The Humpty Dumpty rock climbing area in Queen Valley in Joshua Tree National Park. If this isn't right, only 395 more guesses to go!

Finish your coffee and try again, RangerLady. Only 395 guesses to go!

Let us help you narrow it down, Rangerlady. Your last guess was on the wrong side of the Mississippi River.

Ok I have one last guess and then I'm going to actually have to work today. Great Falls Park - part of the George Washgington Memorial Parkway.
Humpty Dumpty had a GREAT FALL...
