I have a small disconnect with the Twelve Mile Circle audience. I’m not much of a puzzle fan, and yet, my articles with challenges embedded within them often create the greatest amount of reader interest, page views and comments. But I’m also not beyond giving people what they want even though I profess to write 12MC primarily for myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So I created a contest in the spirit of that sentiment. I’m not sure if it’s fiendishly clever, horribly difficult, overly simple or totally stupid. Enjoy this, or don’t enjoy this, or come back later in the week when I focus on an actual geo-oddity. Any of those is fine with me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s map-based and the title of the article offers a clue. Provide the names of people suggested by these distinct place names: Blackbutt Reserve; the country of Ghana; Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park and the block of S. San Pedro Street located between W. San Fernando and Post Streets., in San Jose, California. Another clue: each of them relates to a person with a surname that’s also a specific cardinal direction, West. You’ll need to figure out the names of those four individuals named West.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Don’t scroll any further if you want to try to figure it out on your own. I’ll begin to offer additional clues and walk you through the solutions as we proceed. All but maybe two or three of you probably don’t care anymore so feel free to blow directly past this line and keep reading if you like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"HOW](\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/6005\/5901727441_94c6acb33c_b.jpg\")
