eM in reverse is Me....the clueless thread starter....clueless only in that you've given all 12 clues out!

longlegsinlapaz...you have not solved the mystery yet.
There are 12 letter clues to this mystery...remember?
P as in Pooch, Pines, and ? - YES
O as in Ocean - YES
(M as in MAMA'S? - NO - NOT CORRECT - find an 'M' somewhere else. No M in the post mentioning Mama's, although
there is a redundancy in that post for another letter already found...search and ye shall find.)
P as in Peanuts - YES
A as in ANECDOTE, ANONYMOUS - YES
N as in North and Niece - YES
O as in Onions - YES
HALF OF THE MYSTERY (PLUS THE MISSING 'M') IS NOT SOLVED.
THERE ARE 12 CLUES..12 LETTERS ... POMPANO IS ONLY 7 LETTERS.

And now for my reward, Roger ....
I want that sweet thing with the cell phone in the 6th image. But with melons like those in the 13th image.
No, you say?

Igor...like the song says, "Dream a little dream on me...." I would like to introduce you to my clue manager and fishing consultant, I. Candy.
She has nothing whatsoever to do with our Sherlock mystery, but I feel you, toneart, Bob, and all the other
..er..interested...Nomads deserve a small participation reward to have come this far towards a solution.
I will let Mr. Sherlock Holmes speak on this: “If we were keen to avoid certain topics, it was probably more because it embarrassed us.”

"I say, Watson, this young lady needs a gentle hint...would you please reply for me?"
"My pleasure, indeed, Holmes. Women are more my baliwick, it would seem..harumph.
So then, “Dear Ms. longlegsinlapaz: The temptation to form premature theories upon insufficient data is the bane of our profession.”
"Watson, you mangy cur. That's one of MY quotes!"
"Quite so, Holmes, but you shouldn't mind. It was MY alphabet lessons that lead to the unraveling of this mystery.
..
and now longlegsinlapaz, you are correct in assuming there is NO ' or even an S used as a letter in this case. May I add .. It is
a capital mistake to theorize before you have all the evidence, ... It biases the judgment.”
"WATSON!.....See here now, THAT'S my quote, too!"
'Oh Tiddlywinks, Holmes..you can't hog them all."

Does it have to do with your boat, rather than you? I'm grasping at straws here and I don't want to derail this thread as it's easy to do so with
eyecandy.

All Clues have been presented...
longlegsinlapaz is closest to the solution...but she did not take it far enough...was mistaken on the Mama's thing..has nothing to do with Mama's,
rather the thing the cap is sitting on....and missed 5 letters of the code.

NOW I've got it! POMPANO GOT CAPPED IN BAJA!!!! Or he will if I ever see him under that "Got Baja?" cap in La Paz!  No S's & if you don't count the redundant letters, it's gotta come in close to
12! Consider it a Baker's Dozen!
Enough of this falderol, please excuse me while I get back to supervising my workers; THAT I'm mentally equipped to do!!
Edit: I GAVE you another "M".....MOUNTAIN! & you ignored it!

IDENTIFYING FOOTPRINTS AND TRACKING WITH SHERLOCK HOLMES AND DR. WATSON
...We'll start our mystery with these footprints outside the motorhome door.
"We know whose feet belong to these prints, right, Watson?"

"An easy one, Holmes...obviously these fellows are the culprits...Raccoons!"

AND STILL MORE TRACKS....
"Come along, Watson. We must hurry - The games afoot."
"I say, Holmes, old chap. It appears you've found the quarry. Pardon my Ogling."

"Elementary, my dear Watson, elementary..and I may Ogle myself a bit."

"INDEED HOLMES, and might I add....EXEMPLARY!! GOOD OGLING!!..WOO-WOO!"

"Don't ogle, Watson. I've found yet another unique set of tracks. We're are hot on the scent, so to speak. The time for all this Ogling is
Over."

Welcome to the Edge.
These clues were found along the edges of the Columbia Gorge area. Watson, please tell the people about the danger and importance of these edges,
they are quite unsafe...those edges can give way at any moment and there has been fatalities in the past...so tell them to please pay strict attention
to the Edge...wherever it may be."

There is a clue in every story.
A CLASS 'A' ANECDOTE:
Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson were camped in Baja somewhere near The Three Sisters. They pitched their tent under the stars and went to sleep.
Sometime in the middle of the night Holmes woke Watson up and said: “Watson, look up at the stars, and tell me what you see.”
Watson replied: “I see millions and millions of stars.”
Holmes said: “and what do you deduce from that?”
Watson replied: “Well, if there are millions of stars, and if even a few of those have planets, it’s quite likely there are some planets like
earth out there. And if there are a few planets like earth out there, there might also be life.”
And Holmes said: “Watson, you idiot, it means that somebody stole our tent.”
