That looks like a Date Palm to me, so I'm going to think Indio.
However.... What really throws me off is the oil well!
I'm thinking somewhere around Seal Beach or maybe a little south of that, Bolsa maybe.

Close enough Marv...Bolsa Chica Wetlands, just South of PCH & Warner. That's Saddleback mountain in the background.
Here's the view West from the same spot.

Oil well? What oil well? You must have better peepers than I do, cuz I don't see it.

Look just past the second fence post to the right of the palm. Actually, there are a couple more barely visible, too.

Oh yea, Salvation Mountain, near Calpatria. Or Slab City for those in the know.
It's looking real sharp in that pic.

Must be time to get my peepers looked at, cuz I had to use a magnifying glass on an 18" laptop screen to see them.

We have a winner.
Salvation Mountain, Slab City, CA!
I WAS an easy one, eh Bill?
I attached it so it isn't re-sized. Take another look above.

Pop, to make it challenging, you could have posted just a pic of the bus he lives in.

I've shown these before, but perhaps your memories are short.
