I know this because i just pinpointed it w the next American traveler to arrive there. I do know it is located three-thousand two-hundred seventy four kilometers (those tiny things they use for measuring distances) from the nearest Starbucks. That is not a bad thing.

East to get to. Leave Post Mills, VT driving south-ish (w a little east thrown in). Fly to Buenos Aires, AR. Leaving Ministro Pistarini airport, turn right on Rte 250 south, drive for 12 minutes. Turn left on Rte 3, drive for 5 hours & 48 minutes till you see the runway. You're there. If you come across a very large body of water w very large pieces of ice on the far (that would be, south) end. You missed it. C

It's not Pico da Bandeira, I know that! But it may be in the same country?

Hint: It's a place where the only angles allowed are 45 and 90 degrees.

Isn't this where Hanna Reitsch got lost in a glider in the mid-30's? She ended up in the Pampas region with a bunch of Gouchos who didn't speak German and had to overnight with them.
