Are you somewhere in the Valdez-Cordova census area, as described here?
Sounds like a majorly fun and adventurous experience, Kent.
It's CMK who actually guessed McCarthy, though.
Posted by lancesrealm on :
OK, Chaim, are you in the Americas?
Posted by Chaim Mattis Keller on :
That tram looks way cool (no pun intended). Where's the other (non-McCarthy) end connected to? But that lodge needs more moose antlers. There's way too much of the wooden walls visible.
I am not in the Americas.
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
the other side is McCarthy Road, which connects to state route 10 at Chitina (60 miles down the road) (route 10 goes east from Chitina, connecting with 4, and was supposed to continue south to Cordova, but was never finished).

Are you having computer troubles? That's twice you posted your question twice.
Posted by Invisible Brainiac on :
Yeah, sometimes when I refresh my question isn't there. I'll go back and delete the double post.

Are you north of Hornitos?
Posted by Chaim Mattis Keller on :
I am not north of Hornitos, but to be frank, the difference in latitude is very little. I feel it's only fair to say that. On a map, they probably look about even.

I've magnified Google Maps almost as far as I can go, but I can't find any other town in the Antofagasta Province of Chile that is eats of Sierra Gorda, and about the same latitude as Hornitos.
Are you in Los Barriales de Oyape?
Posted by Chaim Mattis Keller on :
I just went to Google Maps to double-check, and it's definitely marked. Doesn't need to be magnified all that much.
You might be mistaking a certain dotted line for a provincial border, assuming that we're genuinely looking at the same maps.
I'm not in Los Barriales de Oyape.
Posted by Chaim Mattis Keller on :
OK, time to get this moving again.
Hint: from the NAME of the place, you'd assume it's in a different Chilean region, but it actually is in Antofagasta.
