Stop using different cacher names, it is confusing us mere mortals. Is it ADAcache or Ash-Dash?

city of gold

Post by If » 08 July 06 11:01 pm

I knew it had to be somewhere near there. I knew I had been there. The wiggly road gave it away!! Not that I've travelled it. I spent four days walking into the 'city' only to have to walk down the hill the said road traverses. As for the town, it looks a bit battered and torn since I was there and caught the train to Puno.

:D mm - found it at S12 36' 32.41 E131 17' 20.98 give or take half a brick...
First thoughts were a weapon firing range then a tank firing range. Now after closer inspection, it looks to be a huge antenna array - maybe part of the Jindalee OTH radar?
My turn...

Well done, Shifter Brains! This is as close as I'll ever get to that mine.
Stayed on the island for a while in 2000 but were not allowed on the road even!
