Oh, I don't know Larry. See my last post...it's interesting but not that big
a deal. I had fun looking up what countries my "number" ran thru, but I am
somewhat of a geography buff anyway, so......

Actually if you came up with 83 degrees (not minutes) for the first, you
would use N83 or S83 (not real practical....too close to the poles!) or W83
or E83. I think....?

Mine came up 54....for the first. even that is a bit far N or S....!

Are there any caches in Tierra del Fuego? Do we need to make a trip to place
one??? ha ha ha
