I have become concerned about this game. We’ve worked our way fairly far south in Argentina, but I’m not able to find a “K” town within anything like 600 miles of Junín de los Andes. The letter K is uncommon in Spanish and Portuguese – there are just a few “K” towns in Venezuela, Guyana, and I think Columbia, but that’s thousands of miles away. We may run into similar trouble with “W” on this continent. @ekedolphin, any chance of a special dispensation? ---

I’d say find the nearest one. Assume that there are two eligible drivers in the car, and one can sleep while the other drives. 😉 ---
