To get the party started, is it in SE Asia ? Anything of historical note about the aerodrome we should know ?

Flat, marshy tundra-type land; no sand on beaches. Rather industrial, rather than residential (so fishing-based industry?)

Alaska or Northern Canada?

Not many people there....

Sounds like one would be better off starting the search from Maine rather than Key West

Reg.

Maine, good place to start a search.

But Maine, northwards or southwards ? Key West definitely northwards.

Mmmm...thoughts...

North of Key West with a "U.S. looking water tower" (not necessarily the US of A) yet "few people" and probably south of Maine (but not definitively so). (Maine and points north on that side is fairly rocky, rather than tundra-like.)

On a coastline? (freshwater or saltwater not specified) but definitely a fishing community (that narrows it down a bit ).

So I think a few questions might be in order:

1. Is the "U.S. looking water tower" actually in the US?

2. Is the visible water fresh or salt?
