    Hello from the Explorer Team. We are located in Perkasie,
    Pennsylvania at Pennridge South Middle School. My second period
    science class has be investigating mystery site #3 and #4. Dr.
    Darlene S. Jones
     Mystery #3
    We Believe that mystery site #3 is San Juan, Puerto Rico, U.S.A.
    The longitude is 18.5 degrees north. The latitude is 66.1
    degrees west. We found this out by looking up the world's
    largest dish and it is a satellite dish in Arecibo, Puerto Rico,
    so we knew the location was in Purto Rico. Then it said they
    were in their capital and the capital of Puerto Rico is San
    Juan. So we knew mystery location #3 was San Juan, Puerto Rico.
     Mystery #4
    We think that mystery site #4 is in Lima, Peru. The latitude is
    12.0 degrees South and the Longitude is 77.1 degrees West. How
    we figured this out was we looked at our clues and figured out
    it was Peru. Then, we knew to definately make it Peru we found
    that the river that carried the greatest volume of water is the
    Amazon river. To fond the city we looked at our last clue that
    was a fire right before New Years of 2002 and we looked that up
    and found that it was the capital, Lima. The longitude fit with
    the city of Lima so we now know it
