I do hereby, hand behind back, fingers crossed (rather ambiguously), dutifully submit  the following to His Honorable Magistrate, Dr Swis, for rulings.

1 and 3 unequivocally discovered. I can't confirm 2 though.

  1. I think the wormhole evaporated when they redid Kerbin's textures, so that may be why you don't see it anymore in 1.11.2. Although on mine it still looks very sandy. But the shape of that patch is unique and spot on.
  2. I do recognise the background, you're in the correct vicinity. I do however not recognise those specific towers. I went and loaded up 1.11.2 and went back and forth in time to see in what epoch those existed... but I can't find them. Any chance those are a residue of Kerbal Constructs?
  3. The only place on Kerbin with that particular structure.

Bingo!!

I don't play Science/Contract.  So the only way to do this economically was to "construct a set", like Hollywood.  And, yes, Kerbal Konstructs.

The "set" was 1-2 km West of the R9 threshold, on the same campus ("green").  It's now gone, packed up.

Your verdict, PASS/FAIL, on this, respecting whatever you think others may feel about it.

(I got caught because that Inner Imp couldn't help adding that third tower!  :) It was fun playing.)

Making it too hard.

I shall read from the Book of Instructions, chapter two, verses nineteen through twenty-one:

And the Jeb spake, saying, 'First shalt thou start a new career, granting thyself the maximum starting funds. Then shalt thou upgrade one facility, no more, no less. One shall be the number thou shalt upgrade, and the number of the upgrading shall be one. Two shalt thou not upgrade, neither upgrade thou zero, excepting that thou then proceed to one. Three is right out. Once the number one, being the only upgrade, be reached, then spawnest thou thy intrepid kerbal, who, being within sight of the Holy Twins of Ginormity, shall explore it.'

Takes all of one minute maybe. Just don't let Jeb start on about the sloths and stuff.

You had me at "First shalt thou...  granting thyself the maximum starting funds"

not to mention that Holy Grenade of Antioch I see you are holding behind your back -- with the pin drawn.

(This isn't going to get me hooked on "Contracts" or something, is it?  I wouldn't like that.)

Here we go then.

"I hereby certify I did this the honorable, correct way" [except for stealing about 1.5 mil kerbux to pay for it].  :)

It took me 15 minutes just to find out how to upgrade a facility (R-click) and I knew I'd accidentally seen it before many times.  Sheesh.

Found the Nile during an SSTO test

That does look like 0/20E on the equator (near a place I call "Alexandria") and, if so, that would, most unhappily, not be the Nile.  (I will ensconce myself in the Kayak Club Map Room for a couple of enjoyable hours to make a determination.)  More in a day or two, as I am currently vacationing in Denmark.

And I call that an excellent first try.

Unfortunately however, your spoiler makes your location too obvious.

@SkyFall2489 well, I have a suggestion.

Why not try the eponymous Kayak River?

There is enough(?) information in the link to attempt to navigate there -- plus the snapshots.

Please post a photo when you get there and you will be inducted into the Kayak Club!

Thanks! I'll try it out tomorrow. Landing my dropship on those hills will be fun.

I think I made it!

Dropship didn't do well in the thin atmosphere near the mountaintop, crashed but the kerbal survived.

Just posting this one for posterity, as well.  (Not a landmark, since I'm giving the coordinates.)

0.25S 27.7E

Diamond Lake is easy to miss.  The surrounding grasslands are elevated 600m higher than it.  Discovered it on an equatorial ASR sweep for spent boosters and the like.
