Table Mountain in Cape Town, South Africa...
Awww, I think I need to give you a tour so you can get a better impression of this area. So far I've had no run-ins with the cops, and while there are quite a few (not all) one-way streets downtown, they alternate direction. If you want to turn left, but can only turn right, just go to the next block and make that left turn. It's funny, I'm now actually a lot more comfortable driving in downtown Denver than I am downtown Minneapolis, and I lived in MSP for years!
BTW, I was serious about the tour
What about Mount Fuji? Japan. How about Niagra Falls to distinguish Canada and New York USA? How about Phoenix AZ Camel back mountain? Santa Fe, NM... Sangre de Cristo Mountains. These are features you may look at and have a good estimate of where you might be. Say you dropped off from the sky or something in the middle of the night in a parachute, and suddenly you see these distinguishable features. In Managua, you may see MOMOTOMBO volcano, along with others, and you may see, or like San Salvador, Volcano de San Salvador. But some features obviously stick out more than others, like a slam dunk feature, like once you see it, you know its in this or that country. Example.....Niagra Falls.....slam dunk!!!

Ok, looks like I have to post to respond to a few things now :P
Palms: Yup. Well, separately. https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot..._6559791_n.jpg
ColoAvs: On the other hand, I don't see nearly as many speed traps here as I do in the midwest. Then again, my experience is mostly a few runs on I-76 to the Nebraska border and a round trip to Glenwood Springs. And that's awesome that you were able to navigate from the planes like that. Personally, I'd use the sun as a backup :-P
Mig: Just say when and food preferences. I know an awesome (and cheap!) Mexican place around here that seems to be pretty well-received when I take guests there. Or beer made from bull testicles. Or both. And I have no idea if holding your breath through the tunnels is common. I suppose I vaguely remember something for tunnels in general in Minnesota, but I'm not yet used to all the quirks out here. That said, it's only a few hours where traffic is really bad from what I hear. Go a few hours earlier or later, and you're generally ok. I'll actually be skiing for the first time on Saturday, though I have been to Breckenridge several Saturdays ago for a snow sculpture competition.
