Where should it be entered? Split in two and entered in both countires?

I suppose that would be the right thing to do?

It looks like we'd have to added a city(ies) before we could go further with this request...

BTW: I've already drawn this but I have no idea how it needs entering.

Well enter one tower into each of the cities. Split them up. Perhaps in the description section of each you can provide a link to the other.

Ah ha, but what cities should they be entered under? The park is in the middle of nowhere.

Exactly. That's the problem.

*EDIT*

Actually, the post office address for these this complex is:

1. Dunseith, ND 58329

2. Boissevain, MB R0K 0E0

I'll add these cities.
