There are about a half dozen cities with elevations above 3000m (mainly in Peru and Bolivia), so while odd, not unreasonable.
As for the trip taking 25 minutes, I believe they were specifically taking a detour through the city. And Carl's driver was 10 minutes away. So if the airport and both houses were on the same side of the city, that would be why the trip to the new house would have taken longer.
Only airport around 3000m in US is in Colorado. Central California coast geography makes the most sense. Pismo Beach to Santa Barbara. Airports are closer there (around 300M) That take that kind of aircraft and would match traffic and distance. This would mean that Carl is flying higher than a kite and they could probably smell it or sense it. This also explains Carl's state of mind in regards to the car choices. Could reveal more about Carl in general.No he didn't mean 300m because Carl specifically says "Oh, and don't panic if you feel like you are getting a little air outside. The airport is 3000 meters above sea level."
So clearly the author intended this to be higher altitude. You wouldn't really notice a difference at 300m that would cause one to panic.
Ah, in the route not taken you see the specific ten minutes.
Hold off on booking your trips though people. Even though Patricia's cars match some reported in the area. We have not found a match on any buildings or businesses there yet.
