Random Noise #21 : World's Most Dry and Remote Area

How do you go about finding the world's driest, most remote area?

You could use a satellite, but that's exceedingly expensive.

You could send out questionaires, but that is unreliable.

Working on the reasonable assumption that you can't beat first-hand knowledge, I have worked out the following experimental method:

Start off into a remote region with just a bicycle and trailer with plenty of filled water carriers.

You will know you are in a remote area when someone points to the trailer and asks:
"What's that?"

You will know you are in a very remote area when someone points to the bicycle and asks:
"What's that?"

You will know you are in the world's driest, most remote area when someone points to the water and asks:
"What's that?"

That's all folks. :-)
