That does sound vaguely familiar. Either way though, I don't think 75 mins. would get you halfway to GUM. The whole IWO thing is weird too... is anyone allowed on that island outside of an emergency? I understand that there aren't any civilians there, it's just a Japanese army outpost. Interesting discussion regarding Magadan too...
