Boing Boing's secret lair in the Alps

David Pescovitz 7:51 pm Sat Jun 11, 2011

Our intrepid moderator Antinous has settled on the location of the next Boing Boing secret lair. It will be in the Austrian Alps. Two 6,500 feet peaks in eastern Tyrol — Grosse Kinigat (above) and Rosskopf — are currently for sale with an asking price of approximately $170,000 each.
