geography puzzle with no right answer
I watched a conversation in a live chat window.
person 1: "don't tell them where the national data base is."
person 2: "like it is hard to find. It's between the very big hills."
So, this is a national data base that is a list of persons offering a particular service to other people.
Without looking at a map of the USA, I'm asking the question and suggesting possible answers.
I do not know the correct answer without more research. The type service these people provide my allow someone to locate the "assumed" city (I assume it a city).
Continental USA and the East Coast is eliminated. Again without looking at a map of USA, are Denver or Las Vegas between large hills? (I assume they meant mountains)
Any other possible locations?
I'll reveal the type of service, later, if that is what it takes to get the answer.
I would expect it to be a well known city, so anyone who knows geography may be able to guess accurately.
(mods: using Math and Science since geography used to be part of science.....I think)

Hawaii - it houses Obama's birth certificate amongst other things.
Is it the NAtional Geoscience Database of Iran? That's in Tehran which is surrounded by mountains.

At some point, I know someone with the answer. But, I am not close enough to them, to ask, right now.
It is in the city named 'the world', so called because the inhabitants have no knowledge of any other city as their view is obscured by two massive mountains. They have one database stored at city hall which contains just two records.

0 | Big Mountain
1 | Bigger Mountain
They're actually big hills and there are several places called "Big Hill" in USA.

the people who gave the lone hint....implied it was a city located between two large hills (mountains) and being a national data base, i would think it would be a city you've heard of.
A bunch of game playing women who won't reveal the answer.
So far no one is telling me, so I may have to ask other places and get back to EE with the answer.

a prominent person who knows the answer is not telling me.
Because they have their own data base of S's and, of course, do not want to advertise for their competitors.
