Robert said to me:

couple hops away.

I am in Chicago now and using Visual Route's trial edition it tells me
10.10.167.40 can be found in Australia. Here is the trace:

 10.10.167.40  (unnamed)  (Private) Australia according to Visual Route's
location service
        I have not been able to confirm this. I do appreciate your help and
hope that this stimulates some more ideas as I am perplexed.

RFCs are not the law. You can break them. I use so-called
routable/non-private (although not allocated) addresses for my internal
network. ISPs route non-routable/private addresses. Specifically, they use
such addresses as part of their management network: they assign private
addresses in the 10.x.x.x space to routers, modems, etc. 

>From what I understand, cable-modem providers give a 10.x.x.x address to
their cable-modems for management purposes. I believe the last time I had a
cable modem, I saw these 10.x.x.x addresses exposed on my Ethernet.

I run traceroute through my tethered cellphone, and find that the phone
company assigns 192.168.x.x addresses to routers. nmap scans confirm other
machines in that so-called "private" "non-routable" range.
