Easternmost and Westernmost points you've been?

[UrbScotty]

We've seen the northernmost and southernmost points to which people have traveled:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=105&topic_id=619626

Now it's time to find out our longitudinal extremities. :-)

West: Phoenix (112 deg 6' W)
East: Indian Head, MD (77 deg 10' W)z

OR... have you crossed the International Date Line?

[populistmom]

1. Me

Eastern- Acadia National Park in Maine

Western- Denver, CO (but I was conceived in San Francisco)

[TheZoo]

2. Not sure about the longitudes

Furthest West was San Diego / Anaheim (I've only lived in Nevada for 7 years, I still have trouble getting people to the Hoover Dam)

Furthest East is St. John, New Brunswick - I remember having to set my phone forward by 4 hours (Atlantic Standard Time - go figure). I have pictures somewhere of the Bay of Fundy, but can't figure out how to post them.

Edited because I wrote "Logitudes" - I've been in IT too long :-)

[greatauntoftriplets]

3. In the US?

East would be the Maine Coast. West would be Hawaii.

In the world (and now this may seem a little odd) the farthest west I've been is China -- to get there from Chicago, I flew west -- and the farthest East I've been is the city formerly known as East Berlin -- I traveled west to get there.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

4. Jamaica....Hermosa Beach

[carolinayellowdog]

5. San Francisco, CA, Madras (Chennai) India

if you use conventional longitude

[Cha]

6. Western most point is

Kauai, Hawaii..21.54N Latitude and Eastern most point is St Augustine, Florida..Latitude 51° 28.

[Beaker]

15. Barking sands, or Kee Beach?

or did you hike the NaPali Coast(we started to, but turned back because it had been rainy, and the...creeks? rivers? were all swollen, and we didn't feel like being swept off a cliff.)

[ktranz]

7. don't know about the logintudes, but

East - Saigon, Vietnam
West - Riverside, CA
East in US - Ocean City, NJ

[evworldeditor]

8. Golan Heights to Chinese Army Base..

The furtherest east I've been...so far is on the Golan Heights in 1969, near the Syrian border after graduating from college and taking trip to Israel.


Furthest west was 20 km southwest of Beijing in 2002. Visited North Star bus factory which is on an old Chinese Army facility...


Goal is India some day.....

[mobuto]

13. ???

Beijing is east of the Golan Heights and west of the Dateline. Beijing may have been the furthest east you've been, even if you had to travel west to get there.

[Skinner]

9. Mine

Easternmost: Flores, Indonesia
Westernmost: Honolulu, Hawaii

(Don't know the exact longitudes, tho)

[RC]

10. East: Indianapolis 86 - 10

West: Viet Nam 108 (?)
I went West to get there and East back to home.

[Mr. McD]

11. Cambodia to the west.

Scotland to the east.

[mobuto]

12. Dateline

So I've been as far West and as far East as anybody can possibly go.

[greendog]

14. Dutch Harbor, Alaska ...... Caribou, Maine

n/t

[Beaker]

16. barking sands on Kauai to the west, London to the east

I wasn't in on the N/S survey, but southernmost would be Bonaire, nothernmost would be London again.

[5thGenDemocrat]

17. Longitudinal extremities

East: Albany, New York
West: Las Vegas, Nevada
John
Or Montreal -- though I believe Albany is slightly east of Montreal.

[dawn]

18. I don't know the longitudes

But I have crossed the International Date line. I went from LAX to Tokyo. So is Tokyo the Westernmost point I've traveled or the Easternmost? I'm confused.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

19. East: some place in Germany or Austria

West: Chongqing, China

and yes, I have crossed the International Dateline many times. I enjoy the fact that when you come back from Asia, you arrive home before you left.

[rucky]

20. Hawaii - Moscow

[maveric]

21. Did ya know that Carson City NV is further west than Los Angeles?

me: West, San Francisco CA
East, Old Orchard Beach ME

[woofless]

22. Blaine, WA west

and Summerland Key (20 miles N. of Key West) east, or I guess Cape Cod is further East than the keys. Anyway been ALMOST corner to corner SE to NW.

[101 Proof]

23. Winter, Wisconsin..

and Devil's Tower, Wyoming.

[BurtWorm]

24. Easternmost: Berlin

Westernmost: Kalaloch, WA (unless San Diego is further west).

[GOPisEvil]

25. Same as my north/south...go figure!

Honolulu and Fulda, Germany.

[RebelOne]

26. West: Los Angeles East: British Isles and France

[trof]

27. This is very confusing.

If you are westbound and cross the international dateline, are you now east?
The compass still says "W".
What about coming the other way?
This makes my head hurt.
OK...from New York I've been as far east as Bombay.
Or is it Mombai now?
This isn't helping my head.
From New York again, I've been as far west as Tokyo.
But that's east.
ow
:shrug:

[Skinner]

28. I took it to mean "without crossing the international dateline"

but perhaps I misunderstood.

[GOPisEvil]

29. These questions were so much easier when the earth was flat.

:D

[Hubert Flottz]

34. Do you mean it ain't flat?

West, Tin Can Beach Kolley-4-knee-ya
East, Bebra Germany

[Rabrrrrrr]

43. Oh you and your "round earth" conspiracy.

Give it up already! "blah blah blah the earth is really round blah blah blah" coming from ya all the time...like a broken record, which I'll point out is flat, thus proving that the earth couldn't be round, otherwise records would be spherical, duh.

[Rabrrrrrr]

44. stupid dupe post

put it in the wrong spot

blah blah blah republicans are evil and the world is round blah blah blah I live in Texas and the world is round blah blah blah...

N/A

[Bossy Monkey]

50. This will be the ONLY time I claim Myrtle Beach, but it's here in SC n/t

[OldSoldier]

54. And you can have it, too

And tell me, is it true that they have a roadblock set up on the outskirts of town to make sure you're carrying your Bible?

[Bossy Monkey]

56. I, uh, don't think you've been to Myrtle Beach lately

They're trying to be the next Branson, but I don't think there's anything particularly Bible-thumping about the place. Gaudy, tacky, and beneath contempt as they are, I think this is one accusation that MB can dodge.

[Aristus]

33. I don't have the coordinates, Ih8thegop, but here goes:

But maybe you didn't and I'm speculating poorly. :hi:

[Zero Gravitas]

51. yup

crossed the date line flying from Hawaii to Fiji and from LA to Sydney.

[phillybri]

46. Since there are no east/west poles, I've circled the globe

Technically I've been all the way around the earth both east and west. :evilgrin: I've been as far east as LA, and as far west as Miami, and I've been in between them, in Kauai.

[Braden]

55. I've crossed the Prime Meridian and the International Dateline.

If we use this hemisphere as a baseline, I guess that's as far west or east as you can go.
