i think id be completely lost on the east coast, never been further east than phoenix.
And I'd be entirely lost on the west coast. Never been further west than Houston. :p

Sterotypically "Me" Snipe:
The West Coast is an amoral pit of avarice, fornication and obscenity.
But then again so is the East Coast.

Liberator has obviously never seen Deliverance. :p

You forgot the post above mine. :p You know, the one that I quoted.
-
You quoted it. I didn't need it. :p

Well, I've never been further east than NC ever, and for all intent and purpose the I-65 coridor on the way to my Grandparents in Michigan. And I've never been further west than Brownsville.
The South has been trying to work off the image from that bloody movie for 30 years.

Farthest north: Banff, Canada.
Farthest west: Honolulu, Hawaii.

I've been everywhere, man.
Except Europe/Asia/Africa/Austrailia/Antarctica. :(
edit: D-ohh, I fail at South-American Geography.

It's hard when they're so loud and numerous. Don't even get me started on the "Coal keeps the lights on!" bunch.
Either way, I've been as far west as Arizona and California, and as far east as Virginia and North Carolina. Both can be just as crazy and beautiful. I think I'll end up living in the south-west when I get out of college though. I just love that desert air and the heat.

Been around to a few places :)
I notice some of you have never been outside of the US. Time to travel! At least travel to Canada... it's not THAT far away and many actors and newscasters are either from Canada or come to Canada to pick up the accent so you should be able to understand us :) (We have the TV accent)

I hate to say it, but there's something severely wrong with any place that made statehood during or around the California gold rush. Oregon and California state governments are both pretty ****ed up, and the screwups carry on down to cities and counties in most of California.
Virginia and Maryland have considerably less tax burden and spend it considerably better. Hell, Texas does.

Wow, you guys really haven't experienced the North, have you? Granted, I haven't [yet] set foot in the Territories either, but my High Level trip puts you all to shame so far :P
North: http://maps.google.ca/maps?q=58.61453,-117.162867&num=1&sll=58.377531,-116.005839&sspn=0.011702,0.032015&ie=UTF8&ll=58.605741,-117.152538&spn=0.067425,0.221958&z=13

East: Gatineau, PQ, Canada
West: http://maps.google.ca/maps?q=50.773205,-128.431778&num=1&sll=18.426851,-68.421478&sspn=0.491184,0.887833&ie=UTF8&ll=50.624202,-128.147278&spn=0.656903,1.775665&z=10 which as it turns out is quite a bit further West than Catalina Island, CA, which would be my other choice.
And +1 to IceFire, you Americans really need to get out of your own country. Canada and Mexico are so close, you have no excuse. (And before anyone lectures me, I've been all over the Western US, just haven't made it out East yet).

West: Honalulu, Hawaii
East: Tokyo, Japan :P (unless that counts as west, even though it's The East, in which case I'd say Portland, Maine)
North: Roxbury Pond, Maine.
South: Tampa Bay/St. Petersburg, Florida.
Current: Manhattan, Kansas. Decided that smack dab in the middle was best. :p

Yeah, I've been a lot of places.
-
North: Mammoth, Yellowstone, Wyoming
South: Willemstad, Curacao (just off the northern coast of Venezuala. That place had, ironically, the best Italian restaurant I've ever been to.)
East: Bodega Bay to the north of San Francisco, California. (I think. My crazy Aunt insisted on giving me directions instead of just showing me a map. All I know for sure is we made it to the Pacific, and we were somewhere west from Napa.)
West: Dover, England
Having kids is a pretty strong deterent to long-distance travel, so I doubt I'll be beating any of these for awhile. At least not until they are old enough to carry their own bags. :p
-
Highest (on land) - Somewhere in Peru after crossing the border from Bolivia. Broke 15k feet according to the GPS. That's higher than any mountain in the lower 48 states. :O
This was topped by that time I inhaled plastic-flavored dream goo.
Lowest: Uhhhhh... a few feet below sea level? Unless you count depth under ground, in which case probably a few hundred feet (?) somewhere in Luray Caverns, Virginia.
I wonder who's traveled the most cumulative distance north/south/east/west of their hometown. Looks like it might go to Psycho.
-
North: Banff, Canada
South: Lower end of Baja California. No, lower than that, the very tip of Baja.
West: Maui, Hawaii
East: Dover, England. (Got lost looking for a WW2-era airfield that had been eaten by houses.)

:wtf: I thought you'd been deployed? Am I getting you mixed up with someone else?
-
He's never directly made the claim, but some of his posts could certainly be read that way.
-
No, I did directly make that claim.
I thought we were talking about in the US though.

South: Roma, Italy. And Portugal, again.
East: Italy and Germany...
(I don't exactly remember where I have been, hence the unsureties.)
