1. Vancouver and Key West

I don't get out much

[Cloud]

6. I have you beat.

The southernmost I have ever been was Juarez Mexico. The northernmost was Denver Colorado.

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

97. 22nm from the S. Pole for South... Helsinki for the north..

[trof]

2. Feet on the ground? Or over?

Flown over the magnetic north pole and the geographic one.
Feet on the ground, Anchorage.
South, Bombay I think.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

4. You never crossed the Equator then

Bombay is still 19 degrees North

[trof]

10. Never did.

Guess I've never been out of the northern hemisphere.
Hadn't thought about that before.

[carolinayellowdog]

3. Reykjavik and Quito

64'N, 0'S

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

12. Wow

I don't think there's much civilization north of Reykjavik. 2 degrees away from the Arctic circle. Summers there must be WEIRD.

[Ronnie]

75. Me...

...too.

[UrbScotty]

5. Sault Ste. Mare (Michigan) and Tucson

Sault Ste. Marie: 46 deg 28'
Tucson: 32 deg. 41' N

n/t

[Screaming Lord Byron]

8. Keflavik, Iceland 64 N, Dunedin, NZ 45 S% nt

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

14. That must be near the southern end of NZ, correct? (nt)

[Screaming Lord Byron]

36. Yeah, about 3/4 of the way down. n/t

[gator_in_Ontario]

9. Montreal and Key West

[scarlet_owl]

11. Chicago is the northernmost, Matamoros, Mexico is the

southernmost.

[Mrs. Venation]

13. Chicken, Alaska and Playa Del Carmen, Mexico n/t

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

15. Are you calling me chicken?

Or is there a place in Alaska called Chicken? If so, lots of potential for funny T-shirts there.

Edit: typos galore

[greendog]

34. I got laid in Chicken, Alaska....

....well, not really but I stopped in Chicken to get a tire repaired and the guy who helped me out was wearing a t-shirt that said: "I got laid in Chicken, Alaska".

[ironflange]

16. Mine

N: Helsinki, Finland
S: Matamoros, Mexico

Been further north in an airplane, though (polar route)

[ProfessorGAC]

17. Salvador, Brazil and Saskatoon, Canada.

Salvador: 12 56 S 38 27 W
Saskatoon: Wasn't listed and i'm too lazy to look it up. But, it's pretty darn far north.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

22. 52°10' N

Found another coordinates site: http://www.realestate3d.com/gps/world-latlong.htm

[ProfessorGAC]

41. Thanks So Much

See, i got away with my laziness, as JCCyC rides to my rescue.

[KCDem]

18. Rejkavik and Antalya, Turkey

Hm. Must. Go. South.

I've also been in northern (middle--Hell, exactly) Norway but it wasn't listed on the chart.

[SmileyBoy]

20. I've been to Antalya too!!!

I stayed at the Marco Polo resort just 40 km west of Antalya back in the summer of 1995. I got the only sunburn I've ever recieved in my life there.

[KCDem]

37. isn't it beautiful there?

I have fond memories of that place. Met a guy who wrote me postcards for months (he worked at the hotel my friend and I stayed at). In one, he told me how he didn't want to "louse" me. Hm. :shrug: Must've been my passport-blue eyes that had him so spellbound, lol.

[Richardo]

40. KC, you're further south than Antalya Turkey right now...

Houston's about the same latitude as Cairo, Egypt. :-)
Antalya is about the same as Washington, DC...

FWIW...

[SmileyBoy]

19. Edson, Alberta and Los Angeles, CA.

I've been travelling north too much. Time to go to the tropics for once.:)

[HERVEPA]

21. Juliaca, Peru and Anchorage, Alaska (16° S , 62° N)

[damnraddem]

30. If you were in Juliaca, then ...

you must have taken the train down from Cuzco, but didn't go on to Arrequipa. Or did you go to Puno and Lake Titicaca.

I spent a night in Juliaca on the trip from Arrequipa to Cuzco, because I didn't know any better -- had I known better, I would have gone on the Puno, and then taken the same train back through Juliaca on the way to Cuzco in the morning.

[HERVEPA]

91. I see I lied

I flew from Lima to Juliaca via Arequippa, which I now see is further south. From Juliaca, 25 hour truck ride with 15 people sleeping in the truck bed, with some straw to cushion us, inhaling diesel fumes when a cover had to be put on when it rained. (only time I'll ever get to sleep pressed against three women!) Then did 7 day raft trip on Rio Tambopata, leaving from Putino Punca (sp?).
After raft, Flight from Puerto Maldanado to Cuzco, then the usual Macchu Pichu thing.

What was your trip?

[MuseRider]

23. Set foot in

St. Petersburg, Russia

Curacao, Dutch Leeward Islands 35 miles N of Venezuela

Didn't look them up.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

24. That'd be

12º10' N and 59°56' N

[damnraddem]

25. Further west:

North: the Olympic Peninsula in Washington.
South: Santiago, Chile.

[pmbryant]

26. Berlin (N) and Kona, Hawaii (S)

Berlin appears to edge out London and Amsterdam for me.

While Kona, where I vacationed at once when I lived in Honolulu, appears to be my southernmost wanderings.

--Peter

[depakid]

27. Cape Bruny, Tasmania & Fairbanks, Alaska (n/t)

[depakid]

28. 43º S, 64 º N

[GOPisEvil]

29. Fulda Germany and Honolulu, HI

I've never been across the equator! :-(

Edit - I think Germany is further north than Seattle, at least as near I can research.

[Hubert Flottz]

38. I've been to Fulda many many times!

I was stationed at Bad Hersfeld 70-71!

[GOPisEvil]

42. My dear pappy was stationed at Wasserkuppe from 70-72!

Imagine us Air Farce folks living with the tankers! :o

[Hubert Flottz]

43. I worked on the tanks!

I loved it in Germany though! I sure do miss GI Judy's!

[GOPisEvil]

44. I left when I was 4.

I really need to get back for a visit. I hardly remember anything at all. :-(

[Richardo]

45. My Uncle Richardo (I'm named for him) was stationed at Fulda

...He was killed there in 1956 trying to break up a knife fight, right before I was born.

I've got a beer stein with his name and unit (and a pewter tank on the top). Also, when you look through the bottom there's a naked lady embossed in the ceramic (quite the scandal when I was a wee lad!)

Must look up unit when I get home.

[GOPisEvil]

48. LOL!!! My dad has a stein just like that!

It must be a tradition! I forget dad's unit too, but I've got it at home. How funny!

[Richardo]

49. Let's compare unit numbers tomorrow...wouldn't it be a kick if...

:shrug:

[GOPisEvil]

51. LOL Yep...

...my dad was Air Force, we just lived at Fulda because it was the nearest installation with housing. He worked at Wasserkuppe which was a radar installation on a mountain. :shrug:

[Hubert Flottz]

54. I have lots of 35mm slides taken in the Fulda area!

Lots of black and white prints too! The place is beautiful and so are the young ladies! The food and drink there was fine beyond description! The trout fishing was fantastic! I'd love to go back now that the East German border is open! The Iron Curtain was a sad thing indeed to witness! I'm glad it's gone forever!

[GOPisEvil]

55. I may have to check that out.

My parents never seemed overly impressed with the area, but that's them.

If only the dollar were a little stronger against the Euro...:grr:

[Hubert Flottz]

58. We need to do a Fulda thread sometime!

Cat Woman told me she was at Fulda too! I didn't mean to hijack this thread!

[Kellanved]

80. Fulda isn't that impressing

It was labeled "Worst town in Germany"; is famous for it's unbroken support for a politician banned from the conservatives because of his anti-semitic remarks (getting banned by them takes serious stuff, I can assure you). It's basically one of Germany's rural commuter towns.

Well, Fulda is a stop of the Berlin Frankfurt Express train - getting there is no problem ($/€ aside). And: It is really north of Seattle.

[GOPisEvil]

83. THbbbbttttt....party pooper!

Actually, my parents hated it in the '70s, but they say the area around the town wasn't bad, but cloudy all the time. :shrug:

[Kellanved]

84. I prefer "Besserwessi"

And cloudy it is. It is a pretty typical example of central rural Germany, nothing fancy. Worst thing is that you might aquire a taste for Ebbelwoi (flat, strong cider) and Handkäs ( whey cheese, vile smell, no fat but tasty ) - as both specialities are virtually impossible to find in the US...


:hi:

[GOPisEvil]

85. I'd still like to see it as an adult.

I left at age 4, and don't have any real memories. I have no romantic notions; I'd just like some perspective on places I've lived. It's weird seeing Fulda as central Germany. When I lived there it was eastern West Germany. :D

[Hubert Flottz]

88. After hanging out in Grafenwher and Wildflecken, Fulda was.........

like Paradise! Hear me now, believe me later, Fulda pumped me up after a trip to those two frozen places! I loved your country most because the hills reminded me of home! I miss the schaslick and beer...............

[Kellanved]

81. dupe

[MissMillie]

31. Never left North America

Richibucto, New Brunswick, Canada (It's the town directly across from Prince Edward Island, which is apparently too hick to be put on the chart)

[jpak]

32. 80o N 75o W (Kane Basin Canadian Arctic)

68o S 173o E (Antarctica)

We started out in Barrow Alaska ~72o N in August and sailed through the Pacific (Aleutian Islands, Hawaii, New Zealand).

We were supposed to get to ~74o S (Ross Sea Antarctica) but our ship broke down in the ice and we had to return to New Zealand.

Next year we should make to the Bay of Whales - the southernmost navigable waters on earth...
