How far do you live from Lebanon, Kansas?

That’s amazing. Since the distances from Lebanon that I got for the four cities nearest the extremes on my atlas map of the Lower 48 were significantly different E-W and N-S I just have to assume roads’ paths account for why the numbers are so much off. Line-of-sight and great circle measures only tell part of the story if you’re planning a trip, especially a long one.

It might be fun to know which latitude includes the greatest distance overland from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and which longitude has the greatest distance N-S and all on land (or over small lakes and such).

I seem to recall another geography trivia thread where that issue was at least brought up, if not answered.

I’m pretty sure I have you beat in that department :smiley:

I’ve actually (just barely) been to Lebanon briefly during my military service. Oh wait, you mean Lebanon KS, not Lebanon, Mid-East…? :smack:

Oh, and FTR, my distance from Lebanon KS is: Distance: 6654.1 miles, 10708.7 kilometers (according to http://www.infoplease.com/atlas/calculate-distance.html)

My distance from Lebanon, Mid-East*, OTOH, is a measly 70.5 miles (113.4 km). So I think I’m the closest here to some kind of Lebanon… :stuck_out_tongue:

  • Calculated as my distance to Rosh Haniqra, which is on the Israel-Lebanon border, and almost certainly the closest point on the Lebanese border from where I am)

A bit over 1300 miles, and not quite 20 hours of driving time.

ETA: my mother grew up in Kansas, but still over 250 miles away.

7,548 miles, more or less.

Depends on whether you have it next year, my vacation plans for this year involve painting my living room and my mother’s windows.

Only if you aren’t on location. ISTR one of the last times we “talked” you were headed to Poland.

That would have been a while ago… I think I’ve been back from Poland for (checks fingers), Oh, at least 2 years now…? (and it was a 3 day trip anyway.)

I’m at work right now, which is in Ra’anana, about 10 miles NE of where I live.

So I’m actually closer now to Lebanon than when I wrote the previous post!

One thousand miles.

Exactly!

274.5 miles (I’m in Kansas City, MO).
