West: Probably Astoria, OR, unless you count the cruise ship that brought me there, which at some points in its journey was farther west than that. There’s also a town in California called Arena Point, that claims to be the most western point in the continental US, but it’s clear on any map that parts of Washington State and Oregon are farther west.

North: Hamburg
In just the United States, my farthest point north would be Bellingham, WA
I forgot to add my heights.

Has everybody on this board been to Death Valley? When I was there last September, I didn’t see any of y’all.
You could get that far down just holding your breath. You’ve never been through any of the harbor tunnels? (I don’t know how deep they are, but it’s got to be more than 13 feet.)
D’oh! Of course! I’m sure I’ve been in a few sub-basements too.
North: Whitefish, MT
South: Tampa, FL
East: Boston, MA
West: San Francisco, CA
Crap, Santa Fe is higher than Rossland, at 2134 meters- that should be my highest. Does this stuff go on my permanent record? I didn’t know there was a test! I didn’t study! The dog ate my homework.
