A question responding to a post yesterday by MVD...please read the whole post, my question is later, [View all]

the question was "What is the most east and west you have ever been in the US?"

I responded "Eastpoint Maine & Neah Bay Washington".

I should have said the "most east & west ""cities"" in the Continental US" but I failed to do so.

The "continental US" does NOT include Hawaii, Alaska, or any of our territories.

NOW THE QUESTION

Without using ANY search engines, "WHO KNOWS THE FURTHEST POINT EAST, AND THE FURTHEST POINT WEST IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA?

Please I beg of you, if you use a search engine, disqualify yourself from this question. I have incredible belief in the integrity and brilliance of DU posters, and I really believe you will all hold yourselves to the standards I ask.

If you know the answer, post below, if you don't know the answer, I will tell you by noon MDT on Friday.

I look forward to your posts and answers.



I should explain...that includes Alaska, Hawaii & all of our territories.
