Blog, Jvstin Style: Cardinal Directions

Well, I had to do some research with “MapQuest”:http://www.mapquest.com/ and “Google”:http://www.google.com/ to find the answers. Here goes:

_What is the furthest North you have ever been?_

Hönefoss, Norway (slightly NW of Oslo).

_The furthest South?_

Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic.

_The furthest West?_

Tofino, British Columbia, Canada.

_The furthest East?_

Either Munich, DE or Garmisch-Partenkirchen, DE (whichever is farther east; MapQuest has them on a perfect North-South line).

_The highest elevation?_

The summit of “Zugspitze”:http://www.summitpost.com/show/mountain_link.pl/mountain_id/150, SW of Garmisch-Partenkirchen in Germany. 2,962m above sea level.

I don’t think I’m doing _too_ badly, for a homebody :-)
