Longest distance ever traveled?
Farthest North? - Probably when I drove around central Skye in September 2005. Knott is the most northerly village on that portion of the A850, but I prefer to refer the reader to the village of Flashadder. :-)
Farthest South? - An anchorage off Norman Island, British Virgin Islands in December 2006, where I went snorkeling withshy_kat and redactrice
Farthest East? - Tilbury Fort, Essex, where I attended a 1985 drill session with a UK Napoleonic French reenacting group, my first introduction to close-order drill.
Farthest West? - Portland, Oregon, for a friend's wedding.
Highest Mountain - Seen? Probably Longs Peak, Colorado. Climbed?
Hottest Place - Almost certainly the bloody awful Tidewater, Virginia, where I grew up. I recall summers it went over 100*F multiple times, of course with the added benefit of high humidity (and, when I was a kid, no A/C). Second place would be DC, where I've spent the last 20 years. Given that I *hate* being hot, I've been bloody stupid about where I've lived.
Coldest Place - Not sure, but probably either Fort Drum, NY (where I went to do some work for the Army) or Williamstown, MA (where I spent several winters during college).
Personal Notes: Historic forts (or fortified places) that I've been reenacting at include Fort de l'Île Sainte-Hélène, Montreal, PQ (twice); the stockade of Sainte Marie among the Iroquois, Syracuse, NY; Ft Ticonderoga, NY; Ft Niagara, NY; Ft Pitt, PA; Ft Ligonier, PA; Ft Frederick, MD; Tilbury Fort, Essex (as mentioned above); the Magazine, Williamsburg, VA...can't think of any others right off.
Places I've been kayaking, canoeing, or rowing include Lakes Washining and Washinee, CT; Lake Onota, MA; Grand Lake, CO; Cape Henlopen, DE; Mabou River, Cape Breton Island, NS; Grasmere, Cumbria; Sound of Raasay, Highland.
Places I've been sailing include Mobjack Bay, VA; Hampton Roads, VA; Potomac River, DC; Penobscot Bay, ME; Bahamas; Virgin Islands; Bay St Lawrence; Loch Leven, Loch Linnhe, and the Sound of Mull

Aug. 5th, 2008 12:51 amI love this site about sea kayaking. Yes, I can barely manage to keep a regular kayak from tipping over, so sea kayaking is quite an ambition for me. But it's an amazing way to be close to nature, be nearly part of the sea, and to travel with the bare essentials across wind and water to see some amazing places. They've been a lot of the places I've traveled either on land or during my sailing trip last autumn; they've been a lot of other places that I'd love to go.
They also have a super section on mountains...
