How far North, South, East and West have you gone? What's the highest altitude you've been to, both on land and in a vehicle and lowest altitude.

Use East and West relative to the Prime Meridian (0 Longitude).

I have been as far South as the Southern Tip of Mexico. North would be Victoria, BC Canada. That would be my Western Most Extreme, I believe. Farthest East would be Seoul, RoK.

The highest I've been (don't giggle, Nev) was probably Pikes Peak. Other than that, several commercial flights probably around 33-35k ft. Lowest would be 0', maybe a few feet below in the hold of a ferry.

North - Anchorage, Alaska
South - Hobart, Tasmania, Australia
East - Brisbane Australia (land), Prime Meridian (Air)
West - Hawaii (Land, but I didn't leave the plane) or Anchorage (spent several days there), Prime Meridian (Air)

Altitude - Not sure, I've traveled all over the Sierras and know I've been above Donner Summit, (el. 7085 ft (2160 m))

On the Australia trip I know we broke 40,000 feet (air) but I'm not sure by how much. I was surprised we went that high.

Depth - Death Valley, CA

A few hundred yards north of 49° N
104° 52' W <---> 70° 32' W
31° 19' N

Probably about 5500-6000 feet-ish, and maybe -10 at the other bound. Discounting air travel, of course.

Yes, I know.. I'm not all that well travelled. However..:

Mr. Skee, we really need to get you to the frozen wastes of Ohio. I promise, we'll do it in the summer so as not to shock your delicate suthuhn constitution, though.

Lydiaa -- can you really count Vietnam as the farthest east you've gone, considering you live in Australia? I'd call that west of your home...

I felt compelled, albeit briefly, to make a grandma joke.

Highest: By bicycle, 9,943' - Tioga Pass in the Sierras. By foot ... 9,407' - Mt. Baden-Powell in Southern California.
Lowest: I don't know that I've been to the lowest point in Death Valley (282' below sea level), but I've been to the Salton Sea, which is at 226' below sea level.

West: Olympic Peninsula, WA state (again by bike!)
North: Helsinki, Finland

I have a vague recollection of driving up Pike's Peak when I was a kid, but I don't rightly remember. I also drove up as far as one can drive up Mt. Hood, in Oregon, but I don't quite know how high that is. I'll settle for just under 10K by bike and foot. I'm not gonna count airline travel.

Not counting driving through (or flying over) places, I've been to about three different states in my life. I hate travel, and enjoy home :)
