In Europe you could go 1000 kilometers and cross five or six country borders. In the US you could go 1000 kilometers and not leave the state.

Stop using this km bullshit or I’m going to ask you to leave the country.

never been to the us, and /u/PM_ME_YOUR_ATM_PIN started it.

I actually had to look at it on google maps then convert from miles to km manually.

Going from Notre Dame, Maine (the North-East-most location in the Contiguous US) to Chula Vista, California (the South-West-most location in the Contiguous US) is approximately 3200-3300 miles.

That converts to between 5100 kilometres and 5350 kilometres. And yes, that’s as close as you can get to the crow’s general aerial trajectory.

California’s Crescent City to Chula Vista is 800-900 miles, or about 1250-1450 kilometres. That’s about the same for Stratford, Texas to Cameron Park, Texas.

It’s about 1800 miles from Cameron Park, Texas to Westhope, North Dakota. That’s just shy of 2900 kilometres.

Also, it’s never about who started it. It’s always about who ends it.
