I just asked the same question elsewhere. The great circle route between Dallas and Tokyo takes you pretty far north. I'm not getting my hopes up, though.

What latitudes were you at?

Somewhere in 70° N. Flights from Seattle to Frankfurt take that route. On the flight tracker app there are flights on there from NY to Seoul that are going over the North Pole.

Edmonton, Canada is the Northest I've ever been. It was 9 degrees.

San Diego is the Southernmost place I've ever been. At the zoo. Hah-hah.

I was in Fairbanks, Alaska and went inside the 40 below zero room - it was cold but I'm sure nothing like the real thing with wind chill.

One year we had a day that was - 20 we had the heat full blast and the fireplace going non stop. That was crazy cold for here.

I was asking about when johnmarti was in Edmonton.

I don't really know where most people are from so I don't like to assume which they are using.

[–] johnmarti59 (2356) 4 years ago

It was 9 degrees Fahrenheit. I know they use Celsius. 9 Celsius would be around 45 degrees Fahrenheit.

Yeah I live there thats why I was asking 9c is not bad for an early spring/late fall day. I had to look up 9f and you must have been here in the winter.

Some girl picked me up at my blackjack table in Vegas and invited me to spend some time with her in Edmonton. We spent most of our time at the West Edmonton Mall. I love that place. It was winter out but it was a great time.

I spent a lot of my teen years in that mall.

Yes, until Covid - Although it seems Andy still is able to do some traveling. I can go to Mexico, but not Canada and I would love to visit the Canadian Rockies this summer.

North: Along the Gunflint Trail in the Boundary Waters area of northern Minnesota, nearly to the Canadian border.
South: Anna Maria Island, Bradenton, Florida, just south of St Petersburg.

Edit: Oops, I've been to Hawaii. The Big Island is farther south than Florida.

Toronto to Miami here in North America. I'd have to find a globe to give you the world travel variants.
