Long Island Meet Pics (WARNING LOTS OF BIG HUGE PICS!!)

[Bodder]

Where I said on Long Island (Farmingdale, NY) to Orlando, FL is ~1110 miles (1800km), about a 19 hour drive. Two days of good driving, really.

Good God, that is further than the mainland here is long!!!

Have you looked on a map recently? The U.S. is pretty big. *Acreage wise, bring on the fat jokes*

Oh and where are those videos of the hard tire chirping launches!? hehe

I'd like to see these

It's a big country - if we go again, we'll definitely fly. However, driving saved about $300 in airfare, so I'm happy.

Edit - just to give you a size of how large the country is, the drive from Orlando, FL to San Francisco, CA is over 4,600 km.

Maybe I'll be able to attend a meet up that-a-way sometime after spring.

Next time there's a NY meet, let me know. Sheesh... Well, y'all would laugh at my Cavalier... You'd have the pedals on the floor before you knew they existed... My car moves pretty good for being small and not very powerful... It just takes some getting used to.

Please speak in American terms? Just kidding

From the Orlando corner to Fairbanks would be even longer, I imagine.

From Miami to Deadhorse is a mere 5444 MILES. There we have it. Even farther than driving to Hawaii, I imagine.

Now why Google maps won't let me set a route from Deadhorse AK to the Tierra Del Fuego, I don't know why. It seems to lose itself in northern Mexico. Can't get to Mexico City eve.n

[watkins]

The only problem with Alaska is that it doesnt count. Its outside the continuous 48 and almost never figures in to measurements of the country, with exception to total area.

That said, I think Maine to Hawaii is farther, as the crow flies.

It all depends on how the underground tunnel works.

But if you're talking about straight flight, from the corner of Maine to the farthest point of Hawaii is 5200 miles.

now, are we talking straight on a map, or the great circle route straight?

[blauenlanze]

Great circle striaght, it's the way the webpage I found calculates te distance.

[watkins]

Im talking point A to point B without turning. Lay a chalk line over the earth and snap, a la great circle.

[watkins]

If you lay a chalk line on the earth, you have to turn. If you do the great circle, on the map it looks like you're turning, but when you actually steer your plane/car/pigeon, you keep the vehicle pointed striaght the whole time.

If a higher being were to take a giant Chalk Line Of The Gods and snap it on the planet, it would be a great circle, cause I said so. Higher beings care not for maps! And they dont use blue chalk either.

edit: uhh... wheres your post? Did I eat it by accident?
