So I'm Headed for the Nearest Foreign Border

used to go to jersey from NY for cheaper gas

When Scotland devolves, about 150 miles.

It used to be that going to Canada (2.5 hours north to Vancouver) was a good deal for shopping; not any more though. My stepdaughter would take the train up for long drinking weekends before she was of legal age here (when she wanted a change of scene mostly, not like she didn't drink down here). Now it's a better deal to head down to Oregon (3 hours south to Portland), land of no sales tax. It used to have the closest Frye's electronics (Wilsonville), so we'd make the occasional pilgrimage for technology.

pretty close to vermont

im not more than 20 miles away from PA right now

We live about 130 miles away from Tennessee. So we really have to be thirsty if we're looking for Sunday beer.

or lottery tickets. THIRSTY FOR $$$$$$

back in the 60s my dad worked for the US govt and lived in NY. Scarsdale, I think. Anyway, he used to drive to canadia to buy alcohol. this site tells me its 514 miles in a straight line:

http://www.findlocalweather.com/how_far_is_it/ny/scarsdale.html

I vaguely remember a story of him buying a car in canada too but having trouble with the getting it back in the US.

80 km from France
75 km from Holland
130 km from Germany

I have quite a few options

How many times have you walked across a border?

The most memorable time I have done this going from Nogales, Ariz., to Nogales, Sonora. Any time I see pictures of the border fence, it strikes me as just one of the most bizarre things. You've got the same sandy desert with the same kind of folks with the same kind of culture with this international wall splitting the parking lots apart.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/14/Mexican-American_border_at_Nogales.jpg/800px-Mexican-American_border_at_Nogales.jpg

It just seems so arbitrary once you get down there and look at it.

There was another time when I was trying to find Box Elder, Mo., and came across a dirt road that served as the border of Missouri and Arkansas up in the bootheel. I walked all around that intersection and couldn't find a green sign with the town's name on it. It looked all the same, green and deltaly.

I had a friend in college from Belleville, Ill., who was pissed because she had to get dental surgery and the laws on giving drugs to minors even at the dentist's was much stricter than Missouri's. Had she lived twenty minutes to the west, it wouldn't have been a problem.

I work about 15 miles from the Illinois/Wisconsin border, which doesn't mean much to me... other than I am thankful for my weekly job meetings that take me up in to WI so I can fill up for usually 30 cents a gallon cheaper.

PP, I'm not trying to be snarky, but what do you mean by "deltaly"?

It's a word I just made up.

Just all muggy and humid and bugs chirping and crazy green plants growing all over the dirt road that look like they might eat you like Seymour, and any time a truck goes down the way, the dust sits in the air for at least an hour before settling back down on everything.

It wasn't like I was expecting Viet Cong to jump out at me or anything.

I walked across from Mexico to the US at Tijuana, first and only time so far. I'd been working at a natural gas plant in Mexicali and had to catch a plane out of San Diego. The project manager who was supposed to be my ride back to the airport bailed at the last minute, so me and all my gear (computer, tools, luggage) got tossed in a pickup truck and driven the 3 hours west (past the Negro Modelo factory!) by a guy with less English than I had Spanish. I could prattle about the snow on the mountains, but couldn't sort out how to ask him about the logistics of crossing the border. I get nervous, not knowing what to expect (I'd always crossed in a car before), but didn't really have a choice. I was dropped off on a side street and pointed toward a long milling line of people. A little over an hour later, I was processed through, caught a cab and made it to the plane with a few minutes to spare.

and driven the 3 hours west (past the Negro Modelo factory!)

See, now that's ridiculous.

Even though I'm just a few hours away, strangely, I've never been to this spot:

http://www.arkansas.com/images/photos/large/texarkana_stateline_001_l.jpg

Say, lookit that. Arkansas is just as big as Texas!

Any excuse to crank up Google Earth and use the ruler function.

I'm 15 miles from Alabama, 75 miles from Tennessee and 749 miles (as the crow flies, incl. a stretch over the Gulf) from Mexico.

oh i forgot all the trips to Tijuana for underage drinking when i was 18. that was some serious craziness

and driven the 3 hours west (past the Negro Modelo factory!)

See, now that's ridiculous.

I know! And all I could do was point and say "cerveza!?! la buena cerveza es fria!"

yeah ive walked from socal to tj

(look at me with my OC speak!)

1.8 miles from the Canadian border. We moved to Point Roberts, WA three weeks ago. When I go to work, I cross the border twice each way.

I'm fascinated to a sickness about Point Roberts.

Do you have to go through border patrol every time?
Are there US and Canadian patrols on each side of the Point Roberts line?
Can you cross the street without everyone going crazy?
Does your family load up on both Canadian and American currency?
What happened there on 9/11/01?

Let's see . . . I'm about 65 miles from the Ohio/Pennsylvania border, and about 123 miles from the Canada border if I go east, or 173 miles if I go west. (Michigan is 124 miles, not really all that close relative to the Cleveland - PA distance.)

Erie, PA has a big mall there, Millcreek, and a lot of people from NE Ohio go there to shop because PA has no sales tax, but these days, the savings in tax (7.75% here in Cuyahoga County) is not outweighed by the cost of gas, necessarily.

Haven't been to Canada in a long time, and no plans to anytime soon.

Yep, border patrol every time and in each direction. We have NEXUS passes, which gets us into the fast lane, but they're not always open. British Columbians pack Point Bob on the weekends and in the evenings (buying cheaper gas and booze) so the line into and out of can get crazy long.

We're there because my Canadian husband got a job in Vancouver. He's a US permanent resident eligible for citizenship this winter. If we leave the US now, he can't apply for citizenship. If/When we were to come back to the States, they'd reset the clock on how long he'd been in the country and he wouldn't be eligible for citizenship for a few more years. We have a Canadian back account and a US account, but mostly we deal in US currency. The grocery store in Point Roberts is expensive, so I do most of the shopping in Bellingham (where I work). Plus, even though the Canadian dollar is at par, retails prices there haven't yet adjusted, so everything is still about 1/3 more expensive.

Roosevelt Road is the road that runs along the border. You probably could cross it without much hulabaloo, but I think that's just not done.

I'll post some photos tomorrow.

I'm thousands of miles from anywhere. The most isolated major population center in the world.

Are you in Australia or New Zealand?

k78, how come there's no ferry to Bellingham?

Also, check this abnormality out:

CRAZY.

has PP ever been to Four Corners, and if so did it freak him out?

Too scared to go.

i was dissapointed when I found out recently it's just a lame parking lot

http://photos4.flickr.com/4267120_cfca842218.jpg

The guardrails are a nice touch.

What's the sales tax on Sno Cones in Utah? Is it cheaper in Colorado? Could I move there and put that guy out of business?

How come Four Corners is really only accessible from Arizona?

What was that gray horse up to in Colorado? Is he welcome in New Mexico?

What if I went during the summer when Arizona's not observing MDT?

PP: I don't there'd be enough people going between Point Bob and Bellingham each day to make it worthwhile. Our population is only about 1300 and most people on the point are retired or dual citizens that can work in Canada.

What's the sales tax on Sno Cones in Utah? Is it cheaper in Colorado? Could I move there and put that guy out of business?

Are the Sno Cones four different flavors?

I wonder if anyone's ever committed suicide on those four corners.

pennsylvania has 6% sales tax; dunno why people would drive to erie for that.

used to live in dc -- some people asked me to get them cigarettes when i worked in northern virginia.

now i'm ~6 hours to quebec (je me souviens). i once sat for two hours at the border between montreal and plattsburg as hordes of nuckers returned home from canada day cross-border shopping -- it's probably even worse now.

only a few miles from new jersey, if that counts as foreign. they do have cheaper gasoline.

Are you in Australia or New Zealand?

Hawaii

I've never really been into fireworks, but I like knowing that if I wanted to pick some up, there are several large warehouses just across the border in Indiana with names like CRAZY STEVE'S FIREWORKS EMPORIUM.

I used to live on the shores of Lake Superior, and a couple of times we were far enough out on boats to be in Canadian waters. On Isle Royale they'd have park rangers doing customs for people who came across on boats.

When I drive home to MI from Chicago there's a section where you go from WI to MI to WI and back to MI. When I was living up there no-one really paid a lot of mind to that border. I've been on canoeing trips where you cross it several times. Wisconsin doesn't really have much that we wanted, although the only strip clubs in a several hundred mile radius were just over the border in Hurley.

i'd probably have to go over the ambassador bridge in detroit from here. that must be closer than the U.P. or Wisconsin.

"I wonder if anyone's ever committed suicide on those four corners."

I wonder if anyone's had sex at that spot. "Well, you were born in New York, Timmy, but there's a great story about where you were conceived..."

There's a difference between nickn and I: I see a brain half-empty and he sees a vagina half-full.

are you implying he's hung like a thimble?

Look, I'm not a racist so there's no need to bring sewing questions into this.

Gotta check out that Peach Arch. (har)

Although if you draw a straight line, the closest foreign border to Seattle WA is in the Strait Of Juan De Fuca south of the San Juan's and SW of Victoria BC.

Suddenly, the ice underneath the surface gave off steam, creating clouds, and the desert finally had oxygen again.

I had my only navajo taco at four corners. Nom.

haha i like how Utah was the only state to provide a celebrated handicapped ramp up the Four Corners where the other states just kinda hope a wheelchair bound persons either goes into Utah first, or finds the one big enough bump in the cement to get up there

These photographs really remind me of Land's End in Cornwall. Actually there are several fake Land's End signposts where tourists are charged through the nose to get their pictures taken, and I'm wondering if the same is true of Four Corners.

Here's a good test.

If you can get beer in each of the four states in each corner, if one beer stand in the NW corner offers weaker beer, you have a better chance at being at the real thing!

You can get frybread in New Mexico, it seems.

I have so many questions about the Four Corners, but being that the whole site is governed by the Navajos, they're all basically moot.

I love the way those maps of Texas and Arkansas are not to scale. I bet Texans get very annoyed about this.

Somewhere in my parents house is a photo from when I was 10 or so and we drove from San Diego to Minnesota and stopped here and I got down on all fours to straddle all four states while wearing my totally cool Daniel Boone style coonskin cap that I had picked up at a Grand Canyon gift shop and continued to wear for about 200 more miles. I also bought a little sampler pack of various neat gemstones and arrowheads from the Four Corners gift shop. Pretty sure we got Sno Cones there too.

Thank you for my map of Pt Roberts, kate78!

And the APB has pretty much convinced me that I couldn't fit in there. I'd be too tempted to carry a lime across the border.

Haha, no problem!

You can get your run-of-the-mill citrus in Point Bob, but when I must have blood oranges I smu88le c1tru5 in...the border patrol never checks my personal bag, purse, whatever, just my car.

The APB is more newsletter than newspaper, but just the same, I'm still excited to see the new one every month at the store. I'm actually gonna miss the place when we move this fall!

Point Roberts in the news!

This is the biggest thing to happen since some kids got busted smuggling drugs on the school bus a few years ago!

The ferry from Helsinki to Tallinn only takes a couple of hours, so Estonia is quite close to me. Don't know the exact distance though.

Is Hawaii really the most isolated major population centre in the world? I thought Perth was.

I knew this was gonna be about Jenkins.

BTW Kate I saw that article somewhere the other day and I confess my first thought was "she was a model? She looks like ET :/"

"Is Hawaii really the most isolated major population centre in the world? I thought Perth was."

"Perth the Second Most Isolated City in the World - after Honolulu"

http://www.news.com.au/common/imagedata/0,,6836648,00.jpg

127miles to NI

"she was a model? She looks like ET :/"

She was exceptionally toothy. :-S

287 miles to cross the ambassador bridge out of Detroit into Windsor.

I would think Honolulu is more isolated than Perth, as it's 2300 miles from not only the nearest city, but from the nearest continent.

Live in WA, 8 miles from ID. Gas, smokes, booze, guns, sales tax, minimum wage, and such are all cheaper in ID but they for some reason tax food purchases, which is dumb for us because we actually buy most of our food there. But they have income tax and we don't.

I go to Portland frequently enough that I do think ahead about making major purchases there, since they have no sales tax and ours is pretty high.

Minnesota's southern border, I-35 (1993)

I've mentioned it elsewhere, but I've started a TuMbLr called Close to the Borderline, relying mostly on whatever I can find on Google Maps. I've already gone once through the 49 states (sorry, Hawaii), but I'm discovering a bunch of really cool places on the second go-round.

There are a few non-U.S. entries in there too. My favorite so far is the separation between Mexico and Guatemala.

PP, there was a picture featured in a late 70s Sunset Magazine that showed a swimming pool of some Tahoe snow cabin lit up at night that had the state border painted and ID'd clearly along the bottom. I'll try to google it.

Could it have been this one from Mackro's post?

i have had drinks at the florabama

150 miles from the Mexican border, and about 250 from the CA/NV line.

I keep trying to figure out what's going on in Port Chester, NY. It looks like the New York/Connecticut borderline goes right through people's bedrooms.

I like that Point (not port) Roberts is your first post!
I've crossed at Whiteclay NE/Pine Ridge SD.
I like the inclusion of Colorado City/Hildale.
Excellent blog.

I like that Point (not port) Roberts is your first post!

After all I go on in this thread alone about Point Roberts, that typo is embarrassing.

And if we're gonna get really nit-picky, it's Tsawwassen (which is a part of the Delta district municipality) on the BC side.
Lengthy commute aside, I really miss living there.

I shoulda sent you a tshirt before I left: Point Roberts, it's not the end of the world, but you can see it from here.

You need to start sending me postcards from Pt. Robts, Grand Island, Lake of the Woods if you ever get up there...

Would you settle for a postcard from Dildo, Newfoundland?

I'd have to take a boat to get there, but it's the closest foreign territory: Saint Pierre and Miquelon

I have never heard of those islands. Wonder if they kept the guillotine.

ive been there! we went on a field trip in grade 8 and everybody got smashed. there was a store called "tabac et alcool" and we also found a bar that would serve us. i remember drinking a bunch of "kirs" and throwing up.

Saint Pierre and Miquelon: where Newfies teens go to get smashed.

pretty much! it was amazing.

i threw up at the top of a hill after drinking a warm heineken iirc

i'm sorry i can't really relate much about the place itself. i think it was kind of run-down.

crossed the nearest foreign border to pick up booze and toilet roll on sat

I swear on the MN WI border at Stillwater there used to be this billboard/sign that featured on one side a fucked up Packer and the other side a fucked up Viking. Can't remember which way around it was, whether it was welcoming home or warning of hostile grounds. Anyone (Minnesotans?) know of this?

I've been reading Frank Jacobs' columns in the NY Times lately.

Pheasant Island and Cyprus were goood ones.

I will never get tired of cruising around Baarle-Hertog on Streetview.

It's been suffering some neglect, hasn't it?

The nearest border to where I live is between the USA and international waters. Does that count?

you can see how ridiculous it is with the border markings here: https://maps.google.com/maps?q=roetgen&hl=en&ll=50.639677,6.202887&spn=0.004062,0.009227&safe=off&hnear=Roetgen,+Cologne,+North+Rhine-Westphalia,+Germany&gl=us&t=m&z=17

Soooo, can you guess where in this image the borderline between Arkansas and Missouri lies?

http://i.imgur.com/YOBpcI5.jpg

Show-Me State might be a tiny bit more used to snow and ice than their neighbor.

currently, i'm roughly 300 km from the mongolian border, 1500 or so km from the russian border but closer if i cut through mongolia to get there. the closest major mongolian city would be ulaanbaatar. looks like the closest major russian cities are irkutsk or ulan-ude.

Intersting time of year to be so situated, dylann. Stay warm. Or drunk. Whichever seems to best suit the moment.

Swear to God, I would've turned into Clark Griswold and kidnapped someone, perhaps a tribal chief.

About an 80-mile drive to the USA, although the border itself (bisecting Lake Ontario) is roughly half that distance, as the crow flies

Is there a common name for the ... land protrusion of Ontario that London, Brantford, Tornoto et. al sit on?

I guess it's a peninsula since you have to cross water on three sides to get anywhere else, but it doesn't look like one.

Just a unique chunk that's about as big as your average state, contains a huge percentage of Canada's population and is the furthest south of any of the provinces. I'm intrigued.

Also never noticed Lake St. Clair. Ha, what do you think you're doing there.

weirdly i tried to look up crazy borders like that a while ago and nothing about that border came up

http://i.imgur.com/9Az16vW.png

That border is a big reason why I get so caught up in these little imaginary lines. People can't get plumbing run to their house because they live inside a country that's inside a country that's inside their original country.

Or think about horrible crimes like transporting a minor for illicit reasons. It's almost not the rape that criminals get hit with, it's "oh no you don't, don't you even think about taking this shit to another state."

This is so unbelievably in my wheelhouse, pplains! Thanks for posting.

this should probably go in the unusual details thread but:

In April 2014, Cooper Millman (the leader of a certain micronation) measured the length of the river's tributaries to be 10.3 kilometres long

Also about half of that page has distances in km and the other half in miles. Also, one of the rivers is only indicated as being 3.8 long.
