Furthest Places North Dakotans Have Been

Have you ever stopped to think when the last time you and your family took a trip?

I am the first to admit how easy it is to fall into a rut. Day by day, week, by week....the months all seem to merge as one. I have a feature that I post on our 96.5 The Walleye Facebook weekday mornings. My quest is to get others involved, to hear what you have to say. I try and make my questions fairly light and not too controversial, I want to have fun with this and not stir up emotions where people are debating against others. For 4 years since I moved here to Bismarck I've been having fun with this, and I appreciate it.

"Bromo Billboard" is what my feature is called

So for some reason, I wondered to myself - "What's the furthest place I have been?" Let me show you what I posted just this past Monday:

Bromo

"WHAT'S THE FARTHEST YOU HAVE EVER BEEN AWAY FROM HOME?

MY ANSWER: BOSTON ( 2,999 MILES )

That was my answer when I lived in San Diego. So what about you? Do you and your family travel? I was curious just how far some North Dakotans have been - and I was very surprised how many comments I wound up getting. Here is one response from a co-worker - Rick Acker - "St. Paul Island, Alaska. Bering Sea to hunt King Eiders. 700 miles from Anchorage" Keep in mind now, my Billboard isn't intended to be a contest - where people feel compelled to best others, but check out this response -"Diego Garcia, just about halfway around the globe" However if someone were to WIN the price of "The Furthest Place Travelled" - This person would WIN it.."All the way. I did a world cruise in 1985" - I'm going to guess that took at LEAST a couple of days...:)
