Summer Vacation (Posted on 2003-10-22) Difficulty: 2 of 5
Ted is a world traveller. This summer, however, he decided to see the good old U.S.A.

On his vacation he went to the northernmost, southermost, easternmost and westernmost points in the U.S. (not necessarily in that order).

He did it without ever crossing a landborder between states and only leaving U.S. controlled territory once.

How did he do it?

Ted lives in Alaska. He started is trip by taking a dogsled to the northernmost point in his home state (the northernmost point in the US). He then dogsledded to the nearest airpost where he hopped a charter plane out to the Aleution Islands where he landed on the islands just to the east and west of the 180th meridian (the western and easternmost points in teh US). Then he fueled up the charter and headed for Hawaii (this is the only time he left US territory). Where he went to he southernmost Island and the southernmost point in the US.
