    Whats the most remote you've ever been?

    Was thinking about this a couple of months ago... I was on North Manitou island... about 10 miles out in Lake Michigan - that's one of the great lakes. No one else on the island (May, yeah it was cold). Not even a ranger. spent 14 days out there. I've been way more north, but it's amazing, there are people about everywhere.

    It's not easy to get that far from anyone else. I guess depends on where you live, it might be.

    But there is something cool about it.

    I didn't talk to my wife for over 6 hours, once.

    ACK!

      Lady Boot Bay off of Lac La Croix in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area in northern Minnesota. 7 miles from the nearest road and 10 miles from the nearest paved road. My dad and I stayed there for three days and did see or hear anyone but ourselves.

        Probably driving through Eastern Utah very early morning. There's a section of I-70 where there's no services for 110 miles. So depending on if there's other people on the road or not, you can be pretty remote ...

                I spent a month in the Canyonlands region, I was just north of The Maze at Horseshoe Canyon about 70 miles south of Green River and maybe 50 west of Moab

                  although i've spent time in the amazon region, i was never particularly remote and there were always people around. the remotest i've been is probably bodmin moor in cornwall.

                      getting carried away by a sea current and then having to swim 2 hours back to shore, doing controlled breathing so I don't get cramp in the legs (or getting it at wider intervals) and having the whole shore dissapear from sight and the waves current against me. fortunately it worked because i'm still here and the fish are still hungry.
                      (the reason i got drifted so off shore was a girl which was with me and we were talking and playing, and then we got together because we said that if we're still alive after that ordeal it's a clear signt there's a divine plan that we'll be together). i also carried her from time to time in the sea along myself.
                      also amazing the strength of 20 year olds. If that happened now, I'd be dead.
                      (but of course the porbabibilties of getting compeltely carried away are less too. dont you just love nature's balance)
                      the feeling of finally stepping foot on dry land is something i'll probably never forget
                      i always check the shore distance from then on

                        I took a train to AZ in 2000. Some of the desert landscape was quite remote.

                          By myself, with no one else with me? Takla forest road on the way to Stuart River. Spent an afternoon exploring. Prince George to Jasper on the Yellowhead is pretty remote and I've been through there many times. Little Bighorn river in Wyoming/Montana is pretty remote as well.
