My Grandfather worked as one of the scouts-cooks for the joint American/English survey team that laid down the 49th parallel in the Great Lakes region. At 19 years old, the team was so impressed with him, they named a creek located on the Northwest angle, Harrison Creek. On his grave marker are the words, "Chief Cook & Bottle Washer".

Fun facts: they are governed by the state of Washington. Many Canadians have post office boxes there so they can receive shipping without paying “overseas” shipping cost from the US.. both sides will shop on either side depending on how strong the dollar is, taking advantage of market currency rates..

Yeah, it's pretty interesting just off the coast of Newfoundland. There is actually a little island that is part of the country of France. Saint-Pierre and Miquelon are the last piece of French territory in North America.
I also live right beside point Roberts and I've never been across there . I'll be honest I just never think of it as access to the US. Maybe I'll have to take a drive there one day.

The entirety of what is now Boundary Bay Road in Point Roberts, Washington, was once named after my family. There is still a tiny portion still named after my family to this day. Goodman Road. Somewhere I have a picture of most of my family on my dad's side standing under the one remaining Goodman Road sign. We were in Point Roberts because that's where my great grandfather wanted his ashes buried, right next to his parents' graves, and so that's where we held his funeral. That was back in the late 1990s. I haven't been back since, but I had been there a few times before that.

Well the same goes with MN. MN has a small area that belong to the state but you have to go though about 20 miles of Canadian road to get back to the main part of MN. The place is called Angle Islet. It was a huge problem during the pandemic because people who actually lived in that area could not leave to go to get medical care, shops ect because the boarder crossing between Canada was closed. Most of the area is wildness but they do have a small community of people who lived there. It is a very small community with only a one room school. In fact it is last one room school house left in the state. Another interest if you go canoeing in the boundry water in Northern MN you can paddle right into Canada. Of course there is not much out there but lakes and trees.

The Northwest Angle, which is part of Minnesota that is located at the top left corner of that section of Minnesota that juts up into Canada, is also only accessible by boat or driving through Canada. But, there are two other small pennisulas that jut southward from Canada, on Lake of the Woods. The southern tips of these two pennisulas also cross the 49th parallel. Only accessible by boat. The story behind how Minnesota's Northwest Angle, the establishment of the border point that the long border between the US and Canada was created, and how a British Explorer named David Thompson were all connected in the mess. A book that I wrote tells a little bit about the story of Thompson and the Northwest Angle.

Point Roberts is what geographers call a pene-enclave; a piece of land that can be reached only by traveling through a foreign territory. Other pene-enclaves (US territory located in Canada) along the border include Hyder, Alaska; the Northwest Angle in Lake of the Woods, Minnesota; and Campobello Island, New Brunswick.

You can only get there by car, plane, or boat. As opposed to all the teleporting we use for everywhere else?
