Where am I now.

[KitingHigh]

I walked a long way and I tried to get off this rock. I went as far as I could go on foot. I'm now as far as I can possibly be from the center of the earth while still standing on it.

What country am I in?

No cheating (google)

Tanzania or Ecuador?

Tanzania or Ecuador?

Needs to be a tall mountain near the equator, I think? I'd like to phone a friend...

 

[plethera1]

Nepal? Mt. Everest

Kilimanjaro (TZ) and Chimbrazo (Ecuador) are both just off the equator

 

[ReliableOstrich]

In case anyone wants answers....

Spoiler: It's not Stone Mountain

It's Ecuador

I really thought it wouldn't be that easy.

I'll wait for @CarlsbadNole to answer. There must be part of Antartica's pie crust that's further away.

Summitted one and considered climbing the other ... so had a bit of background. And also knew the earth is a little thicc in the middle.

Initially thought Mt Everest, then I thought, that's too easy.

That would have been the obvious, but wrong answer. Ostrich nailed it though. Everest is the highest peak above sea level, but Chimborazo’s peak is further from the earth’s center due to its proximity to the equator.

Not that it matters, but I built in a hint. I could walk to Equador from Florida, but not to the Himalayas

I always enjoy the riddles you post KH.

What was the answer to one about lights or such that you posted back in November or early December?

On the moon. If you were on the moon facing the Earth (and not close to the poles), the Earth would remain stationary in the sky and light up in 24 hour cycles. You’d get to see the sun for two weeks at a time, followed by two weeks of darkness.
