Elizabeth (Alaska) | 14074 comments Cerphina, I think you might have the first 3 mixed up. If you are intending to go from west to east, the largest West longitude will be first, and go in descending order, then the smallest East longitude and increasing order. Your Easts are fine, your Wests are mixed up.


Sarah (Bright & Bookish) (brightandbookish) | 113 comments Yes I mixed up Canada when I was typing. Oops! It should go US, Peru then Canada. Should I edit the post or repost the whole thing?


Elizabeth (Alaska) | 14074 comments Yes, edit your post - If Liz hasn't seen it yet, she'll see this conversation and be fine.
