Question Geo quiz!

OK, here is a question that came up among friends:

What is the easternmost point in the USA (all 50 states)?
Yes, it is a trick question

when answer is revealed it will for sure amaze your friends!

Looking at a map, east is right, west is left. The places you guys gave are all to the west. Guam is a US territory (been there a couple of times).

Far as I know the easternmost spot in the US is some place in Maine. Can't recall the name, but I am sure there are plenty of moose!

Okay, you said trick question and I didn't get it. Macklum is right (per Google). Amchitka is easternmost town, and Semisopochnoi Island is the actual easternmost point. Good one! I did find it interesting that one site said people argued about this, but then people will argue about anything.

Yes, Amchitka is right or some part of the Aleutian Islands that fall on the other side of the international date line!

A little known fact, but enough to puzzle your friends for a while and come out a genious

RENO is right!

People usually think that California is always further west than Nevada.
