Oh...Deer Slayer..the Younger......wherever you got your data info on Washington State only being 240 miles across...West to East, is in error.Originally Posted by Deer Slayer
Miles ole boy little Washington State is only 240 miles across. I believe our Tarheel state is around 560 miles east to west.
Like...big error. To be more accurate, it is about 425 miles from West to East, and while that is still not as much length as NC has...the Tarheel State has been known to...stretch things a bit.
So, let's look at real statistics, like....land area and population. Washington State has a land area of 66,544 sq. miles, and a population of only 6.7 million peeps. Whereas North Carolina has a puny land area of only 48,711 sq. miles, and an overabundence of peeps to the tune of 9.5 million.
Those numbers equate to: Washington...100 peeps per sq. mile North Carolina....195 peeps per sq. mile.
Good thing neither of us live in New Jersey...1185 peeps per sq. mile
Take that, you...tarheelian
