How many miles do you consider a move to be “across country”?

I think it all depends more on the start and end points and how far you could go in that direction and still be in the country! I think "regions" as each person understands them play more of a part than just raw miles. I'll use South Florida as an example "start point" since I grew up there. I'd call all these places "halfway across the country": -D.C. (~900 miles away; on the border of what I'd call the South and the North, so on the far end of the same region; "halfway" to Maine) -Chicago (~1200 miles away; in the Midwest, which borders the South, so one 1 region away; "halfway" to Canada) -El Paso (~1600 miles away; still in the South, so on the far end of the same region; "halfway" to the Pacifc Ocean) -Denver (~1700 miles away; in the Mountain West, but only "halfway" to the Pacific Northwest) On the other hand, I'd call all of these "across the country": -Roswell, NM to the Pacific Ocean (~1500 miles+; PAST TEXAS, making it part of the Southwest; feels culturally tied in with SoCal and AZ) -Minneapolis (~1500 miles; "far north" of the Midwest; feels closer to the North Woods and Canadian border than other Midwestern cities like Chicago or Columbus) -Sault Ste. Marie (~1400 Miles; at the Canadian border, so literally the other side of the country) -All of New England minus Connecticut (~1150 miles+; New York and the CT burbs are basically "North Florida" to this Southern Floridian; farthest region north on the same coast) -the Dakotas, MT, ID, NV, and the Pacific Coast (~1500 miles+; boarder states and a couple super far honorable mentions)
