How Far From Tabasco to ...
We spend a lot of time looking through Gazetteers & Almanacs that were published in the late 1800's and early 1900's. Many of the Gazetteers include the distance from a community such as Tabasco to various places of note, such as the White House.
With a nod to our favorite Gazetteers, the straight-line distance beginning in Tabasco and extending to:
- Kingston, which is the Seat of Ulster County, lies 16 miles [25.7 km]<1> to the east northeast. If you could walk a straight line from Tabasco to Kingston, with an average speed<3> of 2.2 miles [3.5 km] per hour, it would take most of a day to make the trip. A horse and buggy averaging 3.2 miles [5.1 km] per hour would take five to six hours.
- Albany, which is the State Capital of New York, lies 62 miles [99.8 km] to the north northeast (NNE). Driving, with an average speed of 63 miles [101.4 km] per hour, would take less than an hour, a buggy would take about three full days and walking would take most of three days.
- The White House (Washington, DC) is 249 miles [400.7 km] to the southwest (SW). Driving would take nearly four hours, a buggy would take 10 days and walking would take 15 days.

Footnotes ...
| <1> | Our distances are not driving distances, but are calculated as a 'straight-line' (or point-to-point) distance. A straight line distance ignores things like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line drawn from Point A (ie- Tabasco) to Point B. In other words: 'As the crow flies'. |
| <2> | While we're fans and frequent users of TripAdvisor, you should know that we're also members of the TripAdvisor affiliate program. |
| <3> | While we have tried to pick reasonable speeds, the rate of travel is very theoretical - obstacles like fences, hills, lakes, river crossings and rest stops have been ignored. When we say 'Days' of travel, we're assuming 8 hours of travel per day. |
| <4> | The shortest line can be visualized by stretching a string on a Globe from Point A to Point B - this is known as a Great Circle Route. Where you might expect the shortest route from Tabasco to the Middle East to be East and South, the Great Circle Route actually lies to the North and East.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Tabasco. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 41.8476, Longitude: -74.3007 In this case, the coordinates for Tabasco have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). |
| <5> | The calculated bearing (or angle) to Jerusalem is 305.994 degrees. |
| <6> | The calculated bearing (or angle) to Mecca is 301.76 degrees. |
| <7> | The calculated bearing (or angle) to the Vatican is 302.279 degrees. |
