What borders have you been to?

[Vosem]

An interesting topic I was just discussing with my brother. What country borders have you come within 10 miles of, on land? (Crossing it counts, obviously). It doesn't count if you're on a plane. To my surprise, I've only actually been to three such boundaries:

US-Canada
France-Netherlands (on St. Martin)
Costa Rica-Nicaragua

What about you?

[anvi]

I've been to the U.S.-Canada border at both the International Peace Gardens in North Dakota and at Niagara Falls. 

But the most interesting border I've been to was in Basel, Switzerland.  I have a picture I took of it hanging on my apartment wall.  It's a misty January day, I'm standing in the back of the Erasmus Church, that is, standing in Switzerland, looking out over the Rhine River, and on the left edge of the Rhine was France, and on the right edge was Germany.  I really love that spot, even though I was only there once.

Too many to count...

[dead0man]

Just the US-Canadian and US-Mexican borders...only crossed the Canadian one (and that was many many moons ago).

If you really wanted to, I guess you could count "crossing" into an embassy as crossing a border, in which case I would have crossed into UK territory (in Riyadh).

Canada - USA, many times (crossed at Ft Erie/Buffalo, Ivy Lea bridge, QC-VT and ME-NB). I have been within 10 miles of the border in Sault Ste. Marie as well, and I crossed through US waters on the Vancouver-Victoria ferry.

Also, I live within 10 miles of the Canada-Quebec border

[minionofmidas]

Canada and Quebec are synonyms. You live within ten miles of the Upper Canada - Canada border.

[Negusa Nagast 🚀]

Not counting state borders.

Only Denmark/Sweden AFAIK.

[Reginald]

Driven Texas FM 170, which runs right along the Rio Grande in places. That's it, unfortunately.

I think I crossed Germany/Luxembourg by foot though.

One time I also went into Poland for a pizza.
