I was vacationing in Southern Spain once (after working in Seville) with a friend and we were looking around Gibraltar when we noticed there was a ferry that would take you to Morocco. So we took it... I couldn't skip Africa when I was that close! A fun little trip!
The southernmost point of Spain is also the southernmost point of continental Europe. At 36 degrees longitude, traversing the Atlantic Ocean, this would roughly correspond to Nags Head, North Carolina.
Oklahoma actually has 4 mountain ranges, the Arbuckles in south central OK, the Ouachitas in southeast OK, the Wichitas in the southwest and the foothills of Ozarks in the northeast. While they aren't the Rockies, they are still mountains. Oklahoma actually has 10 distinct ecoregions. There are swamps, forests, rivers, lakes, mountains, and prairies. While the interstates do not pass through many of areas, they are still there.
I've seen pictures of some part of OK where "palmettos" grow... sort of like palm trees, but they don't get a trunk. Maybe more of a palm "bush". I forget where this was, but I suspect southeastern OK.

I know the feeling. Several years ago a colleague and I were in International Falls, MN on business. Next morning before we made the long drive back to St Paul, we decided to walk across the little 2 lane toll bridge to Canada and had breakfast at a funky old hotel restaurant a couple blocks from the bridge in Fort Frances, ON. We were so close, just had to step over that border!

Doesn't the northern tip of Morocco actually belong to Spain?

Yes... you go through customs into Morocco from there. But now that I'm thinking about it, does that mean part of Spain is in Africa?
I looked it up and yes, it's Spain, and yes, it's in Africa.
