Alaska has approximately 2,670 islands, most of which are uninhabited. Who knows? If you contact the owner of one of those remote islands, you could possibly end up living on a private island.

Well, it technically has two, as the 208 mile long one north of El Paso, Van Horn, Pecos, etc. is also a northern boundary.

But I think you're referring to the 2 miles long one NE of Clayton, NM.

I believe most uninhabited islands are not privately owned. They tend to be government owned and off limits. If you want to own an island, I think you will have to buy an occupied island. Plus, if an island is uninhabited, there is usually a good reason for it. It's likely not inhabitable. For example: no water or food.

Yeah, I guess I completely forgot about the other one. It was that little 2 mile one I had not been previously aware of.

A small portion of Sandoval County, New Mexico, exists as a geographically separate exclave between Los Alamos County and Santa Fe County.

2. Pennsylvania-Ohio-Michigan

•*Chester, Pa. is 1,173 miles, or nearly 19 hour drive, to Copper Harbor, Michigan.

The drive time from Chester to Detroit is less than the drive time from Detroit to Copper Harbor.
