New game for the bored on board.

Okay, here we go. The rules are simple. You open Google Maps, and get to your home(or present location if you prefer). You then search for the word of the day. How far away is that nearest location from you?

The first word of the day is: Obelisk.

Wait, you guys actually got places in your searches? Lucky. The ONLY thing it would bring up for me was some mountain named Obelisk in southern Cali.

Nearest skedaddle to me is 1342 miles away, in San Diego.

I expect most things to be at least 300-400 miles away from where I am at the moment.
