Southernmost Point Buoys

#1
I am sure nearly all of you have seen the famous red "Southernmost Point" buoy down in Key West. There happens to be a full-sized replica at a beach-themed bar near my home here in Pennsylvania. It is 1325 miles from the original. That got me thinking about a potential ride theme, so I started searching for other replicas or Florida Key themed attractions... but, I'm coming up empty.

Have any of you guys come across a "Southernmost Point" buoy replica anywhere on your travels?

There's a buoy for the Northernmost Point in the Contiguous U.S., and if you Google it you'll find that Angle Inlet has its own interesting and peculiar history.

I know it's not a replica per se, but you were looking for a theme.

Which, ironically, one has to ride through Canada to get to. :oops: Of course, with the pandemic, you can't get there from here:

I have heard of the Northernmost Point buoy. Maybe we'll throw that in for the "extreme" variation. Though it would be worth looking into whether there are any replicas of that one too.
