EDIT TO PREVIOUS POST: I forgot to mention that we stayed in Christiansted.
A great time to ask a question about St. Croix....

Not wanting to start a flame war but...
"The easternmost point is Pochnoi Point, Semisopochnoi, Alaska, because it lies east of the 180-degree longitude.
But! It's really an "it depends" on what you mean by "easternmost," says Cindy Beidel, spokesperson for National Geographic Society.
Pochnoi Point, Semisopochnoi Island, Alaska (179°46'E)—easternmost point in all of U.S. territory, by longitude, or Point Udall, St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands (64°34'W)—easternmost point in all of U.S. territory, by direction of travel."

No flame war...
Yes, I knew that. I meant to put "easternmost" in parentheses like I did for "rain forest" in my original post. If you really want to be confused, look at a map of latitude and longitude and try to justify Pochnoi Point being the easternmost point as you will focus on the continental U.S. and look at from that perspective.
But a correction to your post. Pochnoi Point lies west of the 180 degree longitude line.
We're really off-topic here but there are so very many definitions of Easternmost, it all becomes quite silly
