The Center of the Nation.  Here we stand, at the center of everything, the geographic center if the USA.  Kent’s first comment, “It looks an awful lot like the middle of no where”.  Hmm, so true.  We drove 7+ miles of gravel road across pasture land, climbed through barbed wire fence, and tiptoed through the cow piles to view the simple, official geologic survey marker, the CON.

In a bit more accessible place, the center of Belle Fourche SD, the center of the nation location is celebrated with beautiful compass rose shaped monument made of South Dakota granite. 

I am glad we took the time to see them both.
