Regarding a recommendation to get to Shawnee!


If you are coming from the northeast, just pick up I-70 wherever convenient and stay on it until you get to the northwest of St Louis. Then take I-270 south to I-44 and head west. Do NOT pick up I-55 at Troy.


If you are coming from southeast on I-64, turn south on I-255 and then west on I-270 north to I-44 west.

No East St Louis!

Ken,

It is not that I don't think you are brilliant, but everybody knows that Lebanon, KS is the geographic center of the (continental) USA. There is even
a monument there to commemorate the fact. Alaskans and Hawaiians may have a varied opinion here.

But there is a nice is a nice cramp ground (according to RV Park Reviews) in Webber. That is about 30 miles (as a crow flies - I don't know how far
if the crow is walking and rolling a flat tire). That would be Lovewell State Park (454 slips and a 4.5 star). The actual monument is another 2
miles northwest. The roads only go north and west, you have to figure out the distance on your own. I learned all about this when I was trying to
arrange a family reunion. Too Late Now.

Now, the population center of the USA is in south east Missouri. Not that far from New Madrid. (Remember 1815 earthquake). The census does this
calculation and it has been in Missouri since the 1980s.

What we could do is do as Mary did for GMCES and do a centroid of North American GMCMI members. I don't think we want to include those outside of
North America or that will probably be in a ocean and there won't be any hook-ups and only satellite internet there.
