"What is America?"

The geographic center of the United States is in Lebanon, Kansas, about fifteen miles from the Nebraska border. If you count Alaska and Hawaii, it's in South Dakota, but that seems wrong. The geodetic center (adjusting for curvature) is also in Kansas, about 44 miles south of the geographic center.

The group recently moved the plaque about 20 miles to its rightful location. In a cornfield, by a FerrisWheel, a Water Tower marked 'Ka' and an old shack with a windmill marked "Gale". See Session13.
