Day 27

Start: Beloit, KS
End: Phillipsburg, KS
Distance today: 98.4
Total: 1876.6

Here's a picture of us at the geographic center of the United States (well, the contiguous 48 states, anyways), just a few miles northwest of Lebanon, KS

There's not much there... This monument, a tiny chapel, and a trailer with a little exhibit about the different 'centers' of the US (the geographic center, the geodetic center, the population center, the google center...)

Of course, you can only get into the trailer if you know the code to the lock, which apparently they told only to the one market in Lebanon. Fortunately, we happened to stop in Lebanon for lunch before going to the center... But for those poor travelers who don't stop by the market, I guess they are out of luck!

Special thanks to Steven and Jane from Illinois who provided a much enjoyed cold beer and company while taking a break at the center!

Ps - if you ever find yourself in north central Kansas, and feel like stopping by the center (which you should!), the secret code to the trailer is 1-2. ;)
