Good plan. What’s going to be neat is when we see people from:
Bellingham, WA
Tijuana, CA
Caribou, ME
join with the one(s) from Key West
so we can see how much leeway there really is in the “center of the Lower 48” concept.
1569.8 miles from Portland Oregon.
199.8 miles. We might as well round that up to 200.
If baker stays out of this thread I might be the winner.
From SJ, CA to Lebanon, KS: 1610.7 miles, 22 hrs 4 min.
269.5
688.7 miles 10 hrs 13
I figured “why wait?” so here are some max distance readings:
====================================
A Bellingham, WA
B Lebanon, KS
Mileage 1732.2 miles Time 1 day 1 hrs 27 min
====================================
A Caribou, ME
B Lebanon, KS
Mileage 2048.7 miles Time1 day 6 hrs 43 min
====================================
A Chula Vista, CA
B Lebanon, KS
Mileage 1440.5 miles Time 21 hrs 7 min
====================================
A Key West, FL
B Lebanon, KS
Mileage 1854.6 miles Time 1 day 6 hrs 44 min
====================================
I guess this speaks either to the status of roads or to the measurement techniques in calculating the “center point.”
I had the same thought..but then I decided to do laundry.
But I’m still the furthest for people who actually checked in, I think..
So I have that going for me.

No, you still have me beat. I uses my ZIP code, and entered Lebanon as the ending point. I came up with 203.8.
So MED is still in the lead?
Seems so. Anybody under 200 from there?
Google Maps tells me 24,059 km. But it also suggests 3 kayak trips across the Pacific, via Japan and Hawaii.
1264.7 miles
And 969.5 miles from Plato, Missouri which is the population center of the United States.
Those of you wishing to find my location may now commence triangulating.
89.6 miles for me according to Google.
Holdrege, NE.

You’re the one to beat! How often do you visit Lebanon?
170.7 miles, from Lincoln. Can’t beat Alpha, though.
Mapcrow says 9046mi/14558km. Google maps gives me a 14971mi/24095km route with about 16000km by kayak, but all those toll roads through the Japanese leg are a bit offputting.
14,800 km
You don’t want to be close to Lebanon, KS right now.
