I think my nerdiness was on full display today.
Amanda and I went to the exact center of the northern half of the western hemisphere which lies on the 45th parallel and 90th meridian. Basically that means its the halfway point between the equator and the north pole (and it happens to be the halfway point between Greenwich, England and the International Dateline). There are 4 points in the world where the 45th and 90th meet - the one in Wisconsin is the most visited because 2 are in the middle of the ocean and one is in a remote area of China.
The marker the county put up
Me in front of the sign!
Yep, thats right. It is in the middle of nowhere in the middle of a bunch of corn fields. The sign was placed along the road side and its not at the true location - that is about 1000 feet East in the corn field....but it was still fun!
Too cool!
