I've ridden past that marker and wondered about what it is. Would've expected the center of US to be somewhere in Iowa.

 

Posting so I can find latter thanks for the link

 

The geographic center for the lower 48 states is in north central KS near Lebanon. Nice little roadside park and a sign/flag.
The center marker north of Belle Fourche is including Alaska and Hawaii. I don't know how they account for the distance thru Canada or the Pacific.
The marker north of Belle Fourche is a pile of rocks a few feet in a pasture and a flag. Nothing else around it.

 

Try 85S out of Lead to Four Corners 585N to Sundance to 14 out to Devils Tower, did that last year during the rally to get away from the traffic. Nice ride with little traffic till you get past Sundance. There's a HD shop in Sundance that's great if you need an oil change done without waiting in a long line like the shops in Sturgis or Rapid City. Has a cool little bar next door you can have lunch in while you wait.

 

Very good suggestions by all. You won't disappointed anywhere you go out there. The only thinkg is it can get pretty warm in the lower elevation so its kind of nice being in the mountains to where its a tad bit cooler

 

Would love to ride over to the Custer Memorial in Montana but its 4 or 5 hrs there making a round trip rather lengthy in one day.

 

The Bad Lands are bad as hell. Ride Spearfish both ways. Heading back towards Spearfish is more scenic in my opinion.

 

ride to wounded knee thru scenic--all day trip--stop in pine ridge at the pow wow

 

we did Big Horns last year wish I would did that years ago!!!great ride some take 2 days we did in 1 its 640 miles round trip over 14 back over on 16 if I remeber the roads right.....

 

been talking about going to look around there last few years. never do it....figured they did not care for us down there so best to stay away....pow wow? really? they welcome outsiders with open arms?
