Center of the Nation

My mom and dad drove from Howard to see us one day. Mom had relatives around Belle so we went to the courthouse and looked up their property records. She found where they lived and will maybe go out there sometime.

When Hawaii and Alaska entered the United States, the geographic center changed to Belle Fourche.


We also drove through Spearfish canyon and through Deadwood. It was still cold! Bridal Veil falls was frozen over (above).
