in Belle Fourche?

Belle Fourche is the site of the geographic center of the fifty United States. In 1959, the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey officially designated a point 20 miles north of Belle Fourche as the Geographic Center of the United States. It is the center of the nation because of the addition of two states, Alaska and Hawaii, to the United States moved the location of the official center of the nation.

i'm in sturgis, anticipating bike week this coming august...

europe, tully...

I had a feeling Sturgis was going to be the right guess. I want to do that one day soon.

Tul,
is where you are related to Mother's Day?

No, not that I know of...

us?

(hi, Tul. How you doin down there in the country that used to own Texas?)

Yep US.

Doing well, been busy but well. You?

west of the mrs.?

just fine, thank you. Besides normal home and family stuff I've been spending too much time and money on my latest, and final, round of mods to my car and it should be done in another day or two so finally I can drive it again...makes absolutely no sense unless you're a motorhead

West.

I put money into my truck recently. The local station mixed gas with diesel and it made my engine run, umm, I mean not run. The gov. owns all the stations here and they paid for most of the repairs but it also fried my O2 sensor on bank 2 which I replaced myself. So two days of standing in line to get reimbursed, another day running around looking for a replacement sensor and a couple hours of replacing the sensor and I think I'm back up and running.

north of the 40?

I can relate to O2 sensor concerns. Last few years I've been using the relatively expensive NTK sensor since it's mostly impervious to leaded racegas. But this new setup will be injecting methanol/H2O mixture so I can run higher boost on normal pump gas. Money saved is money my kids can spend.

First letters correct... but you're looking for a state park.

Com'on Phil what's my first name?

Ft Stevens is the only place in the cont. US to come under attack from the Japanese during WWII. From Wiki-

Quote:

In what became the only attack on a mainland American military installation during World War II, the Japanese submarine I-25, under the command of Tagami Meiji,[3] surfaced near the mouth of the Columbia River, Oregon on the night of June 21 and June 22, 1942, and fired shells toward Fort Stevens. The only damage officially recorded was to a baseball field's backstop. Probably the most significant damage was a shell that damaged some large phone cables. The Fort Stevens gunners were refused permission to return fire, since it would have helped the Japanese locate their target more accurately. American aircraft on training flights spotted the submarine, which was subsequently attacked by a US bomber, but it escaped.

You're up, go hide.

sorry that took so long; thought you said park...

ok, i'm going to shower and shave and try to come up with some inspirational place to hide...

Ft Steven's is a state park???? I've camped there many times.

dem dirty japs! Now I'm sorry I drive a Toyota! ...actually 2 Toyotas

how's about two and a volvo?

Do you guys have a way of stopping your Toyotas?

Japan seemed to have a 'thing" for Oregon during WWII-

Quote:

Between November 1944 and April 1945, Japan launched over 9,000 fire balloons toward North America. Carried by the recently-discovered Pacific jet stream, they were to sail over the Pacific Ocean and land in North America, where the Japanese hoped they would start forest fires and cause other damage. About three hundred were reported as reaching North America, but little damage was caused. Six people (five children and a woman) became the only deaths due to enemy action to occur on mainland America during World War II when one of the children tampered with a bomb from a balloon near Bly, Oregon and it exploded

The only other mainland attack, that I know of, occurred in SoCal before the war actually started-

Quote:

The United States mainland was first shelled by the Axis on February 23, 1942 when the Japanese submarine I-17 attacked the Ellwood Oil Field west of Goleta, near Santa Barbara, California. Although only a pumphouse and catwalk at one oil well were damaged, I-17 captain Nishino Kozo radioed Tokyo that he had left Santa Barbara in flames. No casualties were reported and the total cost of the damage was officially estimated at approximately $500–1,000. News of the shelling triggered an invasion scare along the West Coast.

See the movie "1942" with John Belushi for further reference.
