PB took me on an adventure last weekend to the center of the earth.
Or more precisely, the center of the Northwest Hemisphere.
Who knew this remarkable spot was right here in Wisconsin?
I didn’t. Until Saturday.

In case you need to brush up on your Junior High geography, here’s a quick review.

There are only four places on earth where the 45th Parallel Latitude intersects the 90th Meridian Longitude.

• The Pacific Ocean—45°S – 90°W
• The Indian Ocean—45°S – 90°E
• A mountain in China—45°N – 90°E
• Poniatowski, Wisconsin—45°N – 90°W

The only place on all of earth’s 197 million square miles where a person can stand exactly halfway between the equator and a pole and halfway between the prime meridian and the 180th meridian is right here in America’s Dairyland.

We drove north for a couple hours, turned into a farmer’s cornfield, then walked 1/4 of a mile.

PB sure knows how to get to the center of this girl’s heart. He took me on a surprise adventure to a place I’d never been before and we stood on a special spot together that no one else among the world’s 8,045,311,447 people were standing.

It was magical.
A perfect date.

We became official members of the 45-90 Club.

Then we got some lunch and drove home.
It was such a good day!
Life’s an adventure with PB!
