As we walked around the Port Huron area, we passed a sign.
It mentioned that we were exactly on the 43rd Parallel.
OK, fine. What does that mean?
Well, after reading the different pieces of information, I learned a lot. It actually has a website with larger images, HERE.
It places my Son's area of Michigan in the Oswego New York area, on the 43rd Parallel. He tried to tell me this several years ago, but who knew he was right?
By the way, the precise location of the sign is: 43 0' 0" N, 82 25' 28.6" W.
Very cool information and it opens up some stories about how we split our states (I'm talking to you, Nebraska and South Dakota).
