If averaging the lats and logs is the best-correct of the 3 methods of
finding the center spot AND if my 2am calculations are correct, that
puts the center of the Newest~North of Ansteorra only in the borders
of Oklahoma by less than 5 miles, being barely north of the Red River.

HMMM !

Every moment within the SCA is a precious gift. A precious gift
wherein we might create the memories of every lifetime. Every lifetime
of happiness and joyful memories is The~Dream!
