Hiding From Ronald McDonald

This guy went through the trouble to contact AggData for the geographical location of all 13 thousand McDonald's in the US.

"Why?", you ask.

He wanted to find the point where a person would be the furthest from any McDonald's. He graphed up this map of all McDonald's in the process.



The results of his data mining are a bit depressing.

Between the tiny Dakotan hamlets of Meadow and Glad Valley lies the McFarthest Spot: 107 miles distant from the nearest McDonald’s, as the crow flies, and 145 miles by car!

2 hours! The furthest you can possibly get from a McDonald's in 3.5 million sq miles is 2 hours by car!
