How far are you from the nearest McDonalds??

One day this guy Stephen wondered how far away from McDonalds you could actually get in the US (lower 48 to be precise). Then he made this map. The whole story is here.

Here's your answer:

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!

So, you'd have to go to South Dakota to find the "McFarthest Spot."

Another fun fact? There are over 13,000 McDonald's restaurants in the US, or about 1 for every 23,000 Americans.

As my friend Russ pointed out - because the Golden Arches are so ubiquitous, we simply never had a chance. I very rarely hit McD's (have gone years without eating at one!), but every once in a while, just have to do it. So, if your weakness is Big Mac's, perhaps you come by it honestly! Somehow this new knowledge makes me feel better about being such a sucker for McNuggets.
