That's like 5 miles from Missouri. Barely made the cut for Illinois not being completely flat, lol.

Drive I-57 once and try and tell me Illinois isn't flat. LOL

Kansas is, mathematically, flatter than a pancake. https://www.aps.org/publications/apsnews/200310/pancake-kansas.cfm

The surface of the earth is smoother than a cue ball as well.
29,000/(5280*25000) gives a pretty small number.
0.0002196 or as that article used the number would be .99978

Small, indeed, but don't forget the surface of the earth also goes to -36,000 ft.

arguably, no. The surface doesn't go that low.
but, I'm not a geologist.
but, this is the interweb, so we get to argue about nothing important.

I was going to argue that the surface of the earth, that is, the solid part, the crust, is sometimes above water and sometimes below water, but it's always there. Then @JOhnH posted and I lost my train of thought.
Here still tomorrow and then head north on Thursday.

Oh well, have fun. If it's not too late I highly recommend Global Gourmet for dinner in Carbondale.

And if one looks at your avatar through the wrong part of one’s trifocals, one can make out a slug.

Illinois is the third flattest state after Florida and Louisiana. Flatter than Kansas which is sixth.

That might be true, but I live in Florida, about a mile from the beach, and believe me, there are plenty that could take her place.As old as that picture is, you probably can't see her thighs anymore.

My “flat” IL front and backyards.
