Yep. Good point.
I think some people don't realize how large our country is. Amherst and Moscow may seem equally distant from, say, Statesboro, but there's a whole lot more United States to cover to get to Idaho and than Massachusetts.
Its more about how we are laid out geographically. The Northeast is a much smaller strip of land than the Northwest is...meaning it is always far easier to travel Northeast than Northwest.
One way to look at it is that while Arkansas would appear to be near the center of the US because of its proximity to the Mississippi River. The reality is the Geographic Center of the US is in Lebanon, KS, which is really close to the Nebraska State line.
