+Jimmy B Posted May 29, 2003 Share Posted May 29, 2003 Can anyone tell me where the Stratobowl is located? The best an internet search has given me is to says it is south of Rapid City, SD. This was a created name given to an area used from the 30's to 50's to launch high altitude manned balloons. Quote Link to comment
+phantom4099 Posted May 29, 2003 Share Posted May 29, 2003 Well I don't know if this is correct, but mapsend topo gives a location of "strato Rim overlook campground" at 43°58.83'N 103°20.52'W. Delorme list it as 43°58.604'N 103°20.739'W. Wyatt W. The probability of someone watching you is directly proportional to the stupidity of your actions. Quote Link to comment

+Nomads For Now Posted June 1, 2003 Share Posted June 1, 2003 I've heard of it, but I'm not sure where it is. I've heard it's hard to find. I'd check the SD Air & Space Museum (In Box Elder). I belive they have an 'exhibit' about it. Quote Link to comment
+Nomads For Now Posted June 1, 2003 Share Posted June 1, 2003 After a little more research, I found it! It is just NE of Rockerville, SD. (Or SW of Rapid City.) Here's the MapQuest link- http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?latlongtype=decimal&latitude=43.9792&longitude=-103.34353 Quote Link to comment
+Dakota Ladybug Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 Yahoo map & driving directions also a good map. Type in Rapid City, SD to Stratosphere Bowl, SD and there you have it. It's a pretty cool place and there was a cache hidden up there. Might still be. Quote Link to comment
