Leaving from the Sharp County highpoint, drive north on Tick Ridge Rd for 0.5 miles to the intersection
with Oregon MO County Road 288, this is the State Line. Go east on Oregon County Rd 288 for 0.2
miles, this is the intersection with Oregon County Rd 257, stay on CR 288. There is a white house on the
south side of the road 0.6 miles from the CR 257 intersection. The road begins to go downhill with a
muddy area at the bottom, it wasn't too bad, but it hadn't rained in a while either.
A locked gate is reached 0.3 miles from the white house. The property is posted, with a sign that reads
'No Trespassing for any purpose', so I went back the white house to ask for permission. They told me they
did not own the property, but told me who did own it.
I followed the gravel road in past the gate and found the hunting shack Andy Martin mentioned in his trip
report, but I did not find the coke can register. I walked around the area looking for rocks that could be the
highpoint. I think I found the one. This rock was higher than any other area that I could see, and it stood
about 2 feet above the ground. The rock was about 75 feet west of the hunting shack.
The Lat/Lon for this rock is (36.49590 deg N, 91.40335 deg W).
