Effingham County High Point Trip Report

I used Jon Mann's excellent report and have this to add:

The exit off I-70 is Exit 82, and CR 200E is signed as 200th St. The drive up the grassy lane is 0.3 mile. This lane is off the county road immediately west of the driveway of the house. Just 30 feet east of the end of this grassy lane is a triangulation marker: Mound 1883, and another one is located at the base of the "stubby tree" and is marked Mound 3 1883.

I spoke to Kenny who was very nice. He knew it was the HP and had a debate with other farmers if it was higher than Fayette County. I gave him a copy of the IL list. He rents the HP land to farm. To honor the Stuckey's which Jon Mann mentions, I bought a pecan log roll.
