As described in previous reports, hike north on the A.T. from Bootens Gap,
just south of milepost 55. Dale Millsap's cairn can be spotted to the right of the
trail without a GPS, if you watch carefully. My GPS led me directly to the
rock and gave me the identical reading as Dale's. That rock has to be less than
twenty feet from the tri-county point/county highpoint. Looking downhill from
there in the directions of the county lines, I believe Dale nailed the highpoint.
There are no candidate rocks in the few feet north of the cairned rock, and no
candidates as you head downhill. The one adjacent rock of comparable size is
lower. Bottom line -- the cairn sits on the true county highpoint, as long as
the rock isn't just north of the tri-county point and thus not in Green County,
in which case the terrain just to the south would contain the tri-county point.
