WHERE THE HOOSIER, BUCKEYE, & MITTEN STATE MEET
The Indiana, Ohio, & Michigan Tri-Point, In the Bag...

On the way to the late July '07, 20th Highpointers Konvention near Wausau, WI, we bagged this easy tri-point which called for a short detour north from the Ohio Turnpike, I-80/90. Pictured, looking north, the marker is in the lower right corner (road-center), MI in the top right, OH in the lower right, and IN to the left of road-center. All aspects of this tri-corner are as described in Jack Parsell's guide with the exception of the witness marker to the east - the top of this cement post was broken off sometime after Jack's visit in '91.

We accessed the site via Rt120 (Territorial Rd.) in MI and
traveled south on Cope Rd. .8mi where there's an obvious road surface break from gravel to blacktop at the MI/OH state line. Another big clue is the red granite marker on the left shoulder, 130ft (so inscribed) north of the state's tri-junction. The heavy metal plate in the road's center can be removed to expose the 6in deep crypt and the nifty engraved plaque within (pictured).
