AL/GA/FL TRIPOINT UPDATE!
The news is good...

Our too-laid-back HP Club man in Alabama, Gary White, a proven Southern Gentleman, has successfully made contact with the Florida landowner and established the criteria for achieving this tri-corner.

Mr. Ansley Whatley is graciously open to this site's visitations based on hunting season dates. The access window is set between the end of April and October 15th. He asks that ample/advance visit plans are sent via his e-mail address answhat@aol.com. Do not, otherwise, attempt to access this tri-point site via the Chattahoochee State Park.

While, the landowner recognizes the significance of this post as importantly historical, and is agreeable to access wishes, please show respect and appreciation for Mr. Whatley's willingness to welcome visitors.

This maxim, of course, applies to all highpointing pursuits and other club spin-off activities where landowners are a factor. And, while we really are a bunch of incurable eccentrics, always try to behave as if you're closer than you are to the summit of the bell curve, i.e., "normal."

Although we never got to bag a new tri-corner and picture on our trip (maybe next year), this really neat state-intersect sign on the west bank of the Chattahoochee River, is mounted atop a post, and faces the river.

A dedication ceremony was held 21Jan00 by Voyage of Discovery, Inc., (VOD), in cooperation with the U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Historic Chattahoochee Commission, Dothan Landmarks Foundation, and other groups.
