Michael,
Congrats on being the first to get pictures of the new
marker. While it may be only a signpost indicating the
tri-point is near by, it is vastly better than what we
had before. I would like to use the tower picture in my
book in place of the tree by the fence line, but I need
some more info.

I can't clearly make out the dates on the sign. When
Geo. Washington surveyed 1769? Also boundary between
Spain and US from 1795? until 1821?

Next, how far south of the tower is the Florida State
Line sign shown in one of the pictures? That would seem
to indicate that the tower is several yards into Alabama.
Is the latitude of the State line sign where you think
the tri-point should be?

Also, how much farther south of the State line sign
is the new 8 ft fence which terminates by the stump of
the tree we used to consider to be the tri-point?

Finally, do you have any route suggestions you are willing
to share to help others get there?

Jack
