Lest you think no one is trying, I spent Friday, March 31 visiting eight county highpoints in Virginia.
Two of those were at tri-county points. 

One of the four highest points of Clark County is at or near the Clark/Fauquier/Warren trifinium.  This is about eight miles north of VA 55, just off secondary route 638.  Unfortunately there is no marker, and GPS must be used to get within twenty feet or so.

The highest point of Greene County is located at the Greene/Madison/Page trifinium, a few feet off the Appalachian Trail, north of Bootens Gap on the Skyline Drive, and a short distance south of the summit of Hazeltop. One of our county highpoint group identified a rock that is very close (less than 20 feet) from the trifinium, as measured by GPS, and placed a cairn atop the boulder.  My GPS verified that the boulder is very close to the trifinium.  I'm too lazy to plow through the archives, but my memory seems to tell me that Mike D. visited this point a couple of years back.
