Actually, the tripoint is about .1 mile west of your red crosshairs.
The Barry-Newton line comes down from the north, bisects that forested
tract with "33" it, and intersects the McDonald-Newton line coming in
from the west on the center line of MO 76. The Barry-McDonald line then
follows MO 76 east to your red crosshairs before turning south. Thus,
the western line of Barry has a slight jog, apparently due to the
crossing of a standard parallel. (For those unfamiliar with the US
Public Land Survey, that's a correction for the convergence of
meridians).

Thank you, thank you.

I have done the following class A: ARLATX; KSMOOK; ARMOOK; AZCONMUTand
NMOKTX.

I was there on June 14, 1992. The site was substantially as described
by Jack Parsell from his published visit of June 21, 1991. I was going
entirely without any detailed map or other reference, but I realized
that the tall cairn on the west side of the road was not the tripoint
and that it had to be in the center line opposite the cairn.
