thanx brian
& here for an ellicott encore are the first known pix of 21st century alflga

the monument is really just a glorified signpost towering above the
chattahoochee bluff for the benefit of river traffic & is in fact a great
challenge & peril to photographers
who must risk falling backwards over the bank to get a decent shot

the degminsec latitude proclaimed is several seconds off
& it isnt clear whether the monument is intended to be the tripoint marker
per se
or only a witness to the tripoint
which is actually set by statute at the high water mark on the bank of the
river
a position which lies several feet away from the base of the monument both
vertically & horizontally

but here are 3 pix of the new & one of the old alflga
which latter you may even recognize as the frontispiece of the old corner
corner

note that the tree is now just the stump
