Continuing my plans for an eastern business trip I decided to see if I can pick off Allegany County as I drive from PA to WV. I had previosuly claimed this county but a court decision changed shifted the county line westward. Jurisprudence robbed me! I guess Spooky Mike was prescient when he bagged this one early on. Woohoo Mike! Got the winning Powerball number handy?

I have processed the LiDAR for the sites and based on my results Sampson Rock is the clear winner. The LiDAR ties almost exactly to the nearby BM. The two other points to the south are 12' and 17' lower than Sampson Rock. Given the differential in elevations I think one could comfortably visit Sampson Rock and ignore the southernmost points.

I would point out that the statewide map on the COHP website still directs to Dan's Rock instead of Sampson Rock.

Enjoy y'all.

WOOT! Thank you Doug and Mike. I had removed my claim even though I have gotten to the top of the rock since I wanted corroboration that the southern points were lower.

Keep in mind that there is still possible access issues here (especially during hunting season) and that summit block is damn awkward.
