Florida's true highpoint

Thought this would certainly be of interest to the group. Based on LiDAR information detailed by Andy Hatzos and the late Adam Helman, the actual highest ground in Walton County and the state of Florida actually lies in the patch of woods west of the traditional highpoint, in what seems to be part of the county park. I hadn't seen any accounts of anyone actually visiting this spot, so I wrote up a trip report on peakbagger, which can be seen below. A picture of the summit area has been included.

Most of the rest of the trip was a flop. Made it up Woodall Mountain, but plans to do the candidates for Mississippi&#39;s other two ranked summits were scrapped due to hunting season. This, combined with the truly horrible weather here, unfortunately meant literally no other summits on my wishlist in the southeast were worth attempting on this trip.

Perhaps the State Highpointers Club could work with the state to note the true point, cut a trail to it, and put at least a minimal marker there. Dave C., John M, and Don H., you can thank me later for suggesting dumping this in your laps.

The 15' quad shows the HP well away from the road and I went there in the '90s

Like DE and In the HP club is willing to fudge a few feet to make trivial peaks even more so
