I agree that the title is somewhat misleading, although why someone would expect to see a roster of completers of the state highpoints on a Web site devoted to county highpointing is beyond me.  I am unable to access the site to make changes, so I have e-mailed Andy Martin for assistance.

 Hello,
I expected to see a list of the state highpoint completers - the 50 and 48 state highpoint completers. This is a list of people who have completed the county highpoints of the different states - quite a difference I suggest.

trip report Shelby, Ky.

Richard Oestreicher, May 7, 2016

Fellow high pointers! On my trip west I did three Ky. County high points
the last two days (as well as a variety of other p300s): Boyd ,
Franklin, and Shelby. I have nothing to add to existing reportsfor the
first two, but a story of interest for the third.

Shelby County, Ky.Jeptha Knob, May 7, 2016

I found the only trip report listed confusing for this one; the author
mentions an alternate road to the gated main road, but I didn?t
understand what he meant.

I turns out this one is problematic, perhaps that is why only two people
list completions in Peakbagger. From US 60 there is a small sign on the
left ?To Jeptha Knob Road.? I tuned there and found Jeptha Knob Road a
few yards up. It starts as a well-paved road heading for the peak and
changes to well maintained gravel. About 0..3 mi. from the hp
coordinates I ran into a locked double gate covered with signage
threatening trespassers and neer-do-wells with all manner of grievous
penalties including death of your first-born child. Better not go that way!

I retreated to along steep driveway just down from the gate on the left.
I parked at the house on the top and knocked. I was greeted by a
friendly Mrs. Morehouse.I explained county high pointing and asked if I
could park and walk up a forest track that starts in her yard and heads
toward the high point. She had no problem with that.In a couple of
hundred yards the track comes to a clearing with a rolling meadow and a
larger array of equipment than the usual microwave installation. I
wandered the area for a half an hour trying to cover the various
candidates.

As I walked along a gravel road an older man approached with a child on
an ATV. He is the owner of all the land on top of Jeptha Knob including
the high point candidates which he knew about in detail, claiming that
surveys identified four spots all exactly 1188 feet. I doubt that, but
maybe he knows the facts. He allowed me to continue walking but was
clearly irritated at my presence and wanted me to leave s soon as
possible. I showed him my maps and GPS and where I had been already and
hoped he could guide me so I was sure I hit the right spots. He looked
quickly and asserted that I had already touched all four spots, but I
think he just wanted to encourage me to leave as soon as possible. I
explained that Mrs. Morehouse had given me permission to cross her
property, but he stated quite clearly that she had no authority to grant
access. I asked how I could have gotten permission from him, and here is
where we hit Catch 22.His family owns all the land atop the knob
including all the hp candidates that they apparently lease to the cable
company. I had the impression when I encountered him that he was
patrolling the property. His house is behind the massively posted gate
so it is hard to see how anyone could approach him for permission (which
I get the impression would be denied anyway). So even if there is an
alternate road up to the vicinity, there appears to be no legal way to
climb this CHP.

Definitely recommend Mix Canyon like Mihai said unless you have a high clearance vehicle, Gates Canyon has some massive ruts last time I checked, hard to believe it's gotten better. Great views from this diminutive high point if you're there on a clear day. San Pablo Bay and several other county high points visible from the summit.

Has anyone been in the Big Pine Lakes area lately? Hoping to get down there around Memorial Day, curious what the snowpack is like.


Thanks guys,


Matt
