Butler County, Kansas
January 8, 2017
Jobe Wymore

On my recent trip to Mississippi, I had a day to burn so decided to drive to Kansas. Yeah, that wasn't a typo.

I'd just completed the few I needed in Mississippi, and with nearly 5 hours left of daylight I decided to hit the road finally bedding down in Jonesboro, Arkansas. With my room secured at Super 8, I went out to see what raging nightlife Jonesboro had to offer. To my dismay I found out that it was located in a "dry county" so a quick turnaround it was. I went to bed thirsty.

MapQuest showed I had about 7 hours of driving in front of me to reach Butler County, in Kansas. I'd zeroed in specifically on Butler County since its 2 areas are not only the highest in the county but also the most isolated spot in the whole state coming in with a whopping 91.72 miles of isolation per Peakbagger.

I'm kinda working on a little list which I've named The USA 50x50x50, which is the the highest point in every state, the most isolated point in every state and the most prominent point. As far as I can tell Bob Packard, is the only one 1 to have done this. Maybe one day if I'm lucky Greg Slayden, will immortalize it.

But before charging out to Butler County contact had to be made with the owner, Pete Ferrell. I'd contacted him last year about heading out but he politely denied my request due to calving taking place in April, the weekend of my arrival. No worries, I had backup options. This time around when I called he said "any weekend in January would work" but when I floated possibly getting there in March, he said that he "hadn&#39;t gotten the grass schedule laid out yet" so wasn't sure if that was going to work.

By grass schedule I guess he meant he rotated his cattle across his vast expanse of property and didn't want anybody in there irritating them? I didn't ask and really it didn't matter cause I had good weather, one free day and a rental with unlimited miles.

I made good time rolling into Beaumont, KS, around noon since I had an early start. See, I tossed and turned all night in that Super 8 since I didn't have my customary 3 pints before going to bed. Being wide awake I hit the road way before sunrise.

Now Beaumont wasn't quite what I had imagined and really I'm not sure what I thought it was going to be like but it wasn't this. Mr. Ferrell had told me on the phone that he'd "let the others know I was going to be in the area" but I saw nothing, not a soul. The main drag was quiet and not one person was out as I slowly drifted through town. Even after passing through and climbing the slight rise towards the high point nobody was seen. The wind was blowing pretty good up there and my rental was kicking up massive amounts of dust on that dirt road announcing my arrival in grand fashion. Nobody came.

The wind not only helped my dust plume along but also helped churn the wind farm that adorned his property. I reached the spot where I needed to turn left to get to the high point areas and found he has a nice steel entrance with his name on it. I passed through feeling this high point was about to be Martinized. Surprisingly I was immediately greeted by about 50 head of cattle? Again, previously on the phone he said my March visit was iffy since he hadn't had his grass schedule laid out yet? I'm confused.

Topo maps show 2 small areas in contention for the high point with minimal separation. When you get there you'll see there's clearly only one high point area, that being the northernmost one. I got out of my car, stretched my legs, walked around a bit, had the wind fluff up my hair and called it good. One day closer to peakbagging retirement.

Next stop, a brewery to get 6 pints making up for the 3 I missed out on yesterday.

Most EPIC list (50X50X50)

My non-COHP'ing friend Chad Erickson and I started that quest once our state highpointing bet was winding down a few years back. He dubbed it The Most EPIC of the US list (Elevation, Prominence, Isolation and then the C we could never figure out what it should stand for).

He made a logo but the only photo of it I can find is the one he took after he got poison ivy scars going through some midwest prom point.

Right now, we have it on our personal life lists since Greg doesn't have it as a category on peakbagger. But, now we know Bob has done it, you're going for it, and I mentioned it to Dave on the way down from Granite Peak last year so now by default he will have to go for it too. That makes 6 people already so that's a large crowd :) Whatever the name, this should be a category on peakbagger for more convenient filing purposes

Re: LiDAR for Franklin FL / New Area Found

TL;DR

Add following to page 41 of COHP book for Franklin COHP:

1 area 1/2 mile south of Lake Morality
52+ 22-7S-4W Carrabelle 1981

This is at:
listsofjohn.com/mapf?lat=29.8656&lon=-84.6312&z=16&t=u&d=r
The new LIDAR area is about 100 yards south of here.

(Andy Hatzos)
I recently looked at LiDAR for Franklin County, Florida, and found a new
area that appears is the highest point in the county.

http://www.thegreatzo.com/cohp/lidar/counties/fl/franklin/

There are four original areas (one by itself in the eastern part of the
county, three clustered in Lanark Village) which, at their highest,
check out to about 55 feet. The new area is north of US-98 near
Carrabelle, and gets as high as 57 feet (29.86479 N, 84.63078 W, WGS84).
I also looked at a couple other spots in the county over 50 feet, but
they didn't end up higher than the others.

(Andy M)
Your new HP finding points out a "bust" in the
original list. Attached shows a blow up of the
Carrabelle 1981 quad.

There are possible 16 meter (52') and even
18 meter (59') contour contour lines drawn
in a very ugly manner.

Unfortunately these are maybe 100 yards north of your
LiDAR area. But adding another listing to "the book"
will at least get folks in the right area. New listing is

1 area 1/2 mile south of Lake Morality
52+ 22-7S-4W Carrabelle 1981

Also attached is Carrabelle 1944 quad, which
shows 3 areas of 50'+ to visit, and the current
online National Map, which shows no areas over 50'.
So in 72 years of mapping "progress" we have gone backwards
as far as the FL peakbaggers are concerned ;)

If the attachments don't make the egroup post and you
want to see them contact me at oldadit@gmail.com
