High Points Continued
Again, we continued on our High Point quest.
This time we scaled Hoosier Hill, the high point of Indiana at 1257 ft. It is located on private property about 50 ft from the road. We temporarily parked the coach in a truck stop that was within about 10 - 15 miles.
We next (later in the same day as Indiana) conquered Campbell Hill, the Highest point in Ohio at 1549 feet. This site is located in the campus of Ohio High Point Vocational school at Bellefontaine, OH. It was once a Nike missile site.
On our way home now, we bagged Hawkeye Point at 1670 feet, the High Point of Iowa. This is located in northwestern Iowa in a farm yard. Yes! we had permission. Approaching Hawkeye Point we passed through the city of Okoboji, IA and an area called the Great Lakes of Iowa. It was a water wonderland and clearly, one of those "secret" treasures that are unknown to the rest of the country.
Next at 5424 feet was Panorama Point, the High Point of Nebraska. This site is also located on private property, about 15 miles from I 80. They requested $3.00 per person for access. We didn't pay for Riley. This site is also located within about two miles of the tri-state marker showing the boundary for Nebraska, Colorado, and Wyoming. We again parked the coach at a truck stop along I 80 in Pine Bluffs, WY. We then proceeded to Cheyenne, WY to spend the night.
