The KS-CO-OK tri-point is wonderful: a magnificent windmill monument, placed on a small knoll on the north side of State Line Road about 8 miles due west of Elkhart. Apparently, this windmill marked the supposed location of the tri-point in 1903, but, as seems to be the case for many of these points, the location of the point moved around over the years. In 1990, the BLM placed a marker directly in the road resembling a sewer person-hole cover. In the photo, Phebe is in Kansas, Nelson is in Colorado, and I am taking their picture while standing in Oklahoma. I got there at a beautiful time – the sun was setting; the point of the monument is a relative high point in the area, so the views, as you can see, were spectacular.

I expect many folks who share my odd interest collect these three tri-points all in one day. My day began about 15 hours and 750 miles before back on the Zuni Reservation, and I slept hard at the El Rancho motel in Elkhart as big severe dry-line thunderstorms rumbled overhead.
