You can put this in the U.S. Highpoints Group yourself (when you edit the page). Why do you persist in having a site moderator do it by posting the request in the Site Feedback --> Mountain Groups thread? You've been a member long enough to know how to do it yourself (you've been told this more than once, I know, because I've told you more than once).



Other than that...

I did it, sorry I forgot, and I will remember from now on. I added a photo as well. What else do I need to do to get a 4 star rating? Thanks.



Oh, I updated Indiana's Hoosier Hill as well. I believe you are the lone person giving me three stars there. I have made improvements.

Klenke, I have added even more to Iowa and Indiana, with photos, links, and information. I am trying to get some maps up there as well. I want to know what else they need for 4 stars? Thanks.

My grandfather was from Iowa. He said that you could hear the corn grow on a summer's night! Could you include some photos of really big maize plants?

Not that I'm planning on this 'peak' but it is valid to many. The page has all the details needed if I was a midwestern HP collector.

One of these days, I am going to do a trip report for that giant hill (with the fire tower) in Yellow River State Forest. Or maybe Iowa's "Pikes Peak" !

Thanks for the vote - I added a section on the forest.

Iowa Desecrates High Point

Seems Iowans are turning their high point into a mini-
fairgrounds, or maybe an Interstate Welcome Center. Please
do all that somewhere else. High Points are sacred
panoramas, hopefully unhindered 360 degrees is available. What
more is needed?? Kansas has a small art-assemblage (kudos).
Neb just a marble plaque & picnic shelter (to watch the buffalo).
Not being remote, Fla has added a rest room to the small
2 acre site (fine, it's on a County Road). Many States cannot do anything as the peak is protected by forest regulations (thank you). Can't wait to find a High Point that is in the parking lot of a Outlet Mall- don't tell me, let me discover it myself. DH

thanks

What a wonderful page you have created here, thanks hgrapid!

I find I spend more time on US State Highpoint pages than I spend on facebook.

Thanks for the kind words

I have done 32 highpoints now. Visit our main Highpoints site on Summitpost. It is a great page.

FYI - Interesting Fact

Iowa has the distinction of being the last US State to officially name it's actual highpoint. I think it was in 1971.
