@dougie

That is photoshopped. Isn't it?

Extra points if you can tell me where this is?ÿ

@holy-cow

That is not occupying a monument, that is mounting a monument. ??¯

@a-harris

That's a photo straight from a couple of sites I googled for that particular corner.  You couldn't pay me enough to try to do what that guy is doing.  One slip and you wouldn't be able to work for six months.

I've been there too, three times...but here is the SW corner of Missouri about 50 or so miles south. Stone on top of that monument was the original corner set by Joseph C. Brown. Modern corner is across the street set by MO DNR seems to not agree with a local.

@holy-cow

All of these pictures, of corners of states, are nice; but what about monuments memorializing great places of early settlement? The photo I posted commemorates the 1853 site of Camp Montgomery, along the Naches branch of the Oregon trail.

Do all y'all have monuments like this?

Dougie

Does nobody know where this is?

@dougie

Does photo #1 count?  Can't get any earlier settlement than #3 anywhere near here.  For those who continue, #4 may be upsetting.

Saw this online a week or so ago, and remembered the post.?ÿ It was online so I guess it's real.

Wife and I were here yesterday:

I had a small job nearby, so she joined me and we stayed over an extra day to get a little hiking in.?ÿ It was an easy 5 miles to this spot, which is near a nice lake.
