Tri-State Corner

I was traveling home from Kansas the other day on US166 and when I came through Baxter Springs, I decided to make a little detour.  Just after I crossed into Missouri, I went through the roundabout and headed right toward the Downstream Casino!  Hold it! Hold it!  I didn't go to the casino...I have better sense than that.  Just a few hundred feet from the roundabout, there is a gravel road leading south with a little sign on the stop-sign which says, "3 State Marker".  I headed down this gravel road to the monument shown below.  As shown on this monument, it represents the point at the southeast corner of Kansas and the northeast corner of Oklahoma, on the west line of Missouri.  The next few pictures are self explanatory.

This was the only sign left on the stone marker.  Vandals had torn the other off.

Looking north along the line between Missouri and Kansas.  Missouri on the right and Kansas on the left...Hmmmm...

The photographers were taking too long so I had to sit down.

The Photographers...

These buffalo are in a field with a pipe fence, along the south side of the entrance to the casino.  The ones in this picture were in a corral on the west side of the gravel road to the "3 State Marker".
