27-Apr-2024 -- After a night of hammock camping at Cimarron River Campground (amazed we found trees!) we packed up and headed southwest through Elkhart and over to the tripoint of Kansas, Colorado, and Oklahoma. We lingered for 15 minutes at the commemorative structure and marker in the road. We then backtracked two miles eastward, parking southwest of the confluence in a pull-off meant to service oil and gas equipment.

It was 9:14am and 55°F when we set out on foot northward along a farm road and then clockwise around a fallow irrigation circle. No fences. At the confluence, which lies in the scrub just beyond the circle, we took the pictures and stood in silence for a minute, the only sounds the dull thrumming of an oil well somewhere and the distant mooing of cows to the east. An inspiring morning. We were back at Walter’s truck at 9:54pm. Onward to the next border confluence due east.
