Found this while caching

RavRobin and I had just found the collocated Virtual cache Texhomex, so we're happy to double dip.

On a mission to find many Texas Counties for the Texas County Challenge and wanted to come to this very unique location. Who could pass up being in three states at once? Texas, oklahoma and New Mexico?

Hook 'em Horns - Three States: Texas, oklahoma, NM

Recovered in good condition. The monument is stable and the mark is in good shape, with a witness post along the fence line. The mark itself is on the field-side of the fence.

Found with KimPossible on a day with 3- three state corners, The Black Mesa hike & Capulan Volcano NM

Found it while visiting the nearby virtual! All is in good shape here! Thanks!

Found in good form.

Will write more at home.
Caching our way to GC30 Mingo. Trying to pick up more counties and a few new states. Well we are now heading toward New Mexico and our second night hotel. We are picking up at least one cache in each county we pass through.

Stopped to find the boarder marker on our way

Me at the marker

Took the day to make a drive to get counties. We covered 880 miles over 18 hours and gathered around 46 caches on the day. That equates to 2.5 caches per hour, and roughly 19 miles between caches. We covered from Fort Collins to Oklahoma, Texas and New Mexico as well. What a full and fun day.

I found this on 11/11/2014 and never logged it. Came back today because I forgot I had already found it.

Recovered again today in good condition - including witness post.

Visiting the virtual cache when I discovered this BM.
This benchmark is still in great shape and is exactly as described.

Everything in good order with this one.

Found it

Got to this benchmark while in three states at once

This benchmark is a virtual geocache. Claiming the benchmark find as well as the virtual find.

Found today

Texhomex marker

It's a cache :-) Found it.

Description needs updating, the old mark may be under this one but this is certainly an official benchmark. (Or do we need a new listing?)

Been to this site in 2010 for the virtual cache that is here. Was not much interested in benchmarks back in those days. Making the claim now.

TexasWriter and I were on the return leg of our honeymoon sight-seeing road-trip when we target the virtual cache here. Yay! Benchmark Bonus!

Our first day of vacation on our way to California geocaching, waymarking, and benchmarking.

Curious that this one has no description or anything, given that it is the demarcation between three states. Quite a nice monument!

Found it

My first OK cache was here! TFTB

Found on my way home.

found with Team Salford and Preferida on a week long trip from NH.

We had a fun time at the monument. This one is in great shape. It was fun to sit on three states at once!

Another tri-state for these junkies - TEXHOMEX!

the marker

the benchmark

GL1435 Texhomex 1931 - On the north side of a witness post about 48.5 feet west of the N/S fence line, Oklahoma Line Hwy, with a cattle guard & on the north side of the E/W fence line on the south side of Texas State Line Road - The marker is about 10 inches below grade - The marker on the south side of the fence is not the correct marker.

Also located Texhomex RM 1. Did not locate Texhomex RM 2.

I have not been able to locate a PID for The Cimarron Meridian that is about 0.15 miles north of Texhomex.

Found on our Oklahoma Run as we were working on the OK Delorme Challenge

Heading to Denver for family, just grabbing some caches along the way.

Found while caching in the area! 2 for 1!!

Out with Corp of Discovery to hit the virtual cache, but I also wanted to nab this mark. I did the research of GC logs to see that it is buried. Well, I started to hand-scoop dirt out of the hole, but decided not to disturb anything. It's important for others to note that the conical monument is not actually TEXHOMEX, and neither is the mark on the east side of the road northbound from this site (we found that one, too).

.

StripeMark deserves a double AttaBoy for a return visit to get the first NON-BOGUS FIND of the real mark here. Too bad that almost no one reads these logs. I particularly like the one that labled their photo "Our proof!".

Found this one while visiting the state corner. It sits on one of the tallest concrete objects in the area... which is less than two feet tall.

found as part of a record day, this is my first benchmark found.
20 of 29 on a personal record day searching with valor75536.
--5 states; kansas, oklahoma, texas, new mexico, colorado
--5 cache per state minimum
--under 500 miles driven
unfortunately ran across two DNF while searching for the last cache to blow our perfect day.

Found while geocaching.

Just like everyone else, found while visiting the tri-point on a trip from Tulsa to Avon, CO.

Found while out geocaching.

Note that this benchmark is 1.6 feet below ground level and actually says TEXHOMEX on it.

Found this with the SKPs along with TEXHOMEX geocache.

First to Find the REAL mark............

Found STATION mark in good condition. 45.5 feet west of a fence corner, 28 feet south of the center of a east-west gravel road, 1.25 feet north of a east-west fenceline, 1.6 feet below the level of the ground, and 1 foot northwest of a metal witness post.

Reference Mark 1 found in good condition 27 feet south of the center of a east-west gravel road, 1.7 feet north of a east-west fenceline, and 0.7 feet below the level of the ground.

Reference Mark 2 was not found. At the location of this reference mark, the metal witness post was located 27 feet west of the center of a north-south gravel road. The ground level 25 feet west of the witness post is now 5.8 feet above the level of the gravel road. This is now the top of an embankment on the east side of a large lagoon.

the mark

Found this BM in good shape while Geocaching. Forgot to log it when we did it. Also found other BM in the area.

still there...

Had to stop by to see the point where the three states meet. After reading the description and the posts below, I am not sure if this picture is the actual benchmark or not. Next time we pass this area, next spring, we will stop to look for the original benchmark as described in the description.

Texhomex

Found this one while looking for a nearby Geocache, Texhomex, that I was unable to get to, even though I could see it in the distance in the middle of a farmer's field. The numbers and words on the Benchmark don't match those listed here, but the coords are exact for them, so I included photos.

Benchmark GL1435

hmmmmm I was going to say "Found It", but after looking at the actual description..... nothing matches!

The last report says that the station mark and RM 1 are 0.1 feet underground.

It also says that the disc should have "TEXHOMEX 1931" stamped on it.

So it actually looks as though, no one has got this one yet!

(dang, why do I catch these things after I'm 500 miles away!)

[Photos:]

NOT TEXHOMEX

also NOT TEXHOMEX

Thought about going here for some time. Finally got the coordintes and came to stand in three states. Disk is slightly defaced, but readable.

A pretty interesting marker, at the corner of nowhere.

I'm one of DQDude's Caching Babes in the pic below. We thought we were going to get lost hunting this one down.

Good shape, set it a conical concrete pillar. Digital picture is upside down, didnt want to cross fence onto property to get a right side up picture. Big country with a veiw of Capulin.
