Found while at the virtual geocache. Logged my first benchmark.

Easy to find when there is a virtual tied to it

Found it!

Saw it. Very cool

Visiting the virtual cache here.

At the Benchmark

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

This is my first benchmark to log. txgo4fan and I were headed to GW 14er and made a short detour to log the virtual cache at this location. This benchmark was an added bonus.

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.

I was with Bmars on our long trip.

Found while on a long counties run. 880 miles and about 46 caches.

Found/recovered in good condition. Easily accessible and on top of a pedestal, it is above grade and visible from a distance away. The witness post, provided by Oklahome DOT is in good condition as well.

Found while doing the Texhomex virtual geocache.

My shovel wasn't up to digging out the real marker, but the protruding one looks more impressive, anyway.

Found this benchmark while we were geocaching on vacation.

Was reminded on 27 Aug 2017 that we had found this, when a memory popped up on Facebook. At the time, we did not know we could log benchmarks. Better late than never ;-)

Benchmark denoting 3 state boundaries

Visiting Oklahoma, Texas and New Mexico

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 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

Benchmark GL 1435

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.
