(OH-) Indiana - Hoosier Hill

Indiana's highpoint Hoosier Hill is actually overrated to even be called hill in the context of a high point. In a very flat state with slowly varying contour lines it's far from obvious which point might actually be the highest in the state.


Finding it is fairly straightforward due to helpful roadsigns, and the fact that the place is only a few steps away from a minor county road. However the last sign was down, and I had to pass twice to realize the small inconspicuous turnout was the right place. 


I would like to rate the difficulty of this highpoint as a record low 1/10, but the lack of the last sign and the fact that there was some sort of odd "fruit" falling from the trees nearby, and had one of those hit a person on the noggin I think it would be close to a coconut incident:
No incidents though and the second highpoint of that day was cleared...
