Delaware: Ebright Azimuth

So while in Washington for a January meeting I remembered I had yet to pass by Delaware's highpoint - Ebright Azimuth. SO I took the drive from Washington DC over to visit some old historic sites connected to Sweden, like the Old Swedes church in Wilmington, Kalmare Nyckel shipyard etc.

And also the Delaware highpoint, which as it stands might be the least remarkable high-point in the nation. GPS location and directions are essential especially if driving in the dark, it has no significant prominence so you cannot easily locate it as the highest point in the general area... 



It has a bench, a nearby standing sign describing the location, and if searching carefully, a USGS marker nearby the walking path.


I somehow forgot to post this update and change the completed points to 47/50 but better late than never!
