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.
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!
Stats:
State: Delaware
High point: Ebright Azimuth
Elevation: 448 ft (137 m)
Date: January 13, 2015
Total elevation to date: 259,481 ft (79,090 m)
Access: drive-up
Difficulty rating (of 10): 1
Potential Difficulties: locating it, if dark...
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...
