[ILQSO] county corners

[MEL CRICHTON]

There are very few true 4 county corners in Illinois, (the intersection 
of Hamilton, White, Edwards, and Gallatin is not a 4 county 
intersection. The junction is off by 280 feet)

  but there are a great number of 3-county intersections. And an 
infinite number of 2-county intersections

So the first guy to the 4 county intersection gets 1/3 more points per 
contact than the poor op who set up at a three county corner

I'd recommend  2 or 3 counties, but not four.... Mobiles who stick to 
main highways may never encounter a 3 county corner... they are usually 
found on crappy roads

Those looking for the exact location can buy the DeLorme map book for 
Illinois or get a computer mapper. Google Earth no longer shows county 
lines (a real shame as it was great for scouting out potential parking 
spots)
