Important update on Charles Mound, the Illinois Highpoint

As some of you may know, the Illinois highpoint, Charles Mound, is for sale. Given the potential for new owners we are unable to confirm open access dates at this time. We are asking that highpointers do not visit until we can confirm the summer open dates. We will be updating the website as soon as we are able to get confirmation. We unfortunately cannot predict at this time when we may get final confirmation, so please take that into account when making your summer travel plans.

Highpointers have had access to this location on open weekends over the past 21 years, and we have nothing but appreciation and gratitude to Wayne and Jean Weubbels for allowing us access to their property all of these years.

The club hopes to establish a similar agreement with any new property owners. After new owners have had time to move in, we will hopefully be able to work out an agreement with them concerning access and confirm access dates. We ask that everyone respect this private property and all other highpoints on both private and public land.

We wish the Wayne and Jean nothing but the best in their future endeavors, and we hope any new property owners enjoy this special area for many years to come.

The following dates are the Illinois access dates that are pending confirmation:

June 1st-2nd

July 6th-7th

August 3rd-4th

September 7th-8th
