ghost boundaries are too kewl duud

i have been chasing a couple of local ones myself for some years now
without any so called success

they are the mileposts of the ghost elbow of the 1731 ctny oblong
& the original 1787 many mileposts
which are different from the contemporary ones owing to a truncation of the
line in 1853 & also to changes in the length of the mile itself

either of these lines may contain valuable clues about the true length of
the colonial & federal mile
which is one of the great unsolved mysteries of american multipointing

& dont be silly
or rather do be silly

failure is the better half of success
in the game of pointedly pointless points

search
research
it is all the same

in fact i find it is usually more fun to handicap or dumb myself down
just to repeat & prolong the pleasure of the chase
