> Mike, doesn't that "black dot" on the top of the old ctmany monument
>resemble the infamous laorospo blue dot? Bill
hahaha
well i dont know
laorospo was orange by the time i got there
but there is a possibility of a center dimple here
the old rocks are just so rough hewn that it is hard to tell if dimpling
was ever intended
but hey
as for getting it right down to the millimeter
these guys were lucky if they got within a mile of their target coords
