hey me too
but i hitchhiked to every country in america before i was 25
& before 38 to every state but hawaii
to which i flew coach

i am still trying to hitchhike to hawaii

the bahamas & many west indies were easy that way
so why not hawaii
i dont know

i know
i know
i wish i had been conscious of this game in 1966 67

i might have bagged a dozen trinationals that year

yes
bills picture is right on
& i also have visited the same boundary but a bit west of where he was
in fact right on the beach at imperial beach ca
where the look & smell of raw sewage are rampant in the surf
& signs of dont eat the mollusks etc around here baby assault you from all
sides
& a berlin wall to shame the berlin wall glowers all along the beach as far
as the eye can see landward & quite a distance into the ocean as well

what is so interesting to me in all this tho is that there actually is an
international medley tridivisional point right there at the south side of
the berlin wall exactly 20 meters east of the high tide line

this is the point where the mexican near equivalent of canadas crown waters
which i would call mexican federal coastal waters & littoral combined
meets the facing states of california & baja california norte

the tripoint is however not visible but only imaginable from the united
states & it actually requires a trip into mexico at bills border checkpoint
or beyond to approach & behold this strange but legally real international
point mxus2cabcmx

i dont recommend it unless you are the sort to go for the dirty disgusting
nasty sort of job that nobody wants but somebodys got to do

wait
are you absolutely sure of that

are you certain there are no maritime tripoints like dedkse dknose
dicknose that is to much
dedknl dkgbno
nor quadripoint dedkplse
nor quintipoint dedgbknlno

are you absolutely certain

none of these probabilities can be dismissed out of hand

there may even be some members who could resolve these questions for us
without delay

but i am not ready to write denmark off for a multinational

in fact i would be willing to bet you a plug of the currencies of all 7
countries potentially involved here that there does already exist at least
one danish multinational point a short cruise from your home


Until six days ago there were
>only one border, not there is two with the bridge to Sweden.

only one land border
now one land border plus one bridge border
& of course bridge borders such as this are essentially maritime anyway
so the idea of this & other maritime borders converging into multipoints
somewhere or other & yet not normally shown on maps because they are
slightly esoteric & not very real to the average landlubber is not so
unthinkable

but do you know where your national boundaries actually end
& how hard would it be for you to somehow ask your government for an
official answer to this question

perhaps it even has a book like our american bible

i know canada does
& i would love to see that one too btw

but i am not going to just sit here & let you just presume your country out
of all its potential or actual maritime territory as if it were the virgin
islands or scandinavia or something

anyway
more fish to fry
or dont you agree
