It reminds me of the inmioh tp.  I wonder how many tripoints are located in the middle of a working road?

i just realized also that there are some extremely thin but still real
obelisks in many places along the caus & mxus lines

& http://ksphototour.8m.com/meridian.htm may save you a trip to the scanner
jack  for the quintiobelisk
tho a better pic of the novel quintipyramid at the top of this monument if
you have one would still be a real thrill to see
