& doesnt the peculiar assertion
in http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/nycodes/c111/a4.html
that the njnypa tri state monument is marked by
a crow foot
rather strongly suggest that this lineal trijunction
symbol atop the marker
http://img.groundspeak.com/benchmark/lg/9fc72f51-d816-4ec0-941e-ace13ad15eef.jpg
is at best purely fanciful & decorative
& at most only vaguely & sketchily illustrative
rather than
a necessarily true portrayal depiction & simulacrum of
the actual trifinial convergency it celebrates

i mean
maybe we have just been taking
a l l
the lines on this marker way too literally
& attributing far too much intention & significance to
them

so nice joke on us
thats all



& of course i still dont doubt the tripoint position
the monument marks is correct
& very likely the njny alignment shown along with it
tho at this point
now that we have utterly busted one & severely
challenged the other of this crowfoots 3 toes
i dont think we dare take anything but the disk center
point really for granted


& since it certainly does appear now that this
undoubtedly exact tripoint marks the meeting place not
simply of the 3 states but actually of the njpa condo
territory with the 2 separate states of nj & ny
& perhaps by chance even a suitably low water mark too

or at least not too high a water mark
then its quite peculiar if not unique name
tri states monument
begins to make a little more sense now too
for the monument does at least celebrate all the 3
states
& a corner of all their 3 jurisdictions
even if it doesnt actually mark their simple & literal
& singular tristate point

seeing as they appear to produce & enjoy & have no
such simple thing as that



but instead
it appears
this presumptive nj&njpa&ny or njnjpany tripoint turns
out to be one of a close pair
& indeed the dry & marked nonidentical twin of its wet
unmarked njpa&ny&pa or njpanypa mate
which 2 together stand at opposite ends of the njnypa
triline

the other end being where the njpa condo territory
meets the states of ny & pa
at midchannel on a true prolongation of true njny thru
the marked njpanjny tripoint
as previously observed


& a 3rd point of interest for the condo here in the
greater njnypa area falls where this extension of njny
would presumably continue on to the low water mark on
the far side or right bank of the delaware river

i mean here at the red cursor cross position roughly
http://topozone.com/map.asp?z=18&n=4578544&e=525389&s=25&size=s&datum=nad83&layer=DRG25

for this is the probable nw corner of the presumptive
njpa condo
if not also
for that reason & in that special sense
the true nw corner of nj

& it is a dry point at low water just like the tri
states monument location but not likely marked

tho yikes what a coup if a njpa condo corner mark were
to be found there


i do know the corresponding sw & se condo corners at
denjpa are both marked
or rather witnessed by markers from higher ground
along the arc line
tho only by depa & denj markers respectively
& not by any indicator of njpa that i saw

so dont hold your breath for a nw corner marker either
but its worth a check insofar as the ne corner is so
nicely marked


& since the 2006 bp multidimensional inaugural tour is
slated to begin today only about 10 miles farther down
the road from there
on pennsylvania state route 2006
& it has already been daylight here for hours
i am off both multipointing & inaugurating as soon as
i post this

provided i can get up my driveway & down cream hill

which are now under several inches of fresh whiteness

so beebeeps & wish me luck

& a multiple 2006 to one & all
