thank you peter
so it sounds as tho what you are all feasting your eyes on there is the
earliest known boundary monument still in existence anywhere
whether actually dated on the stone as this one apparently is or otherwise
& no matter that it has been retired & moved
it is still an enormous find by wolfgang
& congrats are definitely in order
dont you all agree
would still love to see what it looks like some day

btw
the empty reservation is evidently the capitan grande
the same one that looked like the elephant seal
both halves of the fragmented mesa grande reservation may also be empty too
& there may be a lost third fragment of it as well
more art in the works
