nice work peter
this is truly huge to behold & contemplate
& we are now well on our way to covering the whole world


my most pleasant surprise was to see a pair of twins indicated for
moldova romania ukraine

i wonder do you mean by this 1 continental one & 1 within the black sea

& if so
is this latter point the only maritime tp on the list
or are there others you may be aware of
either already on the list or eventually needing to be added

i know it is a messy area & a messy bunch of questions
nor do they need responses now

i am also researching & following a hot lead in this area & will report
anything i find



also in your earlier message
it was very gratifying for me to learn of your many successes

man i almost even share that south american one with you

i remember i had to skip right past the iguazu falls at close range because
rides were so hard to come by around there in 1967

& this wonderful tp game hadnt even occurred to me yet back then either
so it was a classic case of youth having been wasted on the young

as you must know
& others can see at http://www.info.lncc.br/wrmkkk/amap1.jpg
the main roads run by only a few miles away from the tp



hey are you sure you dont have a few asians & africans stashed away in
reserve there too tho


in any case it does seem i am right in considering you the king of kings
at least until someone with more multinationals in the bag shows up

frankly i doubt such a person exists in reality tho

like have you ever bumped into or heard of any other serious candidate in
the world class

i certainly havent

i know jesper mentioned he may have heard someone may have written a book
about european tripoints like jacks book of american ones
but somehow i imagine such a person &or book if real would have surfaced by now



it pleased me also to learn from you that my westquaistrasse & navigation
channel guesses were right on at basle

i imagine
even if a marker buoy on the exact tripoint spot is precluded for being a
shipping hazard
it would still be possible to specially decorate the closest existing
navigational buoy to the tripoint in the adjacent waters of each of the 3
countries
so as to help visitors & photographers focus quickly on the exact spot &
then scurry out of the way before the next run of barges blows thru etc

anyway hitting & running like hell in between river traffic like that is
how we did a few tps here



well
in every case thanxx to you & all for making such a zany discussion however
desultory even conceivable
for i feel the good stuff is just beginning to flow
