Michael,

Do I understand correctly that the njnyus point is at the intersection of the nj-ny line

and the red line at the edge of block 492. If so I got coordinates as follows:

N 40deg 29' 32", W 73deg 54' 09" which is slightly different from your calculation

However, viewing from the QE2 at a distance, we won't be able to tell the difference!

I also checked out the Shenendoah source on Topozone and found that the spring,

at about 3870 ft. appears to be the highest water. Coordinates N 38deg 26' 46",

W 79deg 36' 14" at the spring. The trail from the picnic area on road 85 should

provide easy access to the spring. In contrast, the highest point on Briery Branch

is about 3560 ft. and it shows as intermittent for some distance down it's course.

Have a good hike!

Jack

jack thank you very much & delighted we can be together this way on our distant journeys i think elephants & other giants do this too with ultrasound & such the coords of njnyus lovingly hand cobbled from the only credible map i can find http://www.topozone.com/map.asp?z=18&n=4483585&e=590032&s=200 not a bad map for orientational use also i would say are n lat 40 deg 29 min 28 sec & decimal 069 w long 73 deg 54 min 01 sec & decimal 071 tho only the integral degminsecs are likely to be reliable perhaps you can gauge them better using your formats tho than i can with my primitive toys alone let me also hasten to correct my mention of the 5 oclock direction in the previous message below i meant to say the 7 oclock direction at that point you can tell my clocks are rusty m > > michael, can you give me approx coordinates for njnyus? > Hopefully we will set sail enough before dark to be able to see > something.
