just wanting to add to my preliminary report on idmtwy that i have also
just selected her 4 journeymate points
& all of these are really ducky too

like it wouldnt be cost effective to go all the way to idaho for a single
tripoint
dont you know

so first
ohpawv or the ohio pennsylvania westvirginia tristate point
is objectively special because it is closely associated with & very near
the point of origin of the entire united states public land system
by which 30 of the 50 states have since been very substantially if not
entirely subdivided
as have many foreign countries as well
& ohpawv is subjectively special too for being probably the last american
allstar i can hope to bag in a canoe

of particular interest here will be a measurement & search for any physical
remains or other evidence of the original 1785 point of origin stake
at a point which still appears to be indicated as a clear township corner
on the usgs topo
http://www.topozone.com/map.asp?lat=40.6458&lon=-80.5292&size=s&s=25

boy that felt nice to use this new toy brian just brought in

the tristate point evidently is the same as the tricounty point indicated
just south of that corner at lower right center

my recollection of the ohpawv area from an earlier visit
when i made this close photo of the tristate point facing south into &
across the ohio river
http://www.realmbuilder.com/tristate/PhotoDetail.asp?PhotoID=111
is that the hallowed point of origin itself may well be hidden under a
large pile of industrial chemicals on the wharf just a few feet to the
north
i e behind the camera position

perhaps this will strike you as a weird approach & warmup to idmtwy
especially since we will probably not be airdropping the canoe into
yellowstone after all

& like i mean we would be delighted to loan the canoe to someone in the
midwest for a few weeks
if anybody would like that



& then on the homeward or eastbound leg of the journey
tries at all 3 american tristates in the great lakes are in order because
these are the last 3 allstars i have scarcely farted in the general
direction of

indeed i seriously doubt anyone has farted at any of these 3 tps yet

i have photographed ilinmi or illinois indiana michigan at 9 mile range
if you can call that photographing
& have overflown it too at high & low altitudes
& i know brian has also approached here this way
& at ilmiwi or illinois michigan wisconsin too in his case

but i have never heard of anyone fool enough to actually try to reach these
points or the third of the virgins mimnwi aka michigan minnesota
wisconsin
i mean on the actual face of the earth

so there you have my & hopefully our projected quintipopper in a nutshell

relevant biblical passages are at p83 pp115ff &137ff & maps pp56ff &132
boundaries of the united states & the several states

& for probable geocoordinates of the most elusive ilmiwi & ilinmi points
please see my full dissertation of all 13 theses for these
http://www.realmbuider.com/tristate/ReportDetail.asp?ReportID=72
probably the most turgid thing i have ever done
but possibly worthwhile
especially if you just skip down to the last 2 lines
