<blockquote><span title="ireply"> &gt;Congratulations on getting at least close to where we think the<br/>
&gt;original marker at ohpawv was located. I have been there twice and<br/>
&gt;the second time gave up after seeing the continuous uninterupted<br/>
&gt;industrialization of the area.<br/>
<br/>
 </span></blockquote>thank you  my liege<br/>
<br/>
it was our second try there too<br/>
<br/>
the management even gave us free run of the place this time<br/>
rather than the more usual escorted hit & run tour<br/>
so we were able to scope it all out at leisure<br/>
on foot & in the amphibious unit<br/>
albeit while dodging 18 wheelers & heavy equipment etc<br/>
<br/>
i think it may be useful to posterity to observe re ohpawv that the topo at<br/>

can be very well followed on the ground only if one realizes that a new<br/>
hangar has been added just south of & parallel to the 3 already depicted in<br/>
purple athwart the state line<br/>
& that it is possible to follow this line by eye<br/>
against the backdrop of bluffs & hollows on both banks of the ohio river<br/>
from the building corner shown  to & into the river  midway between the<br/>
number 1 & number 2 loading docks & precisely thru the freestanding tower<br/>
within the river just beyond them<br/>
  none of which however are depicted<br/>
& that this tripoint can therefore probably still be found more exactly by<br/>
topo & eye than by gps<br/>
a situation which btw is not true of many wetpoints any more<br/>

&gt;With reference to the cancelled part of that trip, namely idmtwy<br/>
&gt;before you make too definite plans for next June consider that at<br/>
&gt;over 8000 feet in Yellowstone Park there is likely going to be a few<br/>
&gt;feet of snow yet in June depending on the winters accumulation.<br/>
&gt;Better check with the ranger at Island Park.  Of course going early<br/>
&gt;would produce a better chance of testing my theory on possible<br/>
&gt;overflow from the little lake near the tripoint, but I don&#39;t really<br/>
&gt;want you to have to go in there on snowshoes.<br/>

of course you are right<br/>
this bigfoot thing must have gone to my head<br/>
<br/>
i also just learned that alberta & british columbia had the same problem<br/>
with their continental divide boundary<br/>
about height of land not necessarily equating to watershed<br/>
<br/>
it was amicably settled there too<br/>
<br/>
but are you sure you wouldnt rather just keep calling it  elk pee lake<br/>
