<div id="ygrps-yiv-1334094361">because the delaware boundary monuments website seems to almost volunteer<br/>
the data for an easy cardinal extremities tour of that state<br/>
i continued with such a chase this morning<br/>
<br/>
but hopes of a definitive roundup were dashed when it proved arduous to<br/>
impossible to distinguish continental from insular lands<br/>
owing to the extensive marshes & channeling all up & down that coast<br/>
<br/>
for what it might be worth tho<br/>
the story thus far is noted below<br/>
<br/>
des absolute at boundary monument 5<br/>
  38deg 27min 03sec 81561frac<br/>
    previously mentioned<br/>
<br/>
dew monumental at arc stone 3<br/>
  75deg 47min 21sec 7192frac<br/>
    not necessarily the same as dew absolute<br/>
      which will require more data & math<br/>
<br/>
den monumental at boundary milepost 15<br/>
  39deg 50min 21sec 85000frac<br/>
    not necessarily the same as den absolute<br/>
      which will also require more data & math<br/>
<br/>
dee monumental at boundary monument 0<br/>
  75deg 03min 19sec 18500frac<br/>
    interesting stone but not very close<br/>
<br/>
dee dry & insular<br/>
  slight projection of beach at fenwick island<br/>
    opposite st matthews church<br/>
<br/>
dee continental<br/>
  anybodys guess due to marshlands etc<br/>
<br/>
dee absolute the wet point<br/>
  3nm or 18240 feet east of dee dry  above<br/>
<br/>
interesting too that both den & dew are on arcs<br/>
<br/>

ps to randy<br/>
i also learned you were right about 1921<br/>
this being the year the legislature of delaware & the united states<br/>
congress legally accepted that reality</div>
