thanx mostly to jesper
we have already enjoyed several class e & d photos of the
guatemala honduras elsalvador tripoint
located high in the cloud forest atop montecristo
also called trifinio
meaning triborder
& situated in a triple national park
& we might well have expected a distinctive mountain peak
with an obligatory statue of christ
if we could ever get a close enough look
on a clear enough day
but now comes this inexplicable close up pic
without any caption or accompanying text
but with the words elsalvador & montecristo in the url
http://www.
elsalvador.com/planeta/2002/110402/fotos/Montecristo.JPG
apologies if doctoring it by hand is necessary
as this experimental format is the best i can hope to try
anyway it shows a parklike setting within a craterlike depression
surrounded with what looks like cloud forest all right
& surmounted by a pole
which could be a tripoint marker
& might even support a crucifix
if again we could only see it clearly & completely enough
at all events it is our first class c try at gthnsv
for whatever that may be worth
& i do presume all tries at improvement are worthy
but only time will tell if this is actually the real stuff
one could even hope that doug might settle this question
while in guatemala for bzgtmx this winter
& if he does so
he will be the first to collect all the tricountry points of north
america
for
yes
guatemala hogs them both
& he would also thereby surge into the worldclass lead
& become the first person in the world with a score of 21
tricountry points tried
am i rooting too hard
