<div id="ygrps-yiv-2035844935">thanx  pete  & i certainly agree with you & the dolphins<br/>
for the play is the thing here too<br/>
& you know i am only in this for the fun of it<br/>
& wouldnt deign to slow you or anyone down for less than a good time<br/>
<br/>
but this is an embarrassment of riches<br/>
for we have both your own firsthand account & gideon here too<br/>
<br/>
so i have to wonder<br/>
could it be we are both facing the same mountain & tp but from different sides<br/>
<br/>
indeed your 50km difference might be just right for this to work out<br/>
<br/>
& gideon says the austria italy boundary runs to the tp with slovenia at<br/>
patzen or pec peak on mount forno or ofen at 4948ft or 1509m<br/>
<br/>
elsewhere he says the austria slovenia boundary begins at this same peak<br/>
but gives its elevation differently as 4599ft or 1509m<br/>
<br/>
in a third place he reports the italy slovenia boundary begins at this same<br/>
peak tho he spells it petzen here & gives the elev a third way as 4559ft or<br/>
1509m<br/>
<br/>
& finally in his list of boundary junction mountain peaks in the back<br/>
matter he counts this tp once as petzen or pec peak & once again as forno<br/>
or ofen<br/>
<br/>
it may help to know also that the actual conversion of 1509m<br/>
which i suspect may be the only correct altitude he gives for this tp<br/>
if indeed any of them is correct & therefore useful for corroboration by<br/>
topo &or altimeter<br/>
is more like 4951 or 4952ft<br/>
<br/>
also this may well be another case like atchde where we really should seek<br/>
the higher authority of the relevant regional bible in any case<br/>
<br/>
for now i grant one of us could be wrong<br/>
but the beauty of it is we neednt think so<br/>

&gt;Hi Mike,<br/>
&gt;interesting picture, lots of snow - I hate wintertime, I&#39;d rather be in<br/>
&gt;Australia<br/>
&gt;swimming amongst dolphins...<br/>
&gt;Sorry Mike, but this picture of Bleiburg and the &quot;Petzen&quot; mountain has nothing<br/>
&gt;to do with our tp Austria-Slovenia-Italy (btw - that&#39;s a beauty, we most<br/>
&gt;certainly<br/>
&gt;are going to visit on our GCEBE next year, it&#39;s not only a tp, but a<br/>
&gt;meeting-place<br/>
&gt;of three different cultures (Germanic, Roman and Slavic) and languages!!!<br/>
&gt;Bleiburg and the adjacent Petzen are situated about 50 km further east -<br/>
&gt;very close<br/>
&gt;to Slovenia - and our tp is on Mt. Ofen (or Forno in Italian) near<br/>
&gt;Arnoldstein/Austria.<br/>
&gt;All the best - warm fall greetings to you and New England...!<br/>
&gt;Pete<br/>
