<div id="ygrps-yiv-534603573">one question:<br/>
In picture #3, I can&#39;t quite tell...is this the entire<br/>
bridge, Dutch side looking into french territory?  Or<br/>
is this all French territory in the photo?<br/>

&gt; Computer problems holding me back again. <br/>
&gt; Here are four more St Martin pics. <br/>
&gt; 1) This is at the eastern end of Oyster Bay. This is<br/>
&gt; what could be a<br/>
&gt; boundary marker, a boundary reference marker, or<br/>
&gt; something else! I think it<br/>
&gt; is represented on the topos with that small<br/>
&gt; triangular point. This little<br/>
&gt; peninsula is Dutch and the one across the water is<br/>
&gt; French.<br/>
&gt; 2) Here it is from another angle looking at Oyster<br/>
&gt; Bay. In the middle right<br/>
&gt; of the picture you can see a brown bar/restaurant<br/>
&gt; overhanging the water.<br/>
&gt; This is the one that lies on the border with perhaps<br/>
&gt; the shortest<br/>
&gt; international bridge.<br/>
&gt; 3) Here&#39;s the international bridge. Again, it<br/>
&gt; appears that the shoreline<br/>
&gt; marks the border, so as you enter the bar, you&#39;re on<br/>
&gt; the French side, but<br/>
&gt; within a few inches you enter the Dutch side. The<br/>
&gt; old 1:50000 seem to show<br/>
&gt; this, but the one Chris turned us on to does not.<br/>
&gt; 4) Here&#39;s the change in pavement at the border just<br/>
&gt; west of Oyster Bay. The<br/>
&gt; blue sign simply says Philipsburg right, Dawn Beach<br/>
&gt; left. There&#39;s not<br/>
&gt; welcome to either side sign at this crossing point.<br/>
&gt; Oh yeah, by the way, on<br/>
&gt; the far west end of the island, where the road<br/>
&gt; crosses just west of Simpson<br/>
&gt; Bay Lagoon, only the French side has a welcome sign<br/>
&gt; (I sent a pic of this<br/>
&gt; earlier).<br/>
&gt; It would be nice to try to work out the exact<br/>
&gt; dimensions of the border, but<br/>
&gt; frankly, I&#39;m not sure anyone knows! <br/>
