as requested i think i can now predict i actually will be heading for
mdvawv
some time in the next month or 2
& will be including the 3 mason dixon preliminary point tries en route

so i dont know if any or all of that may interest you
or may even be possible for you
or for anyone else for that matter
but i could time the tries to the convenience of yourself & joyce &or
any other prospective companions

also i think the water table must be dropping back toward the desired
mean low water level by now
but it may help to start with a large enough window on our calendar
just to take maximum advantage of any dry spell that should occur in
coming weeks

also for this or any future try for mdvawv
i have ascertained by some new computations
since the previous discussions on this point
that the vawv survey terminal point
which you may recall is depicted coincident with the vegetation line
along the potomac river shore
is 79 & a half feet below the terminal monument
& this measurement could well represent mean low water
as it was the actual waterline when the survey was done in late winter

so i am getting fairly psyched to try this new measurement out
& would like to learn of any potential company for the tripointing as
well as for any of the mason dixon try pointing en route
