<div id="ygrps-yiv-1792186511">well jack i recalled your mentioning the highpointers had restored <br/>
this pseudocoksok manhole cover thing to the geographically correct <br/>
orientation at the time<br/>
but i wanted to leave a clue for any aspiring young trypointer coming <br/>
upon this curious object for the first time<br/>
that there was more here than meets the eye<br/>
<br/>
as you know <br/>
it took us many years & revisits to even surmise this underground <br/>
dimension<br/>
which after all is the only legal & permanent tripoint marker<br/>
<br/>
man i almost didnt even see the manhole cover itself the first time i <br/>
went looking for it <br/>
but had to unearth most of it too <br/>
<br/>
<br/>
however<br/>
yesterday the roads were slick & i got blocked by some workmen & then <br/>
lost etc<br/>
which got me to thinking<br/>
it really isnt my responsibility to make it easier for the younger <br/>
generation or newcomers in general<br/>
<br/>
on the contrary<br/>
<br/>
let them earn it the old fashioned way with some good hard play of <br/>
their own too<br/>
<br/>
to make it easier for them would be cheating them of all that fun<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
so i blew it off & headed for txnw<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
to be continued<br/>
