<blockquote><span title="ireply"> &gt; &gt; & btw<br/>
&gt; &gt; we are still waiting for you to report on your first multipoint <br/>
&gt; visit<br/>
<br/>
 </span></blockquote>& here i must prolong my earlier apology<br/>
hahahaha<br/>
because i said the above in such haste<br/>
<br/>
like all my stuff from big pine & now key west here<br/>
owing to the irregular conditions of internet access in paradise<br/>
everything is just hurled up to & from the message board on the wing<br/>
<br/>
what i immediately wished i had had time to fully think & say<br/>
as soon as i had posted that <br/>
& even before your brilliant reriposte<br/>
was<br/>
we are still very much looking forward to your initial multipoint <br/>
visit report<br/>
because it ought to be a real doozer<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
& i would even like to propose a try or 3 in your neighborhood<br/>
since i am very interested in them & would enjoy any company or help <br/>
or both<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
the main event <br/>
i think <br/>
is the original mxtxus1836 ghost tricountry point<br/>
the only clearly defined de jure tricountry point ever to have taken <br/>
form or been dreamt up as it were within the usa<br/>
<br/>
it is somewhere potentially very precise <br/>
yet very probably never officially marked<br/>
& possibly never even unofficially commemorated<br/>
<br/>
somewhere in the great divide basin of south central wyoming<br/>
<br/>
at nlat precisely 42 degrees x wlong precisely of the source of the <br/>
rio grande  <br/>
<br/>
so any try for 1836mxtxus1845<br/>
as this point might also be called in full<br/>
would have to be preceded by a very careful & thorough sawanabori of <br/>
the rio all the way up to the ridge line of the continental divide<br/>
<br/>
& i know from my study of the headstreams of this river on topozone<br/>
that this will not be an easy task<br/>
but it might be great fun<br/>
first to just even fully try on topozone & then to check on foot<br/>
<br/>
btw<br/>
the one other de jure ghost tricountry point possibility in the usa<br/>
1783esgbus1803<br/>
may fall at the point where the full mississippi river descends into <br/>
louisiana<br/>
if i have it all right<br/>
<br/>
plus there was also a disputed 1783esgbus1803 vaguely in minnesota<br/>
<br/>
& a defacto 18th century esfrgb somewhere probably in southern <br/>
georgia or alabama<br/>
<br/>
& 2 defacto 17th century frgbnls<br/>
according to a dutch map<br/>
somewhere in quebec or new hampshire<br/>
& somewhere in western new york or pennsylvania<br/>
<br/>
but thats it<br/>
<br/>
slim pickins or a nice little list <br/>
led off by the one positively real one in your area as described above<br/>
<br/>
& concluded <br/>
if anyone wanted to complete this local ensemble of try points<br/>
by the disputed & highly improbable 1819esgbusus1845 tricountry point<br/>
also on nlat 42 degrees in south central wyoming<br/>
& also on the continental divide<br/>
maybe some 50 miles or so west of the txmxus ghost<br/>
<br/>
these are very special if not utterly unique points & worth the candle<br/>
dont you agree<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
& again this is hurled up at such high speed please be especially <br/>
generous about understanding it<br/>
or filling in any blanks<br/>
or again asking<br/>
<br/>
out of time</div>
