several pics from the alleged quadrapoint.  Here are my brief <br/>
thoughts.   Mind you all I could do was observe and not any detailed <br/>
analysis.<br/>
<br/>
From what I saw, it is a real stretch to call it a quadrapoint.  <br/>
There seems to be some distance between the NA bank and the ZW <br/>
point.  Since as others have said, there is no marker between ZM and <br/>
ZW, it was difficult to determine the westernmost point of ZW.  There <br/>
are power lines to the immediate east of the road leading to the <br/>
ferry crossing.  I assume that they are within BW borders but this is <br/>
just conjecture.  Later, looking southward from the river, I could <br/>
see that the east of the ferry landing the south bank was all covered <br/>
in reed and there were no markers nor man made objects of any kind.<br/>
<br/>
The bridge is a good idea because the so called &quot;ferry&quot; is a sorry <br/>
contraption.  It is a steel pontoon with two tractor engines on each <br/>
side.  On the BW side, the ferry&#39;s drawbridge does not reach the <br/>
shore so passengers must hop over rocks to cross the gap, a very <br/>
difficult act with luggage.  Most repeat travellers have their own <br/>
horror stories about the ferry.<br/>
<br/>
I have developed the photos and I hope to have them in digital form <br/>
to share with you soon.<br/>
