&gt; Yes, I visited FINOSE with my wife a couple of weeks ago,<br/>
&gt; and I&#39;ll display my pics when I get them developed.<br/>
&gt; In brief, we made two interesting border visits (Finland-<br/>
&gt; Sweden) apart from the tripoint trip.<br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; One, we explored the Tornio-Haparanda Green Zone<br/>
&gt; golf course, where you have to cross the international<br/>
&gt; border 3-4 times when playing the full route.<br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; Two, we crossed  the northernmost Finnish-Swedish<br/>
&gt; border (apart from tripoint paths), a suspension bridge<br/>
&gt; at Peera intended for pedestrians only; it is one metre wide <br/>
&gt; and allows only five people crossing at the time.<br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; Three, the tripoint trip was good. We had excellent weather,<br/>
&gt; took a boat from Kilpisjärvi across Lake Kilpisjärvi (7-8 km)<br/>
&gt; to Koltaluokta in Sweden, walked on Swedish soil for 3 km <br/>
&gt; to the tripoint, rounded the tripoint, followed a path that<br/>
&gt; straddled the Finnish-Norwegian border for almost 2 km<br/>
&gt; until it turned east towards Kilpisjärvi (another 9 km). Then<br/>
&gt; we had another 2 km to walk to get to our car in the harbour.<br/>
&gt; Tripoint # 26 conquered!<br/>

& especially for your caring enough about our original topic & <br/>
main game to emerge at length as the leading expert & player<br/>
<br/>
& tho your considerable accomplishment has practically been <br/>
drowned & buried in everything else that now also passes for bp <br/>
such a mess of pottage does not compare even remotely with <br/>
our primary quest & unique opportunity for multidimensionality<br/>
of which you are <br/>
for now at least <br/>
our leading embodiment<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
also<br/>
tho i realize it may just be a difference of idiom or metaphor<br/>
i have to wonder if your visit <br/>
however truly triumphant it was & is<br/>
has really conquered anything at all <br/>
<br/>
for having tried about 100 tripoints myself<br/>
i have never felt conquest was an issue there<br/>
<br/>
jubilation fulfillment integration harmony balance affirmation <br/>
etc etc etc<br/>
but <br/>
what really was there that could ever be conquered<br/>
<br/>
if anything the tripoints mark places that couldnt be conquered<br/>
or perhaps all that was left after everything that could be <br/>
conquered had been conquered<br/>
<br/>
& i should think that that precisely is their greatest virtue & value</div>
