& i also have the same rocks in profile in my river level pix
with very substantial agreement of many other features too
so even assuming some slight inaccuracy in the fairfax overlays
which i do
having seen the irregularities in some of the other details
it still wont be hard to find the approximately correct alignment
& of course this is not everything we will need to find
but it means marker wm1 should be much easier to recover now
& that
plus mathews & nelson
plus a place to park the cars
plus good luck with our new access route
plus a low enough water level
plus a security line for leaning out over the river from the bank
since we dont dare jump in to reach the tripoint
even if it is just offshore as we expect
may be all we need to upgrade our laurels to class b
