does this mean you missed or disregarded message 15287<br/>
<br/>
we do think we know who might know<br/>
<br/>
indeed we think we know<br/>
<br/>
for dave has already asked & been told by the lsaw surveyor<br/>
<br/>
& the 1909 date on the plaque explicitly relates it to the 1909 <br/>
disk even if he hadnt asked<br/>

&gt; (great circle by my choice/guess) is correct<br/>
&gt; (or at least in the ballpark),<br/>
&gt; then the US-Canada border probably crosses the plaque.<br/>
&gt; The plaque appears to be big enough.<br/>

&gt; <br/>
&gt; With all the potential sources of inaccuracy,<br/>
&gt; the border may cross the middle.<br/>
&gt; Anyone know who might know,<br/>
&gt; like the Land Surveyors Assoc. of Washington themselves?<br/>

&gt; In a search there I found a mention of their<br/>
&gt; &quot;remomumentation project,&quot; but no explicit description<br/>
&gt; of the monuments so far.  This plaque was installed<br/>
&gt; in 1998.  The LSAW Historical Society records online<br/>
&gt; seem to start with the 2nd half of 1999.<br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; Would it be cheating to directly ask them<br/>
&gt; about their plaque, now that we have some numbers<br/>
&gt; (correct or not)?  :)<br/>
