<div id="ygrps-yiv-639293550">so lets say kevin never calls me back on this mdvawv question<br/>
<br/>
& i wouldnt blame him nor pursue him if he doesnt<br/>
since this otherwise inconsequential lapse in his survey art <br/>
or rather only in how he represented & attested to his survey art<br/>
might never be discovered in all our lifetimes<br/>
namely<br/>
that the edge of the river at the time of his survey was indeed <br/>
or was the same as <br/>
a mean low water mark<br/>
<br/>
& he has been nothing but kind & helpful & generous to us<br/>
<br/>
so i find i simply dont have the heart or stomach<br/>
whichever it is<br/>
to keep plowing right thru him at least on this question<br/>
& there doesnt seem to be anyone or any place else to plow thru <br/>
<br/>
so at this point i feel we must respectfully accept his word as law <br/>
on this<br/>
just as virginia & west virginia have already done<br/>
without detaining ourselves for approvals from either maryland <br/>
or congress <br/>
let alone the dictates of reason<br/>
<br/>
period<br/>
<br/>
dont you agree<br/>
<br/>
& therefore the truest available mdvawv<br/>
at least for the time being<br/>
remains exactly where he said it is<br/>
<br/>
in other words<br/>
the extant albeit unmarked terminal point of his vawv survey<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
& this is good even if strange news for the world of trypointing<br/>
because it means this tripoint can now be visited in earnest<br/>
with only a gps receiver or preferably a 100 foot tape measure <br/>
& indeed visited on dry land <br/>
at even the highest known river level<br/>
<br/>
a level which kevins survey in march thaw conditions actually <br/>
depicts<br/>
<br/>
or at least it is the highest to my knowledge<br/>
for i have always found it lower at all 6 of my own visits<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
so at this point<br/>
unless anyone can see a better way to proceed<br/>
or any way or any reason to proceed <br/>
from this point<br/>
i expect to be visiting kevins true mdvawv later this week with a <br/>
clear conscience <br/>
class b<br/>
<br/>
& i again cordially invite anyone who would like to join me & <br/>
possibly mike & others <br/>
to take advantage of this first opportunity in history to really bag <br/>
this point<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
as for dcmdvan<br/>
it is hard to see how kevins mdvawv point could possibly have <br/>
any effect so far afield<br/>
except that it represents the only known acceptance by virginia of <br/>
anything remotely resembling a low water mark <br/>
or any water mark<br/>
preposterous & unrecognizable as it is<br/>
<br/>
however<br/>
i dont feel clownish enough to actually follow its precedency by <br/>
substititing high for low water here at dcmdvan too <br/>
purely on my own recognizance again<br/>
<br/>
for that seems to be pushing things a bit far even for me<br/>
<br/>
what i will do at dcmdvan in the name of sanity however is to <br/>
accept <br/>
at least <br/>
whatever water mark obtains at the time of our visit this saturday<br/>
<br/>
for i am sure this water mark will at least seem low to me just <br/>
because i will be looking down at it from higher up on the bank<br/>
<br/>
btw you are all also again cordially invited to attend this visit<br/>
since it too is looking more real now<br/>
<br/>
& then also<br/>
to this primary & most probable dcmdvan position i might add <br/>
perhaps<br/>
if everyone insists & the water is dissuasively high as well<br/>
some as yet still unknown lower low water mark dcmdvan <br/>
position too<br/>
situated somewhere in the white water just offshore</div>
