continuing yesterday
after some much needed refreshment
i headed immediately up to mdvawv
where i recovered marker 30a again with no problem
& tried to measure off the correct distance to mostly legal mdvawv
with a real tape measure
again i wished spooky mike & his gps tech were really there in the
flesh
both to get the compass bearing perfectly right & to get a backup
fix on the target point
& the tape kept getting hung up & releasing etc
& in the end i had to accept a less than direct line
& had to guesstimate additional length for the hangups
but i figure i nailed it in the end to within 5 feet of the truth
& marked it with the nearest available piece of trash
a slightly ed corona bottle
& i photographed this not unimprovable but thus far crowning glory
& then i also continued this alignment down to the water line
which was only about 10 horizontal feet & 1 vertical foot away
a rather surprising fact in view of how low the river was at dcmdvan
& dipped a toe in there for an alternative view of mdvawv
just in case maryland will not accept to be on the right bank under
any circumstances
oops
being kicked off again
more later perhaps
