I think the biggest reason for the lack of marked tripoints up there on the<br/>
ridge is probably the prevalence of federal and state land ownership.  This<br/>
means that the county boundaries typically are not property lines, and their<br/>
exact locations have no significance for the purpose of property taxes.  That&#39;s<br/>
just my unproved theory.  I think you&#39;re probably right that most of the these<br/>
boundaries on the ridge exist more on paper than they ever have on the<br/>
landscape.<br/>

&gt; just reprovisioning & relaxing etc in this good old town while the<br/>
&gt; weather clears<br/>
&gt; but i cant help noticing there are still 3 more pearls to be had up<br/>
&gt; on the skyline drive south of here<br/>
&gt; with the foliage now at peak there<br/>
&gt;<br/>
&gt; algrro probably at the rockytop summit point<br/>

&gt;<br/>
&gt; alauro practically in the road<br/>
&gt; but still<br/>
&gt; will it be there<br/>

&gt;<br/>
&gt; & alaune looking like a fitting piece of resistance for number 13<br/>

&gt;<br/>
&gt; but i keep wondering why so few virginia tricounty markers have been<br/>
&gt; found even in the several easy & obvious places that i have scoured<br/>
&gt; quite carefully<br/>
&gt; let alone in the difficult remote ones<br/>
&gt;<br/>
&gt; could it be that all these geodetic convergents have not actually<br/>
&gt; been marked on the ridge at all but have only been projected up to<br/>
&gt; it thru pairs of more convenient & easily eyeballable markers in the<br/>
&gt; valleys<br/>
&gt;<br/>
&gt; or are they only written somewhere & not actually marked anywhere<br/>
&gt;<br/>
&gt; i know this markerlessness isnt the case for all virginia counties<br/>
&gt; because i have found some of their lines fairly well marked<br/>
&gt;<br/>
&gt; but maybe more data will emerge somewhere down the line<br/>
&gt;<br/>
&gt; would sure love to see another good old standing rock at some point<br/>
&gt; tho </span></blockquote></div>
