i believe 20 of the 50 states have no quadricounty points at all
or rather no tertiary megapoints
as in message 547
which however is not understandable without its original tabulations
oops
but these data plus jacks even more elusive & fantastic findings of
stateline quadricounty points
which i also cant find at the moment
really should all be dusted off & assembled in one place
so we could finally see the total picture
of megapointing usa
in the meantime i can tell you your accomplishment is quite
significant
as it is the first time anyone has ever assembled an entire state
or at least the first i ever heard of
it is not however the first time anyone has ever bagged a state
since jc & i once bagged new york
by trying & possibly even visiting its 1 & only quadricounty point
in a stolen leaky punt
well we just borrowed it & returned it ok
indeed i believe ny is the only state in the northeast with any
megapoints at all
http://topozone.com/map.asp?lat=42.467&lon=-73.787
of course if you bag any state
as you & we have
albeit in different ways
you also get to count the 20 states that have no megapoints
along with whatever ones you do actually bag
so all together we already have 22 states in the can
& a blob i believe extending from maine to carolina & westward
