<div id="ygrps-yiv-81926713">silly of me but i am still on mini expedition as you know <br/>
& even this late into the season yikes<br/>
& from all appearances willy nilly yet<br/>
holy moly<br/>
but i just wanted to deliver the long range weather forecast & my <br/>
attendant trypointing prospects for the balance of the calendar year<br/>
<br/>
it seems that the first gentle wave of real winter will be arriving <br/>
here in surprise tonite & following nites<br/>
so my best prospects now are to boogie back down the gila valley one <br/>
more time not just to gila bend & mayu <br/>
but indeed as far down into the hot corner as i dare to risk it<br/>
<br/>
which as you know <br/>
if conditions look favorable enough <br/>
means <br/>
i might indeed torch mxn aka azbcca for tripoint viewing <br/>
as desired <br/>
& even if just to keep warm<br/>
from the arizona side <br/>
at the boldest & farthest imaginable extremity of this retreat<br/>
<br/>
& if anybody thinks that might be a crime then please overlook it<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
also<br/>
since the next level of arizona tricounty point field diligence is <br/>
tucked away in a bombing range as you may also recall <br/>
i have conceived a trip to the state library in downtown phoenix as <br/>
the possibly final & indispensible research diligence point for any <br/>
final dissertation on this topic<br/>
<br/>
for now <br/>
it looks like there must have been very few pre statehood county line <br/>
surveys like the 1908 atwood predecessor on moya<br/>
& probably also very few post statehood ones too<br/>
like the 1918 atwood mayu & 1924 thompson maya that have been found<br/>
<br/>
for apart from these 3 known surveys<br/>
& except for the natural demarcation of streams & ridge lines <br/>
& not counting preexisting public land survey corner pins that have <br/>
been legally appropriated in county line descriptions <br/>
i dont believe i have found any evidence anywhere of marked arizona <br/>
county lines<br/>
let alone tripoint monumentation as such<br/>
<br/>
so i have the state archives at 1700 west washington street in <br/>
downtown phoenix in my sights today also <br/>
before i do slide back down the valley <br/>
<br/>
& yikes thats west again isnt it tho i swear i am eastbound<br/>
<br/>
for my final objective for the old year also coming into view now<br/>
will be to get this cay to shining key 86ing prohibition <br/>
transcontinental mini expedition of mine into high gear now for its <br/>
ultimate arrival on the atlantic side in january for the actual 86th <br/>
anniversary of prohibition as promised<br/>
<br/>
& tho it will be of consequence only to the new year & new month<br/>
the final target of 2004 will be a point just east of goldthwaite <br/>
texas<br/>
where texas farm road 2005 begins eastbound<br/>
& with it the hopefully annual ever after<br/>
but in any case the 2005 <br/>
bp inaugural tour<br/>
<br/>
oldtimers & mediumcomers will recall the 2004 bp inaugural tour in<br/>

& may marvel even today at how prophetic it has already proved to be<br/>
