<div id="ygrps-yiv-870816144"><div>that armstrong carson potter randall quadricounty point virgin beauty&nbsp;</div>
<div>&amp; prima donna&nbsp;megapoint of the&nbsp;texas tertiary&nbsp;</div>
<div>was successfully&nbsp;visited earlier today class a</div>
<div>thanx substantially to our strong silent &amp; uncannily trusty local informant tex mcmanus</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>heralded&nbsp;by &amp; visible from the capo county line signs on federal&nbsp;highway 287</div>
<div>it is monumented by a somewhat battered &amp; misshapen&nbsp;3foot&nbsp;reinforced concrete pyramoid with a footsquare horizontal top in lieu of cap</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>the&nbsp;overall form is&nbsp;much like a bradstreet 1924 model as recently described&nbsp;for az3mayu</div>
<div>but with a copper disk embedded in its&nbsp;top</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>on&nbsp;the disk&nbsp;are&nbsp;engraved the names of the 4 counties&nbsp;in positions suggesting the&nbsp;4 quadrants</div>
<div>but&nbsp;the precise 4corner point location in their midst is not actually&nbsp;marked </div>
<div>&amp; has to be inferred geometrically</div>
<div>which can be done with confidence actually only down to about the correct square semicentimeter</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>but an index&nbsp;finger tip covers &amp; fudges all&nbsp;that just fine</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>date guess 1927</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>the usual barbed wire crawl&nbsp;</div>
<div>plus an open&nbsp;ballpark&nbsp;or so to&nbsp;run in view of a ranch house</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>&amp;&nbsp;remember we are in texas now</div>
<div>so even any slight&nbsp;tresspass is likely to be&nbsp;taken very seriously indeed</div>
<div>of course heightening the fun&nbsp;of the chase </div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>&amp;&nbsp;the cold turkey approach&nbsp;was so satisfying&nbsp;that i have decided to try to&nbsp;complete the entire 5pointed star&nbsp;tour&nbsp;cold turkey if possible before resorting to any further mappery</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>this may border on the&nbsp;footloose &amp; fancy free&nbsp;however</div>
<div>since the next 2 points i will be trying at least&nbsp;</div>
<div>namely crflhalu &amp; crgaluly</div>
<div>are&nbsp;indicated not as monumented points&nbsp;necessarily&nbsp;but only as triangulation stations</div>
<div>so they could be something else than arcapora entirely &amp;&nbsp;harder to spot</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>but we shall see</div><p>
