<div id="ygrps-yiv-426896212">& proceeding from mass town line supermarketing <br/>
to mass town line super megapointing<br/>
i see the claim is made about halfway down the page in<br/>
<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.rootsweb.com/~mabarnst/">http://www.rootsweb.com/~mabarnst/</a><br/>
that if you extend the original borders of the towns of barnstable <br/>
county massachusetts out into cape cod bay<br/>
they will all meet at a single point in the middle of the bay<br/>
<br/>
suggesting a ship at anchor was used to survey them by night<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
& while i havent yet been able to find a good enough map to tie <br/>
all these town lines together well enough to either substantiate <br/>
or bust this claim<br/>
& tho clearly many modifications would also have had to occur <br/>
since such a hypothetical big bang & point of origin occurred <br/>
if indeed there ever really was one<br/>
there definitely do at least appear at first glance to be many <br/>
possible remnants of such a comprehensive alignment in the 9 <br/>
town lines successively separating in clockwise order<br/>
provincetown<br/>
truro<br/>
wellfleet<br/>
eastham<br/>
orleans<br/>
brewster<br/>
dennis<br/>
yarmouth<br/>
barnstable &<br/>
sandwich<br/>
& perhaps also continuing with several additional towns beyond <br/>
barnstable county & up the west side of the bay<br/>
<br/>
but can anyone shed any further light upon this grand <br/>
perhaps <br/>
