hapiri
or the hancock pittsfield richmond tripoint
http://www.berkshireweb.com/themap/index.html
which you may recall unexpectedly turned up looking
very possibly wet as well as very possibly unmarked
last week
http://topozone.com/map.asp?z=18&n=4697561.0001179&e=636794.000005837&datum=nad83
& thus threw into question the very feasibility of my
quest for all 44 berkshire tri town markers
was finally visited or at least tried this afternoon
at very close range

& in a nutshell
no marker was found at the tripoint position indicated
on the topo
neither anywhere near the pond
nor anywhere in sight within the pond

the attached photo was taken from the best guessed
tripoint position facing southeast toward the dam &
pond outlet at center
just so you can see what i was facing while my hopes
of completion were pretty much tho not quite
absolutely dashed

but realizing i needed a confirmational reading from
the border bible before giving up the entire project
as being ultimately undoable
i drove straight downtown to the pittsfield library
which however i found is closed on sundays

so that brought & brings everything to at least a
screeching halt
if not a total abandonment of the overall perfect
ensemble try

earlier today tho
we completed hipewi
of which a second photo is attached showing jc holding
its broken p
& we also lightly probed dapiwa & lnpiwa & lnpiri en
route to hapiri

which left the possibly final score at
18 down & 9 up with 17 left for perhaps only 43 rather
than 44 right
pending the necessary bible reading

& finally
if there is room
also attached are pix of our hosts isaac & brock at
hipewa yesterday
& likewise of jc taking another bow while hovering
over dahiwa
also yesterday
just to get them all off my chest

but hipewi & dahiwa are both great stories that i
reserve the right to tell some time in their own right

whether i ever resume the overall try or not
