well we pored over all the metes & bounds & our limited mental maps all day & half the night
 
& tried to reconstruct a clear image of the trijunction if any 
among my friend dans 3 ancestral land parcels
located near hyde point on grand isle
& very near the red center cross shown here
http://www.topozone.com/map.asp?z=18&n=4954487&e=637909&s=250&size=l&datum=nad83&layer=DRG100
 
but we never did make a physical try nor even an acceptable map before running out of time
without even ascertaining if this supposedly ancestral tripoint even exists except in my imagination
 
& i have since had to make good my escape
before the unexpected but now impending arrival of the other heirs to the property
 
& i may well double back there in a few days after things have settled down a bit
but i must now report the second consecutive elusive tripoint try of this short expedition
 
 
except
as i was leaving the property this morning
i noticed on the topo linked above
that our view across the lake out the living room window was in fact perfectly enhanced by the presence of the vermont tricounty point of chittenden & franklin with grand isle
aka us2vt3chfrgr
 
& indeed there she was in plain sight
i have since positively confirmed
staring my friend dan in the eye thru most of the summers of his life
a truly grand ancestral & life tripoint
whether we ever do find any dry proprietary counterpart to it or not
 
what a thrill
 
 
so we are not really just 0 for 2 at all
but we already have 1 resounding success now out of 3 tries at this juncture
& we can always improve on this last delightful point at leisure in the canoe
since i have a lifetime invite
 
 
so
feeling all my arcane efforts to date on this outing are already highly rewarded by this marvelous esoteric discovery in plain view
i am now foot loose & fancy free here once again
wondering what point to try for my next encore 
in all this fantastic & beautiful new wonderland i suddenly find myself able to explore
 
but i think i may already have decided
to at least follow chfr from its inception in dans window to its other end at chfrla
where franklin & chittenden counties are met by la moille
with the latter converging in thunderbolt mode yet
as you can see if you follow chfr from the above topo swatch all the way to its other end
 
 
but yoicks & the chase is on again
