now hugh about fsibtc again
at the bottom of
http://tinyurl.com/9gzsz
i have still not been able to get completely clear
you say there is a viewing tower at the top of the mountain
& you show 2 towers
either one of which could conceivably be the one you mean
but then i also would have just guessed you photographed the taller but apparently lower
tower from the shorter but apparently higher one
that is
until i saw the 100 yen price tag on the latter
&
the slight difference between the 2 viewing angles of this taller lower tower also suggests
you may have taken your magnificent panoramic atmospheric photo of it not from the
actual summit & small tower & geocache point necessarily at all
like the other one
if indeed they were all 3 of them at this singular mountaintop location
as perhaps hinted by you & the gcm5pp dot & or nearby triangle on your map swatch
but rather
from perhaps much closer to the bottom center of this map swatch
i would guess
where you also evidently passed
& i have guessed this
as well as provisionally placed the tall tower on the elevation point indicated as 922 on the
map swatch
just for lack of anything more definitive to go on
which perhaps you can still provide in correction
& then
continuing hypothetically by measuring the viewing angle toward the tripoint at about 20
degrees left of the centered tower based on all the above surmises
lo & behold
what do i see there in plain view but a tall thin white post
in a light brown patch set off by a dark green background
at roughly kilometric range
about midway between the tower & the power pole line cum perhaps roadway to its left
but do you follow any of this or
more importantly
do you
s e e
in your pic the object i am talking about
for thats a clear class d guess
rather than some impossibly elusive class e hope
or has my imagination run away from us already
but anyway
while you are mulling & or laughing over that
a perhaps bigger question
now that we have had serious tries at so many as 4 dry ones
is
do you imagine they are all in fact marked
with some just being more elusive than others for various reasons
or do you suppose they are indifferently & haphazardly marked as chance would have it
in other words
given sufficient time & care & luck etc
from all youve seen & been able to learn for sure as well as just guess
do you think you would have bagged all 4 of these class a
just like you surely did with knszyn
& that we can therefore still expect or hope there are as many marked prefectural tripoints
in japan as there are dry ones
or is it still too soon to hazard any such generalization
