thanx<br/>
& agreed that it is more likely that 2 or more lost intermediate adri marks have been found <br/>
to transform the single continuous northmost adri segment into a few very slight zigzags<br/>
than that both terminals of the northmost adri segment were lost & have been found<br/>
one of them being the true adcori & the other a corrected southern turnpoint on extant <br/>
adri southeast of the mapped southern turnpoint<br/>
as i was wanting to believe when i thought i had to account for 400 feet of shift<br/>
to erase & replace the entire northmost mapped segment of adri<br/>
<br/>
also i just noticed the 1993 topo shows no fewer than 8 structures practically touching <br/>
adri from one side or the other <br/>
or certainly within 50 feet of it<br/>
making the 400 foot estimate far greater than needed in any case<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
the only remaining bit of data that it is hard to account for<br/>
is the 30 or so acres of the development on solomon run road that must have shifted from <br/>
richland into adams<br/>
for if the displacement of adri is really measurable in slight zigzags of tens rather than <br/>
hundreds of feet<br/>
as i agree now seems far likelier <br/>
then this development parcel has to be at least 2 and a half miles in length<br/>
thus giving it a shape which the configuration of solomon run road in relation to adri <br/>
doesnt seem to permit<br/>
<br/>
do you see the difficulty<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
but apart from disposing of that one remaining rough spot<br/>
i would agree<br/>
it is now looking like adcori may well not have displaced at all<br/>

&gt; shorter geodesics connecting them.  There is only one other way that a revised <br/>
&gt; line could shift some homes one way and some the other, that being if one <br/>
&gt; terminus of a single long geodesic was moved one way and the other terminus the <br/>
&gt; other.  While that is possible, I think it might be more likely that <br/>
&gt; intermediate markers were found that caused the line to wander a bit from <br/>

&gt; &gt;&gt; I think that 400 feet is fairly accurate for the house on the west side of <br/>
&gt; &gt;&gt; the<br/>
&gt; &gt;&gt; road near the red dot in the road produced by TerraServer from the Rentons&#39;<br/>
&gt; &gt;&gt; street address.  However, it is possible that the Renton home is a newer one <br/>
&gt; &gt;&gt; not<br/>
&gt; &gt;&gt; on the map, across the road on the east, and much closer to the mapped line.<br/>
&gt; &gt;<br/>
&gt; &gt; yes i want to believe this<br/>
&gt; &gt;<br/>
&gt; &gt; in fact i want to believe it is set way back from the road<br/>
&gt; &gt;<br/>
&gt; &gt; & that their bedroom is way in the back of the house besides<br/>
&gt; &gt; hahaha<br/>
&gt; &gt;<br/>
&gt; &gt; so like how many feet at the outside do you think we might reasonably be able <br/>
&gt; &gt; to whack<br/>
&gt; &gt; off of those 400 if we really had to<br/>
&gt; &gt;<br/>
&gt; &gt;&gt; Didn&#39;t the article say that the surveyor had recovered some old forgotten <br/>
&gt; &gt;&gt; stones<br/>
&gt; &gt;&gt; or markers?<br/>
&gt; &gt;<br/>
&gt; &gt; indeed<br/>
&gt; &gt; lost markers plural<br/>
&gt; &gt; & i have counted with confidence only up to 2 so far<br/>
&gt; &gt;<br/>
&gt; &gt; Perhaps the maps show a long geodesic where the actual originally<br/>
&gt; &gt;&gt; surveyed line (now recovered) is a somewhat imperfect one hopping from stone <br/>
&gt; &gt;&gt; to<br/>
&gt; &gt;&gt; stone.<br/>
&gt; &gt;<br/>
&gt; &gt; do you mean the straight line we think we see on the maps is actually a series <br/>
&gt; &gt; of slight<br/>
&gt; &gt; wiggles<br/>
&gt; &gt; well perhaps so<br/>
&gt; &gt; but i still havent surely counted past the 2 terminal markers that would be <br/>
&gt; &gt; necessary for a<br/>
&gt; &gt; single geodesic segment<br/>
&gt; &gt;<br/>
&gt; &gt; lost & found markers being generally rather scarce i mean<br/>
&gt; &gt;<br/>
&gt; &gt; That could account for a few houses one way and a few the other without<br/>
&gt; &gt;&gt; any wholesale transplant of the entire line and its two termini.  Is this <br/>
&gt; &gt;&gt; what<br/>
&gt; &gt;&gt; you meant by your suggestion that the single-line theory might bite the dust<br/>
&gt; &gt;&gt; first of all?<br/>
&gt; &gt;<br/>
&gt; &gt; yes but happily it still lives in my mind<br/>
&gt; &gt; & your revised minimum plausible measurement could promote it dramatically<br/>
