of course the inaugural report first

pennsylvania state route 2006 aka log tavern road in
dingmans township pennsylvania was selected for this
years bp multidimensional inaugural tour in preference
to its numerical counterparts in kentucky or texas or
anywhere else for that matter
not only because this particular highway was the
closest route 2006 to where i happened to be when 2006
arrived
but most poignantly too because it is itself a
multiple thing
comprising actually at least 4 unquestionably
disconnected & distinct routes
in far flung parts of the keystone state
all having this single name of pennsylvania state
route 2006

the 3 pix of the tour are ho hum btw
so skip right to the freshly grafittoed njnypa diagram
in the 4th attachment
if visual excitement is all you want

but anyway
the eastern end indicator of route 2006
where i began the inaugural tour
is shown in the first pic attachment
& is identical to the start indicator posted 4 miles
to the west
except the start arrow reads 0 & points the other way
of course in that case

& the only street name signpost i saw is shown in the
second pic

prominent directional arrows to both lords valley &
mount haven egged me on on the westward processional
but an octagonal gazebo was the first remarkable sight
on the left side
followed shortly on the right by an even more
remarkable octagonal house

since the year number 2006 itself already adds up to 8

i figured there we had a multidimensional lock on 8
already within the first half mile of play

but just to move right along with the pix
i will tell you i was already in the eastward or
recessional lap contenting myself with merely taking
note of such outstanding objects as these
& remarkable names & other words on the land etc
before i saw the 4 deer grazing on the side of the
road
one of which you might be able to see in the gmane
enlargement of the 3rd pic only with luck

& since these deer didnt move or even look up at
traffic
i may even have missed them there on my westbound pass
a few moments earlier

& of course the main omen i was seeking in the short
space of these 4 miles
or really it was 10 miles on the odometer as the round
trip & fully expanded tour actually evolved
would as usual be
whatever especially presented itself
but most especially the creaturehood
which of course trumps everything

so since i couldnt just stop there in traffic
& wanted to be sure the 4 deer i spotted & counted was
all of them
& also wanted to take a pic
etc
i quickly turned about
& drove past them again

& turned & returned again

& again

trying to get off a shot with traffic on my ass etc

my camera even jammed once

until finally on the 7th of my 8 passes i managed to
barely bag this doe here in the 3rd pic

tho you may only be able to see her white rump against
the trees & black legs in the snow


on the 8th & final pass they were gone
so that was the best i could do
but the portent was stunning even if i didnt bring it
back alive


& since the year 2006 itself already subtracts itself
down to 4
& this route 2006 is itself 4 miles long
i figured this was a second & even stronger
multidimensional lock
on 4
perhaps both complementing & trumping the earlier lock
on 8

but clearly
i thought
2006 is already looking like a year of destiny for
quadripointing & or octapointing



& i proceeded appropriately
tho not directly
to the nearby quadriarea of nj & ny & pa & njpa

for i detoured instead across the njpa delaware river
bridge at dingmans ferry just to make sure there was
no nasty state line sign there in the middle of the
river

& can report there certainly wasnt
in either direction
in further support of the condo thesis


when i did finally reach njnypa
i revised the trifinial diagram as shown in the 4th
pic

the njny alignment looked good against a likely state
line fence on the far side of the neversink
so i kept & prolonged it
& a visual alignment with the next lower cape on the
left bank produced the perfect tee you see


the presumed nw corner of the condo
almost under the freeway on the right bank of the
delaware
isnt easily accessible

no marker pops into sight there tho
neither from the tri states monument just across the
river
nor looking down from as close as you can get on the
overpass


as for the other prominent features of the tour
which might thus also prefigure our bp year
i would just add that my overall impression was of a
particularly lovely stretch of narrow winding road
thru mostly wooded country beside icy ponds & racing
brooks with names like dwarfs kill & indeed looking
entirely suitable for elves gnomes etc



& bem vindo & muito obrigadoooooo miguel
