nicely done people

& i still cant be sure from this distance
but i have the growing sense with athusk that the main rock has been dilapidating
ever so vaguely northwards perhaps into slovakia
to put it crudely & diffidently
since i dont yet have my nor its bearings
&
albeit dilapidating still ever so slightly
yet perhaps no longer quite so slowly
thanx to this latest wave of vandalism

or rather visigothism
since they probably needed heavy machinery for the assault on the rock

however
some of the camera alignments could also have been cocked
& this particular shot
http://www.flickr.com/photos/borderfilms/79552523/
is both particularly confusing & well as particularly revealing of the uncertainty or
challenge presented by the try
while it also suggests at the same time the possibility that everyone was ultimately fully
cognizant of the boundaries there & fully satisfied in the end
& that doug in particular was trying to compensate for the dilapidation by placing his
touch & calling the camera shot in on the highest corner of the rock here
rather than the central dimple or crosshairs if any
for a palpably & admirably rectified visit class a

& moreover
the more i look at the little bilateral terminal markers of the 3 convergents
if thats what they are
the more i share the confusion expressed by jesper here at the time of the first visit
as follows from message 4652

Doug was on top of the monument, and Jack ran around the tp 10 times making 30 border
crossings in one minute. The border markers are however very confusing, I'll will discuss it
later...

a promise not yet fulfilled
at least to the best of my recollection

so perhaps it is time for some more testimony from any of the participants
but especially an evaluation of both marker cooperation & dilapidation if any

& of course a trifinial diagram incorporating at least all 4 rocks & any delineations that
were depicted on their crowns
if at all possible at this late date
even if necessarily approximated
would be totally heavenly
