just discovered this latest makeover & relatively
fresh visit to ksmook
http://www.bjbsoftware.com/corners/pointdetail.php3?point=46
with unusual & rather handsome double scaled trifinial
diagram
the renovation was long expected
& surmised too tho only after the fact
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BoundaryPoint/message/18933
it should now be possible to tell if the tower is
indeed centered on ksok as we supposed earlier when
trying to locate the true tripoint
previous visits found various other stuff at what was
then only the most probable or predicted tripoint
location

& about your mo3bamcne find

yes of course
as i immediately realized after posting & checking the
map
but was glad to give you the chance to make your point
better
since the topozone cursors almost never land where
intended anyway
the real crosshairs question is
will this tripoint marker actually be found in the
middle of the road centerline as i suppose
or not quite so well centered as demcot apparently was
judging from the penultimate pic of the slide show
