tripointing enthusiasts among us
if thats not redundant
who may have
been enjoying as i have the seemingly
tidy alphabeticity of our borderbase
based google
earth peregrinations up to the present
from afghanistan to
albania & then algeria & now as
far as andorra
all in nice &
more or less orderly sequence
may or may not have noticed the absence from
its
rightful place of one of our 2 newest world class
tripoints
albania
montenegro serbia
which we have only just learned to pronounce or
rather
bastardize for the first time
almjrb
but now that we can say
it somewhat we really should
include it somewhat too
dont you
agree
so attached is a first try for it on google earth
this old
topo doesnt indicate the serbia montenegro
border
http://sunsite. berkeley. edu:8085/ albania/50k/ 11-34-53- 1.jpg
but
does show the ridge line it is believed to follow
junctioning with the old
albania yugoslavia ridge line
border at or
near a guard tower shown at
elevation 2354m
in grid box 13 x 24
or about halfway between intervisible
alcs pillars 28
& 29
& that is the target point i have homed
in on
i believe correctly
but better data wouldnt hurt this try a
bit
for the time being i am relying on depictions no more
credible
than this
http://encarta. msn.com/encnet/ features/ mapcenter/ map.aspx? TextLatitude= 42.5601104807169 &TextLongitude= 20.0949037277279 1&TextAltitude= 10&TextSelectedE ntity=270& SearchEnc= false&MapStyle= Comprehensive& MapSize=Medium& MapStyleSelected Index=0&searchTe xtMap=daravica& MapStylesList= Comprehensive& ZoomOnMapClickCh eck=on&ResultsLi stbox=42. 7528212039807% 3B19.23790910871 06%3B6%3B270% 3BMontenegro+ %28republic% 29%2C+Serbia+ and+Montenegro% 3BMedium% 3BComprehensive
but
these same enthusiasts will surely be impressed by
the disorderly insertion
of our next designated stop
good old cshrhu
or rather bad new
hrhurb
which is now actually the equally unspeakable croatia
hungary
serbia
why we are headed there next i have no idea
but we are
if we continue with the present itinerary
& i hesitate to push
ahead before taking the
opportunity to sleep on it
as well as to ask for
jespers & other opinions of what
really is wanted & what really would
be best
but just to review our box score so far
all correct &
complete to the best of our ability
afghanistan 6
albania 3
algeria
6
andorra 2
so
angola anyone
or must it indeed be cshrhu
aka hrhurb
