hmm
no preferences expressed
i mean
about the cshrhu aka hrhurb
vs angola question that
arose last night
well ok then pals
i
think i myself will prefer to just smoke hrhurb
first
if only to salute
& check it out & get munchies
but to then continue proceeding to
devour the full
angola balogna
followed by argentina
armenia
etc
etc
as alphabetically & literally as possible
granted there
will be a few bumps & crises on that
road too
but still
there is
something about being methodical &
comprehensive & deliberate that is
very appealing in
any case
but seems practically indispensable for such
an
adventure as this
& moreover we can continue on our merry
way
serendipitously as well
with side trips or return visits etc
so
long as we clean up the mess as we go
or in due time anyway
so
swooping in on the cshrhu hrhurb pushpin just to scope
it out
i see
first that it is in a rather smoky or foggy
frame
& then realize that
the strangeness of the position
some 6 km east of the danube may well be due
to
another surprise google malfunction
or else to the fact that there
could still be a
dispute about the position
as jesper originally learned
& reported in 2002
as follows
> HRHUYU - two different version
dependant of who you
asked. We tried HRHUYU(YU) and ended up 500
meters
from the spot, before we were wanted to go any longer.
Anyway the
former Yugoslavian side of the border is
disputed between HR and YU and you
could call it a
triline.
> We actually tried the HR version of
HRHUYU, got lost
and asked a local who took us to the YU version (or
500
meters from there). His warnings and the presents
of a guard left us with no
choise than leave it. We
had no time to check out the HR
version.
& in fact it appears from whal rolf is saying here
below
that no fewer than 3 different positions up to 6
km apart were being
considered at that time
> Border marker south of the Hungarian village
of
Hoduna on the border between Hungary and the Danube
riverside territory
of Karapandza. The territory of
Karapandza has been claimed by both Croatia
and
Yugoslavia. Depending on the future owner of the
territory, the
Croatian-Hungarian- Yugoslav tripoint
will be either 500 m southwest of
the border marker in
the Danube river (this is the more likely option) or
6
km east towards the Yugoslav town of Backi Breg.
which could also
explain why the pushpin is 6km from
the danube area
where the 2 positions
jesper is referring to above are
situated
& in fact michelin for
example is showing 2 different
tripoint positions
one of them at the
region level
& the other at the city level
i kid you not
cant make
up their mind
check it out

fortunately i am just smoking this one for now &
not really trying for an
exact placement until it
comes up alphabetically
which will give any
further clarifications or
mystifications a chance to catch up with us
before
proceeding to make a more deliberate guess
& accordingly my
attachment in this case is not meant
as a tripoint stretching exercise at all
but just to
show the range of the 3 possible positions
but for
now
it is off to
angola
