a dizzying delight<br/>
<br/>
& thanx to it i think breitenstein really is the most probable world champ <br/>
in the oldest working rock category<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
i marvelled also to realize it has 2 marias<br/>
& is twice as high as aves island<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
interesting also that folklore & prima facie evidence make all 3 pierres out <br/>
not as boundary markers exactly but as a sort of tri frontier tokenage<br/>
<br/>
& this if correct makes it seem as tho all 3 of them may well never have <br/>
slipped off line since they were never on line to begin with<br/>
<br/>
so what i think you may really have captured here is a clear example of a <br/>
paleotripoint<br/>
  i mean one from the preboundary era<br/>
hence not literally a tripoint at all but a small frontier triarea<br/>
tho of course today the tripoint has been marked in its their midst<br/>
<br/>
i wonder also<br/>
are the other triple stones such as we have seen at bedenl & byltlv etc<br/>
further evidence vestiges of this tri frontier tripoint tradition<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
but hark & ave<br/>
the monster binge is nearly upon us<br/>
& it will be blowing right thru bedenl by chance<br/>
so could perhaps enlarge upon this & other questions soon<br/>

&gt;<br/>
&gt;The other pictures I promised you:<br/>
&gt;<br/>
&gt;Four pictures of the Dreipeterstein, one of the Spitzstein, ten of the<br/>
&gt;boundary markers along the border marker path (going east, departing at<br/>
&gt;the Breitenstein; and one pretty stone just north-east of the<br/>
&gt;Dreipeterstein), one picture of the line of boundary markers, and an<br/>
&gt;explanatory sign along the path. All to be found in the photos section,<br/>
&gt;together with those of the Breitenstein I posted earlier (the folder is<br/>
&gt;now called Boundary Lorraine � Alsace).<br/>
&gt;<br/>
&gt;Attached here you will find a map, scanned from an IGN Top 25 map, with<br/>
&gt;touristical marks (no. 3714 ET, La Petite Pierre �<br/>
&gt;Niederbronn-les-Bains, Parc Naturel R�gional des Vosges du Nord).<br/>
