<br/>
in any case when the crescent city library closed at 2<br/>
there was nothing lefty to do but try to advance upon my point<br/>
<br/>
first of all<br/>
i will say flat out<br/>
the atmospheric conditions were so soft as not to allow any improvement on <br/>
my earlier class e photo<br/>
so my lack of a camera was not even felt<br/>
<br/>
i was able to recover again the caor terminal marker depicted in topozone & <br/>
mentioned in bus&ss p151 as being<br/>
12 chains from the shore of the pacific ocean<br/>
or perhaps even better<br/>
& as it also says<br/>
212 miles & 28 chains west of cane aka canvor<br/>
& gives nad27 coords<br/>
so my lack of a gps also was not felt<br/>
so far<br/>
<br/>
the marker supposedly dating to 1869 is humble but covered by a high voltage <br/>
wire fence<br/>
a low concrete filled pipestem rising from an even humbler concrete square <br/>
tablet diagonally oriented<br/>
<br/>
it is difficult however to follow caor precisely from the terminal mark to <br/>
the shore<br/>
so any good determination of continental canw aka continental orsw cant be <br/>
made without a gps<br/>
but i made a best guess<br/>
& advanced a few feet into the ocean<br/>
a meaningful gesture i hope which represents some slight improvement over my <br/>
earlier dry footed try<br/>
& a concession of a rare case where gps rocks<br/>
but we are still talking class e & not class d<br/>
<br/>
another interesting insight here<br/>
no time<br/>
this library is closing too<br/>
<br/>
more tomorrow as i am holding for a change in the weather<br/>
<br/>
