<div id="ygrps-yiv-250709283">in 3721 harry asked & is finally answered<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
<blockquote><span title="ireply"> &gt; On another occassion I tried to visit the<br/>
<br/>
&gt; Overijssel/Gelderland/Germany(=Nordrhein-Westfalen) tripoint (may I call<br/>
<br/>
&gt; that a tripoint?).<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
 </span></blockquote>of course you may because it is a tripoint<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
we have been calling ones just like this on the canadian american border  international secondary tripoints  or  binational tripoints <br/>
<br/>
also hybrids mongrels etc<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
<blockquote><span title="ireply"> &gt; But I had to go through a cornfield or a meadow with big brown cows in it;<br/>
<br/>
&gt; the family and I decided it was better to come back in winter..<br/>
<br/>
&gt; So that was a failed attempt on this &quot;split-double tripoint&quot; ;-(<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
&gt; Are there any &quot;split-double-split quadripoints&quot;?<br/>
<br/>
&gt; Does this make any sense?<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
 </span></blockquote>yes even this makes sense at least 2 ways that i can think of<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
first when bedenl was the bedemonl quadricountry point in the time of neutral moresnet  i believe that the moresnet sliver of it was actually divided for a brief period following wwi into the smaller slivers of kelmis & eupen malmedy in such a way that either a quintinational point or a quadrinational quintipoint was formed  & even for some time after both of these parts of moresnet were absorbed into belgium following separate plebiscites bedenl remained a trinational quintipoint &or trinational quadripoint owing to these subdivisions<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
& second there are several quadricounty points on state lines in the usa such as at cone  that doubly well named northeast corner of colorado on the colorado nebraska state line  where 3 counties of nebraska meet a 4th county of colorado  or such as at the tristate point gancsc  where north carolina contributes 2 of the 4 counties  or finally such as at the encrypted 6th principal meridian point jack just mentioned on the kansas nebraska line  where each state contributes 2 of the 4 counties  etc <br/>
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
but did this make any sense<br/>
<br/>
