day 5<br/>
<br/>
the name of this town fairly commanded a special bp stop to me by suggesting <br/>
as it does so vividly a trypointing stadium or theater where one can act out <br/>
ones tries in front of a similarly appreciative audience<br/>
<br/>
& i do in fact have an incredible new kind of try to report this morning <br/>
having just realized in my sleep that i actually bagged the several <br/>
westernmost points in california over the weekend & not for the 1st but 5th <br/>
time & did it in absolutely complete unconsciousness<br/>
<br/>
thats right not only no film in the camera but no bulb in the cranium either<br/>
<br/>
& i have only these recollections<br/>
first of descending the coastal hills toward the beach just south of <br/>
capetown ranch to claim a retrospective class d visit to continental caw at <br/>
the tip of the cape there<br/>
& second of seeing a very memorable because so incredible trompe loeil <br/>
sandcastle shaped island off the coast there that is probably dry caw class <br/>
d also<br/>
& finally of the ocean normally visible from the heights there clear to <br/>
everyones land & hence easily including an unfocused class d visit to <br/>
absolute caw 3nm beyond the coastal islands<br/>
<br/>
i repeat<br/>
all were performed last weekend & 4 other times in recent years in ignorant <br/>
bliss of where i actually was<br/>
<br/>
so my question is<br/>
does my innocence make the point count more or less<br/>
<br/>
for it is true that many people are making points all the time without <br/>
knowing it<br/>
<br/>
so why should my making mine without knowing it be so special<br/>
<br/>
just because i care & they dont i guess<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
anyway<br/>
continuing with the nominations for visit of the year i would add this caw <br/>
or these caws collectively to those already given in class d<br/>
<br/>
& in class c the envelope please<br/>
adesfrw<br/>
orc<br/>
glhemaokpa<br/>
& that first gcebe point i cant remember the name of<br/>
<br/>
well more on that later<br/>
<br/>
on the scent of a couple of termegapts aka quadricounty points at the moment<br/>
