i still like this just as much but my nearsightedness had missed the <br/>
fact that these are 2 opposite watersheds descending from that pass<br/>
for i was imagining it was just one river running thru a gap<br/>
oops<br/>
<br/>
now that you have said this tho <br/>
i have to think a purely fiat quadripoint is technically as unlikely <br/>
here as on that mountaintop in france without a little fudging or <br/>
coaxing<br/>
because it is almost inconceivable that 2 sawanaboris should ascend <br/>
to meet at a single precise point along a crest line <br/>
but they would by their nature produce 2 distinct fiat tripoints <br/>
however close together<br/>

&gt; This quad-county point of King - Kittitas - Pierce - Yakima<br/>

&gt; about 4920 ft.  National Forest Development Rd.#70 from Naches <br/>
&gt; Pass Campground runs to within a little over a mile from the <br/>
&gt; quad-point.  The Naches Trail and a jeep road cross the pass and <br/>
&gt; the Pacific Crest trail passes about 1/2 mile west. It appears <br/>
&gt; the King-Kittitas and Pierce-Yakima lines are on a ridge. The <br/>
&gt; King-Pierce line is the beginning of Meadow Creek drainage and <br/>
&gt; the Kittitas-Yakima line is the beginning of Middle Fork Little <br/>
&gt; Naches River drainage. Thus it is an intersection of a ridge <br/>
&gt; line and two drainages all of which are natural features.  <br/>
&gt; I belive that is what David was looking for.<br/>

&gt; David,<br/>
&gt; Check out this one in Washington. It satisfies your requirements <br/>
for an<br/>
&gt; intersection of two divides.  It<br/>
&gt; is the only one I have found in the US.<br/>
