great research & spotting by both of you guys
& fortunately this tripoint is still so uncertain & therefore so
technically split & compromised as to be not yet worth the candle

wouldnt you agree

but talk about point splitting & good times
the better time will be had imo in redoubling the effort to find both
halves of that other funny tripoint jesper just split cleanly into 2
halves yesterday & ran that other funny river clear thru it
just kibitzing but there you have it from goshen
