<div id="ygrps-yiv-1123812910">thanx jack for the wonderfully detailed & exacting message 8437<br/>
including perfect scans of figs 27 & 28 from bus&ss<br/>
a multiple wish come true from our discussion thru message 8304<br/>
<br/>
i am also glad others can at least follow this all now<br/>
& can return as i just did to point 20 in your book<br/>
tri state corners in the united states<br/>
which is also available in pdf at the bp corner corner link<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
but i am also endeavoring to attach a pic here of jc on the very spot<br/>
because i am so excited<br/>
not only by your general confirmation<br/>
but also to realize that this old stone you mention<br/>
is likely the same one embedded within the later monument here<br/>
& might even have been a contemporaneous host to the quadripoint<br/>
<br/>
yes there is some chance we may actually be seeing a living ghost here<br/>
tho i am not holding my breath<br/>
<br/>
for i follow & agree with your every detail<br/>
including the birth of the megapoint in 1828<br/>
until its first reconstitution in 1834<br/>
<br/>
but right there remains the great mystery<br/>
the 2nd enlargement of the indian country in 1834<br/>
from 36d30m as shown in fig 28 to the canadian border as shown in fig 27<br/>
<br/>
this indian country is an elusive entity to research in any case<br/>
involving several different sometimes overlapping territories<br/>
<br/>
at some later date its name changes from indian country to indian territory<br/>
<br/>
but by whatever name this indian entity or nonentity is called<br/>
its 2nd enlargement in 1834 may well have obliterated the megapoint<br/>
if fig 27 is correct & if i am reading it correctly<br/>
<br/>
for so far as i can tell from this & other gleanings<br/>
1834 does appear to be the most plausible date<br/>
when the part of modern oklahoma east of the panhandle<br/>
if not the panhandle itself<br/>
was added to the indian entity west of arkansaw<br/>
<br/>
i follow & agree with all the rest of your data & conclusions<br/>
but i just have a hard time believing that the phantom survived this <br/>
reorganization of 1834<br/>
& a harder time finding any other plausible evidence or date<br/>
for when the combined first & second indian country territories of 1824 & <br/>
1828<br/>
could have been further enlarged by the territory east of the panhandle<br/>
<br/>
now admittedly my conservatism or skepticism or whatever it is<br/>
doesnt support the likelihood that we are seeing a real phantom megarock <br/>
here<br/>
since the old stone is believed to date only from the 1840s<br/>
but i certainly agree we have found & confirmed a real phantom megapoint<br/>
at the very least<br/>
<br/>
of course i wish i could be persuaded that the rock itself is mega too<br/>
<br/>
