<br/>
per your query above<br/>
i believe none of these are really claves by any exacting definition<br/>
tho one does look like a true international island <br/>
& all the rest are probably authentic international tongues of land<br/>
<br/>
as you probably also realize <br/>
both of these categories comprise quite different & more <br/>
common sorts of things than true claves<br/>
<br/>
but many such land forms have been previously ogled here <br/>
by many members<br/>
& often misidentified as claves of some sort<br/>
so evidently it is easy to become excited & confused by them<br/>
<br/>
but if they are to be called or thought of as claves at all<br/>
they probably should be specially distinguished <br/>
by calling them for example pyritic claves<br/>
just to forewarn & forestall against any devaluation of true claves <br/>
by their inadvertent commingling<br/>
<br/>
& as you probably also know <br/>
international golf courses <br/>
no less than international airports or buildings or streets etc <br/>
have been at least mildly fascinating to many members <br/>
til ross holed a tricountry golf course in message 5528<br/>
perhaps jading us forever on things that are merely binational <br/>
<br/>
but i think binational golf courses are both cool & rare enough to <br/>
merit a special list<br/>
& they are probably much rarer & thus perhaps more fun to <br/>
collect than international islands or tongues of land alone<br/>
<br/>
however this occurrence of all 3 of these phenomena in one <br/>
place may well be unique<br/>
& i agree it is probably real <br/>
& a remarkable find in any case<br/>
<br/>
looks like your lovely daughter is becoming a regular border <br/>
freak too</div>
