Re: SV: atitsi

yes i can certainly understand & agree if you dont
trust the google earth mouse probe altitude values per
se 
nor the exact geocoord registry 
nor the obviously terrible border overlays 
but i think the visual representation of the terrain
itself in virtual 3d may be the only or the most
nearly reliable feature of this program
especially when used in conjunction with the mouse
probe to generally corroborate the vertical
relationships
& indeed it is the one thing about google earth i
might hang my hat on with some confidence

my difficulty with interpolating from this panoramic
pic by rolf is that it doesnt clearly reveal the
summit or the tripoint rock 
so far as i can tell
plus
i havent been able to place that neighborhood within
this neighborhood yet at google earth

so perhaps you can somehow help me to see this 
& what you mean about it

as for your personal memory
well thats different & i would say far better than
anything else we have
if it is a confident recollection

& again i wonder if the group of eye witnesses might
have a consensus

here are the tries again for ready reference in case
you can get their attention
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.culture.discuss.boundary-point/9258
& a fresh attachment showing the terrain in cross
section at eye level 
with my peak guess looking to be only about 50
horizontal meters from your pushpin in any case
