Papa-Bear-NYC Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 (edited) I spent a good part of the day walking along the sometimes lovely, oftentimes seedy Brooklyn waterfront from Bay Ridge to Redhook. I found 11 out of 22 total, and 8 out of 18 for eligible marks. Not bad. KV0563/1952/Yes/No * KV0562/1952/Yes/No * KV0561/1952/Yes/No KV0565/1934/No/No KV0567/1934/No/No KV0568/1934/No/No ** KV0569/1934/No/No ** KV0570/1952/Yes/No * - I have marked these as FTFs. They have what looks like redundant entries for the monumentation. See what you think. I'll go by whatever the judges decide. ** - The monumentation date on the NGS datasheets for these marks (1934) is wrong. It should be 1909, but as per the rules I put down what was there.

Unfortunately, we didn't have the opportunity to hunt for more, including old drill holes. And, my sister's friend no longer runs the Lobster Boat Tours. Oh, well. Oh, well. We had a great time.

2oldfarts (the rockhounders) Posted July 17, 2006 Author Share Posted July 17, 2006 ONLY 1 this weekend & it is not even a 1st to recover. It is actually a 1921 monument (based on others in this series), but the 1st log makes it a 1934. We graciously accept the 2 points for recovering it. FQ0265 / 1934 / N / N John Link to comment

Papa-Bear-NYC Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 I was in northwest Maine last week hiking and peak bagging along the Canadian border. I found a number of the old boundary monuments (1845) and International Boundary Commision (IBC) triangulation stations (1915-1916) on or near the border. They illustrate two important parts of the process. 1) In 1842 a treaty was signed between the US and Canada for this part of the boundary, and in 1845 a joint group from both countries monumented the border. 2) In 1915-16 a full triangulation was done of the complete line and the coordinates of every monument was established. 7/10 plain old disk in Rangeley PF0236/1958/No/No 7/12 QH0521/1845/No/Yes < earliest in Oxford county - 10 pount bonus QH0514/1916/No/No < IBC triangulation station "FISH" QH0512/1845/No/No 7/13 QH0373/1916/No/No < IBC triangulation station "MORAN" QH0360/1845/No/No QH0370/1845/No/No QH0374/1845/No/No QH0363/1916/No/No < IBC triangulation station "DUTCH" QH0379/1845/No/No QH0364/1916/No/No < IBC triangulation station "DENNISON" 7/14 QH0260/1915/Yes/No < IBC triangulation station "LAYTON", FTF 7/15 QH0265/1845/No/No QH0268/1845/No/No QH0267/1915/No/No < IBC triangulation station "BUMP" Link to comment
