[ILQSO] On Lake Carlyle...

[Hank Greeb]

Chuck:

Your 2 cents make a lot of sense to me.

But, proper Queen's Englyshe, according to my forth grayde Englyshe 
teechur, would be "that's from where we should be operating."

I like your sediment.  If being on shore at the closest public site the 
"real" corner suffices, and blessed by the powers that be, I'm all for 
it.  I might wander over to the park or marina closest to the corner one 
of the next couple years.  The previous ruling when I was at a four 
corner site was that one should be within 600 feet of the actual 
point.   Any shore line seems farther than 600' from the point, at least 
according to my Rand McNally Road Atlas.
