Man. We gots a ton of folks that know so much more about GPS and GIS and maps and such than I do. Course, that ain't saying much, I'm pretty ignorant of it all. But some great help with my GPS problem. Thanks guys.
I am a bit ticked because when I typed that post, I had THREE coordinates and was going to walk to the 4th coordinate of that 80 rectangle, but thought "Hey, maybe someone can extrapolate this correctly and help me out a little, first". That was it. Then, my dang GPS hiccuped, and burped, and I lost most of 'em! Hard to trust that thing again! Anyway, I had ONE point in the middle of ONE boundary line, and folks all over have figured out the others. At least 4 of you have figured it out, and I appreciate it. It's why I ask stuff around here.
Just this morning, my good buddy.......CPA, Plumber, Electrician, HVAC Expert, Tile Layer, carpenter, atv mechanic, and crack shot........called me. When GPS' first came out, he figured 'em out. So simultaneous to asking y'all, I asked him too.
Taking all that into consideration, here's what I THINK are the four corners of that 80. I'll be there tomorrow, Sunday, Monday, not sure what day.........and I will get two of them for 100% sure, and SE for 99% sure, and I'll be walking SOMEWHERE to the NE corner where white men have seldom been. But before that, if you are bored, check these out and see if this chimes with your realm of reality (I converted some digital to degrees, etc):
NW (the gate)
34 23 50.0
-91 18 42.1
SW
34 23 37.0
-91 18 42.0
SE
34.393919
34 23' 38.1"
-91.304560
91 18' 16.41"
NE
34 23 50.06
34.397239
-91 18 11.14
-91.303094
If those appear correct, I'm going to use that NE coordinate to start trying to walk to.
