I love their ability to expand upon a theme I\u2019ve presented, and their willingness to share the results of their efforts with other readers. Today it&#8217;s wonderful to post a map produced by &#8220;Colin&#8221;. He uses my <a href=\"\/blog\/?p=4352\">Flipping Lat\/Long Directions<\/a> article as its starting point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Previously I started with selected long\/lat coordinate and flipped the signs between positive and negative. Then I determined whether the four possibilities resulted in wet or dry landings. I mentioned that I had a hard time finding a base coordinate that resulted in four dry landings. Unfortunately I found only one:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/JbDgKq5uy8j9ccAZ6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">49.348985,69.342041<\/a> = Central Kazakhstan<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/KgbBBajQZEPuQhf47\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">49.348985,-69.342041<\/a> = Qu\u00e9bec, Canada<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/KshCdCptmCaMkp5T7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">-49.348985,69.342041<\/a> = Grande Terre, French Southern and Antarctic Lands<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/oYsY2WFsbJWVYNPN6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">-49.348985,-69.342041<\/a> = Southern Argentina<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Then Colin expanded on this by at least a couple of orders of magnitude. He produced a map where all four possibilities generated a land-based point. With Colin\u2019s permission, here are the results:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howderfamily.com\/graphics\/blog\/colin_four_point_overlap.jpg\" alt=\"Four Points Overlap\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s a beautiful map and unfortunately I\u2019ve had to scrunch it down both to fit into the window and to prevent bandwidth drain, which is a shame because I could spend hours gazing at it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This map also shows clearly how lucky I was to find my example of a quadruple landfall. It\u2019s practically the only instance that isn\u2019t near the poles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks again, Colin!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The skills of the people who read Twelve Mile Circle continuously impress me.
