    1. platting with two meandering lines in a row
    2. Gordie Fears
    3. Hi, I have not used the software in a couple years and have started using it again. As I have tried to plat patents in the Bush River Mountain Creek area of Prince Edward, I have come across descriptions with two meandering lines in a row. For example, Creed or Greed Haskins 400 acres patent in Patent Book 18 page 106 is described (both sides of Mountain Creek of Bush River) as follows: "Beginning at a corner poplar on the lower side of Mountain Creek . . . thence south eight degrees east one hundred and thirty seven poles to corner red oak on a small branch thence down the said branch as it meanders to Mountain Creek aforesaid and thence up the said creek as it meanders to beginning" Do you estimate the first meandering line say Lm S; 40P? Then the final meandering line would just be Lm ; ;. Any other suggestions? Thanks for your assistance. Gordie Fears
