There is a really nice place to park here and
there is a NGS BENCHMARK less than 100 yards away, that you can
log. There is a slaughterhouse within sight, so bring your
carcasses. This is a Four Way Stop, so counts as FOUR POINTS in the
INDIANA STOP SIGN GEO-GAME. This is the intersection of two State
Highways, so you get a bonus point.
In theory, The rules for a four-way stop
are simple. The cars stopped in a certain order, and they go in the
same order. In reality:
1. Some people don't exactly stop. So, when
did they arrive at the four-way stop?
2. Some people stop one or two car-lengths behind the stop sign.
When did they arrive at the four-way stop?
3. Sometimes two cars really do stop simultaneously.
4. Driver A thinks that driver B got there first, and driver B
thinks that driver A got there first. This is a simplification of
the next situation.
5. Driver A thinks that driver B got there first. Driver B thinks
that driver C got there first. And driver C thinks that driver A
got there first. From experience, I would say that this, along with
various 4-car permutations, is a very common situation.
6. At least one driver has no clue. This has probably happened
before he reached the four-way stop.
So, when there's doubt about who got there
first, who should go first? Here's a handy rule: "I go first, you
go second, everyone else hesitates." My car is the one with the
dents in each door.
And lastly, remember (This always works):
THE VEHICLE WITH THE BIGGEST TIRES HAS THE RIGHT OF
WAY.
