I don't understand the point of omitting the monument calls from a description.
I also think you misunderstood the example. We're talking about a straight line here, with a monument online between the end points.
Thence along xxxxx North 300.00 feet to a 5/8 inch iron rod; thence continuing along xxxxx North 300.00 feet to a ....
please don't try to reinvent common language, keep it dead simple.

Most of the time, when you quote the drawing being an attachment to the property description, the drawing will be recorded along with the deed or other document the description is included.
It can also be helpful for the drawing to be on the same size of paper as you description.

:good: that's how I'd do it.

Like foggy said: PASSING B-)
:good: :stakeout: :good:
Yeah, just "passing" adding 'through' or 'over', or 'by' is just extra, unnecessary language, simplify!!!
🙂 Agreed leaves no doubt. Simple is better. Let the attorneys screw it up.

I actually find that a little confusing. Normally only have a new "Thence" at a bearing change. I like to see the passing calls in a cumulative total then a final "in all" or "a total distance of xxx" to be clear.
That's how I've always done it.
Neither. You go TO the iron rod, which is the end of the course. Then you begin the next course.

> Pass is something you wave at or play football with. Past PASSED is something you went by or already did. Neither word belong in a property description IMHO.
Past is a function of time.
JMHO, why not stop and have a lookabout at the point. Thence North 300 feet; thence continue North 300 feet.
