Course Correction

Here are some of the course descriptions given in several deeds I am reading for the latest project. They are all from properties on the same street.

I wrote a caption for what I imagine was in the attorney’s mind at the time they were transcribed.

You are welcome to come up with your own captions.

1.) You know it could go either way. I’m not sure. It’s your choice.

2.) This one goes really, really northeast. A northeast overdose.

3.) The first one is definitely going west. There’s no stopping it. However, I’m confused about the second one. It could go either way.

Both the E & W keys are in close proximity to the S key on the QWERTY keyboard. The typist could have had jumpy ring and middle fingers. Have you run the deeds back to origin to search for the likely typo?

Hi Peter, That's a good idea. Thank you. Several of the deeds on the block are written this way, and all of them miss closing by a lot. My plan was to fit them together geometrically and go look for the stone bounds that are supposed to be at nearly every corner.
