RidgeRacer Posted November 19, 2020 Report Posted November 19, 2020 Key takeaway from this map: The border between Venango and Crawford county is a really cool step shape. This is the kind of thing I'm going to have to find out more information about. Interesting indeed. I wonder if it's a creek or a river perhaps that sorta snakes back and forth. Please report back with your findings. Quote

RidgeRacer Posted November 19, 2020 Report Posted November 19, 2020 I get the circled part...it appears to run along the ridge. I can't figure the rest of the stairway though. 1 1 Quote
Schif Posted November 19, 2020 Report Posted November 19, 2020 Crawford County, the county to the Northwest of Venango seems to be the culprit for the strange lines. In March 1829 the county was defined as: Beginning at the N. E. corner of a tract in the name of James Gibson on the line of Erie county, being the N. E. corner of [Cussewago Twp.]; thence south to the S. E. corner of a tract in the name of E. Spencer; thence east to the N. E. corner of Thomas Campbell's tract, on French Creek; thence across said Creek to the N. W. corner of A. Humes' tract; thence east along the north line of said tract and F. Rasburg's to the N. E. corner of the last; thence south to the N. W. corner of P. Eck's; thence E. to the N. E. corner of a tract in the name of G. Eck; thence north to the south line of a tract in the name of Israel Israel; thence east, north and west by the lines of sundry tracts to the S. E. corner of a tract in the name of N. Pryer or Ralph Snow; thence north to French Creek; thence across the same to the S. W. corner of a tract in the name of William McArthur's heirs; thence north by the same and donation land to the Erie County line; thence west by the said line to the place of beginning. Looks like they were taking into account tracts of land along the border. 5 1 Quote

GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted November 20, 2020 Report Posted November 20, 2020 (edited) Nationwide 189,000 new cases and over 2,000 deaths today. I talked to my Utah friend and he said isn’t the northeast doing better...no..he said mask usage isn’t that good in Utah. He lives in cottonwood heights.

Bro in laws dad is members of a posh canoe club and I drank mai raid on his tab. Nah we included it in part of our trip. we did 4 days on Maui, 3 on Kauai, and then 1.5ish on Oahu. We stayed with my cousin who was out there for residency while in the army. If I'd go back I'd spend most of my time in Kauai hiking. That place is just magical. Quote
enjoralas Posted November 20, 2020 Report Posted November 20, 2020 (edited) Kauai is the one main island I haven’t made it to yet. There are some hikes there I hope to get back and do. More time on Maui is also needed, and even the Big Island. I wouldn’t need another visit to Oahu except that I have a cousin there now, my kids haven’t been, and I wouldn’t feel right without a respects trip to the Arizona memorial. I badly wanted to hike both Haiku Stairs and Sacred Falls but both are closed and off limits and I wasn’t feeling rebellious enough. My favorite hike on Oahu was Likeke Falls. I miss Hawaii.

This is correct. They said targeted closures as necessary but nothing broadly implemented state-wide (if I remember correctly). Definitely more hopeful with the vaccine news, but it will still be a long ride... Edited November 20, 2020 by toast21602 1 Quote

He and Levine have said no more lockdowns. It’s not feasible without a major government stimulus which isn’t happening. Hey 7,000 cases a day and indoor dining and bars are still open along with schools and kids sports. If you wanna be locked down you can impose a self lockdown. 1 Quote
