That would be the northwest. And what would be considered the origin point of those who did cross over?

Since you were talking about the naming in the New England area which include Woodstock it is a combination of tribal indigenous, French, English, and along with other Anglo European groups
The European contingent had a fondness for naming and renaming and let's face it took what wasn't originally theirs to begin with as the dominant settlers moving from east to west though technically late to the party and promptly made up for lost relative time.

Since you were in Woodstock, VT did you visit the Marsh, Billings, Rockefeller National Historic Park?

When I was studying geology at University the latest information was that the origin was Siberia. This seems to be consistent with current DNA based evidence

My Wife and I went to a lot of the parks up there. Washington seems correct, but honestly not sure of all the names.

Conquest and and conquerors rights are real things. Same everywhere. It has always been this way. I have no problems with that.

you should read up on Marsh. if it wasn't for his writings on conservation* and a little help from some friends VT would have been completely buzz cut for its resources (and there were those who tried hard too). Billings was a heck of a lawyer (so few there are) did his job so well they named a city in Montana after him plus what he did to continue the the idea of stewardship. after that the Rockefellers who maintained that area further and then put it in the hands of the NPS.

there is a bit of history up there as to why you were able to get that neat pic. you know "more then meets the eye"

*Between the 1830s and 1860s he developed a philosophy of land stewardship which laid the foundation for the conservation movement in the United States with the 1864 publication of Man and Nature, or the Physical Geography as Modified by Human Behavior. pretty deep read.

don't forget that other land mass south of todays political boundaries. quite well connected for travel.

Now that I can't ski anymore, I hate snow. Snow Belongs on the top of mountains in the background of my landscape images. That is as close as I want to get to in from now on.

Now, you should move Steve. Why live in that?

My Step Father was raised in a small town in Illinois, Bradford. The tag line for his local newspaper was "The hottest news from the coldest town in America". I don't know if that was true, but it was cold and it snowed al lot there. He used to say that the map of the U.S. was an IQ test. You could tell how smart someone was by where they were born, and where they ended up. Both he, and his brother got medical degrees and ended up in beachfront homes in high end California cities, where the weather was good all year round. Never too hot, never too cold, and no snow ever ever ever.

He was just joking, but maybe a bit serious too.

The green mountain state wasn’t always so green (and colorful in the fall). In the not so distant past 70-80% of the state was without the forests so prevalent today.

Interesting article. I am so glad they managed to save the trees for us and future generations. Thanks for posting.

What does any of that have to do with where one lives?

I have business in, and travel to, very disparate places and climates. They range from the bush in tropical Africa, to remote artic locations including Siberia. That is the adventure, explore, challenge side of life. Way different than where one lives.

I agree, a good challenge never hurt anyone. True even if you die doing it. Choices...
