==Rivers==I'm sure your a helpful character but why do you keep undoing my recent addition of a pic of the moonville tunnel. This is a picture of great relavence, as it is up to date and shows some great details that I feel should be seen. If you feel there is a better place in the article for the link to the pic. or a thumnail let me know. I just don't want all my additions jacked without just cause! Thank you sincerely, djlland. Thanks for all your recent work on river articles! I keep seeing your name on my watch list, improving stuff, good work, yay! Pfly 07:13, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

I did notice that a lot of the articles I was editing had your name in the histories. Keep up the good work too.--ChristopherM 05:43, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] River lengths Ohio

Hi ChristopherM, my compliments also on your recent additions to the river articles. Regarding where I got information on the lengths of some of the streams, if you go to ref note #4 on Moxahala Creek, click on the link for Chapter 10: Major Ohio Watersheds (pdf) (there are two different links on the ref line.) It's got listings for various streams, arranged by watershed, sadly not every stream in the state.

In other news, during my visit to the region for the holiday I've managed to get pictures of Monday Creek and Sunday Creek, of all things, which I'll add once I'm back at my own computer in January (and I'll try and clean up some of the writing in those articles as well). Best wishes, and it's good to have you joining in-- Malepheasant 01:46, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] House Mountain

Got your message on House Mountain. There is no tower between the peaks. If you stand in the pastureland on Bud Hawkins Road to the northwest of House Mountain and look to the southeast towards Blaine and U-S Highway 11W, you'll see the old WBIR-TV tower coming OVER House Mountain, but the tower itself is not located ON House Mountain. I have friends that live off Washington Pike that I am visiting this weekend, and I'll confirm that and get back to you.Csneed 00:41, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Bob Hawkins Road is to the southwest of House Mountain (I was parked nearby on Roberts road when I took the picture). http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=36.10678,-83.788991&spn=0.022468,0.042272&z=15&om=1 Here is a pic I took on the mountain http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:House_Mountain_Tower.jpg. I just assumed it was the tower you mentioned.... -ChristopherM 03:34, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Hey Christopher, just saw your message and just got back from House Mountain yesterday (8/5), with my friend who lives in Coryton. He goes past House Mountain every day along Washington Pike, and first pointed out the discrepancy in the direction. I took pictures from the same, exact location on Roberts Road where you took your picture (damn near got run over by cars, too LOL) halfway between Bud (it is "Bud") Hawkins Road and Shelton Road. A check on the USGS 7.5 minute topgraphical map of that exact location indicates that it is the NORTHWEST side of House Mountain, looking southeast. We then drove down Roberts Road, past Bud Hawkins, coming even and parallel with the west end, then moved to the Southwest part of the mountain, and the only place to take a picture of House from the Southwest, is from U-S 11W at its intersection with Mascot Road. There is a lower ridge that blocks the view of House from the Southwest, until you move farther down from it, and there are no open fields that would support a picture like we both took. I'm with you dude, it DOES look like it's on the southwest end, but because of the mountain's curve, your picture is taken from the Northwest, looking towards the Southeast. I do stand corrected, though. You are right.. there is INDEED a tower on House Mountain, but it is not in the middle of it, nor is it on top of it. The tower is actually on the WEST end of the mountain, and BELOW the summit, which initially gave me the impression that it was behind it. A close examination of House from Washington Pike (due North, looking due South) indicates the tower is about 50 to 100 feet down the north slope of the western end. I checked the FCC registration number for it, and it's registered to American Towers, Inc. That company routinely rents space to cell phone companies. I have pictures supporting all this that I can send to you, if you'll send me your email address. Mine is: csneed@newschannel9.com. I also wrote the "Broadcasting Trivia" entry for House. I'll make the correction about the tower and you can make the correction about the direction.. that way, we'll both be right!
