Dunno, but she is a wavering a bit here and there

There is another creek with an unappropriate name. I forget what it's
called, but I remember we don't want to be up it without a paddle.

A few years ago there was a movement to rename Squaw Creek.
They wanted to call it Native American Creek, for political correctness
I suppose. Don't recall what happened to that one.

In your state.

Lets rename Montana to whatever the Flathead Indians called
the area prior to the white man invasion.

Let's just change the name Montana back to whatever the Flathead Indians called the area prior to the white man invasion.

They can call the Ohio whatever they want. I'm still not swimming in it.

Choccolocco Creek, near Choccolocco, Alabama.


To whoever mentioned The Big Rock Candy Mountain, hardly! The Big Rock Candy Mountain the song is about is in Utah, on the Sevier River, just a bit below Marysville. Really!

You're kidding me?? That is amazing that you know that and crazy enough to be spot on!

Leon, This morning, I am so happy my guys who settled Alabama kept the old Creek indian names on the creeks. No way those drinking to much caffeine can start an argument over the names for the creeks leading into Choccolocco except the way they pronounce these tributary creeks, some of which are
Cottaquilla Creek
Eastaboga Creek
Cheaha Creek
Eqoniaga Creek

I've pulled some huge Catfish out of there...ones which would make dinner for a large family. Too bad ya can't eat them

I have Muddy Creek at my back door.

Sure do, I used to camp out there as a Boy Scout in the 1950s.

I can assure you that they called it something different than any of the 25 other tribes that used the area. For most of the State, South of the Missouri, North of the Yellowstone was "the place of the Buffalo".

I live near the confluence of the New York and W. Virginia Rivers which form the Pennsylvania River. But Confluence is about 50 miles away at the spot where the Casselman and Youghiogheny Rivers meet near Laurel Hill Creek.

The big question is when does a creek or stream become a River?????????


The Stonycreek River begins at a spring house in Berlin Pa. and becomes a river somewhere between Berlin and Johnstown ...... where the Little Conemaugh River becomes the Conemaugh River on it's way to Saltsburg where it seems to just change it's name to the Kiskiminetas River; finally flowing into the Allegheny...... which some would call the New York .... but while it does go into NY it returns to it's roots in Penn's Woods!!!!!!

I always wondered that myself. Here in SW Ohio and in Kentucky, rivers tend to be wide and/or deep. North of here...not so much. I went to visit a buddy in Toledo Ohio and along the way I noticed "rivers" passing under the highway. They looked more to me like drainage ditches in a cornfield. Once in Toledo, I went to a park and there was a creek along the walking trail. It was the Ottawa River and it was only about 4 feet wide and 3 inches deep LOL.

LOL, it's more fun without the meds.

Did all younz know the Missouri has been muddy since the beginning?
I'm sure ag erosion doesn't help but even Lewis & Clark stated and I quote
"Dude, this river is muddy all the way up here."
"Man you ain't lied."

unquote

No kidding. Just a cursory examination of that photo indicates at least 6 previous courses that stretch of river has followed at one time or another. Hint: Oxbows never lie.

Oh, HELL yes!

It's almost unfair, so much talent in so sexy a package.
