Re: *official* Home Glob Thread
Adding 1 more NC County, Franklin, to my glob...now at 16, all within NC.
Re: *official* Home Glob Thread
Ohh, just 2 strategic VA hits until you tie in your original glob -- Sussex and (Southhampton or Greensville). Good luck.Kalisiin wrote:Adding 1 more NC County, Franklin, to my glob...now at 16, all within NC.

I noticed that, too.
Greensville and Dinwiddie would do it, too.
So would Brunswick and Dinwiddie.

Nice when you can do that, ain't it??
Can't wait for a hit in Southampton and Sussex in Virginia, or Greensville and Sussex in Virginia, or Greensville and Dinwiddie in Virgina, or Brunswick and Dinwiddie in Virginia...or Brunswick and Amelia in Virginia.
Two Counties away. Any of five different ways to do it.
Any of those would allow me to hook my new Home Glob to my old Home Glob, and then I take off like a rocket.

Re: *official* Home Glob Thread
Well, it only took me almost two months down here to do it, but I can now add Durham County to my glob....which should now be 22 places.
Interestingly enough, it is a bill I entered and released back in PA that made it to Durham...rather than a bill I entered down here!
My bills are following me!!
Glob now at 22 places, thanks!

Re: *official* Home Glob Thread
Added Chatham County, NC, for a total of 23 places now.
So far all still contained within NC.

Re: *official* Home Glob Thread
Just added Person County, North Carolina, for 24 continuous counties now.
Re: *official* Home Glob Thread
Added Orange County, NC, for 25 Continuous Counties now, still all within NC.
By the way, just noticed this: Forsyth or Rockingham County in NC...would put me into Virginia...but not hook me up yet with my old home glob.
OTOH, a hit in Brunswick County, NC...would add Brunswick, NC plus 11 SC Counties, and 2 Georgia Counties, and get me into Georgia.

Re: *official* Home Glob Thread

I now have 27 Counties in my glob, 25 in NC...and Halifax and Mecklenburg in Virginia.

Re: *official* Home Glob Thread
I used ArcGIS to find those boundaries. I didn't need an account, I just needed to zoom in to the region. I couldn't quite get the VA and NC counties to show at the same time, so I just clicked more/less detail until I had a good idea about where they lined up.

I managed to use it...and get the NC/VA border area to show....and I was right, Mecklenburg does not quite touch Person....but the addition of Halifax covers that. I could also see there that Pittsylvania touches Rockingham but not Stokes in NC...but Henry in VA would touch Stokes in NC
I have Stokes and Guilford in NC...but I do not count Stokes as part of my glob as Guilford and Stokes share only a corner. I don't consider a diagonal corner-touch good enough to include in a glob. Now, on my own map drawing of Virginia, it could be argued that Goochland and Chesterfield don't quite touch enough for inclsuin into a glob, however the ArcGis map shows plenty of area in which they overlap enough to include. I knew this already, which was why I had included them both in my old Home Glob.
I now have LOADS of ways in which I am two Counties away from hooking my old Glob to my new one.
Going East to West - any of the following combos would do it:
1. Southampton and Surry in Virginia
2. Southampton and Sussex in Virginia
3. Greensville and Sussex in Virginia
4. Greensville and Dinwiddie in Virginia barely qualifies, but it does
5. Brunswick and Dinwiddie in Virginia
6. Lunenburg and Dinwiddie in Virginia
7. Lunenburg and Amelia in Virginia
Any of those two-County combos would hook my new Home Glob to my old Home Glob, and allow me a glob extending from Maine to North Carolina.
Brunswick, NC would allow me to add 11 Counties in SC...and two in Georgia.
But I gotta get them first, LOL

Good idea.
It's a nice tool.
Re: *official* Home Glob Thread
Add 3 more to my glob.
A hit in Rockingham, NC hooks up Stokes, NC and Patrick, VA into my glob, and now I protrude into VA in two places.
I am now up to 30 places.
For those interested, I have made myself a Globs Map. The Counties in color are my current home glob. The wite areas are either part of my old home glob...or are close to getting hooked to another glob, or are of significant size on their own. Only the colored-in ones are part of my home glob.
