UHHHK!! DA, how could you, and when I'm wearing my new jeans! (cuz that's just how my life goes)

/me stiff legs it off the bus, glaring at everyone who's snickering while I make a beeline for the nearest restroom

Next stop: The Allegheny National Forest, where I've rented cabins for everyone.

The Allegheny National Forest is one of 155 National Forests managed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture - Forest Service, and the only one in Pennsylvania. The Allegheny has a rich variety of outdoor activities. There are over 600 campsites, 6 boat launches, 6 canoe access sites, 2 nationally designated wildernesses and many miles of hiking, biking, snowmobiling and ATV trails. The Allegheny National Forest region is rich in cultural resources.Items of interest range from the Seneca Indians to Buckaloons, to the discovery of oil and its effects on development.

Jennifer23 · May 12th, 2012, 07:49 PM

Are we in Richmond yet?

Wolf_angel · May 13th, 2012, 05:08 AM

This is from wikipedia by the way. Just found it fascinating to share.

Richmond is the capital of the Commonwealth of Virginia, in the United States. It is an independent city and not part of any county. Richmond is the center of the Richmond Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) and the Greater Richmond area. The population within the city limits was 204,214 in 2010,[5] with an estimated population of 1,258,251 for the Richmond Metropolitan Area — making it the third largest in Virginia.[6]

Geographically, Richmond is located at the fall line of the James River, 108 miles (174 km) south of Washington DC, 71 miles (114 km) east of Charlottesville, and 54 miles (87 km) west of Williamsburg. Surrounded by Henrico and Chesterfield counties, the city is located at the intersections of Interstate 95 and Interstate 64, and encircled by Interstate 295 and Virginia State Route 288.

The site of Richmond, at the fall line of the James River, had been an important village of the Powhatan Confederacy, and was briefly settled by English colonists from Jamestown in 1609, and in 1610–1611. The present city of Richmond was founded in 1737. It became the capital of the Colony and Dominion of Virginia in 1780. During the Revolutionary War period, several notable events occurred in the city, including Patrick Henry's "Give me liberty or give me death" speech in 1775 at St. John's Church, and the passage of the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom written by Thomas Jefferson. During the American Civil War, Richmond served as the capital of the Confederate States of America. The city entered the 20th century with one of the world's first successful electric streetcar systems, as well as a national hub of African-American commerce and culture, the Jackson Ward neighborhood.
