Resolved Question: If I live an hour away from Madison, Wisconsin?
I might be moving from Virginia to a home in Columbia, Dodge, or Marquette (maybe Dane) counties where I could teach for the Dane County/Madison public school system (High School Spanish). I might teach in other school systems in those specific counties as well.
I know that snow in WI can be brutal, but realistically speaking I would be an hour away from my work. Is it realistic to be such a distance from school considering snow? How are the roads taken care of there? How do people drive in high amounts of snow?
What I really want is a property worth around $120,000 near a lake or a river.
Since we don’t get even a comparable amount of snow in Virginia, I’m left with superficial ideas about how Wisconsinites deal with their snow. If there, per se, is 20 inches of snow on the ground and I live an hour away from school, what would happen? Would I call in a substitute or something like that? Or am I absolutely obligated to come to work?
I prefer not to live in the city.
Thanks!

Resolved Question: do you know about a cave in virginia?
ok, i know this is a long shot, but here goes…….about 9 years ago a friend told a group of us about a cave near catawba va. someone else drove so i wasn’t paying attention to where we were going. we parked on the side of the road, hopped a fence, and walked a short distance into the woods and came to a stream. we followed that for a short distance until it entered a cave. it was very easy to get into, no climbing or anything. once inside there was a large underground lake and you could walk in a little way to a wall w/ a crack at the top. if you climbed the wall and shimmied through the crack you would enter a really big cave.
i guess my question is, does anyone know about this place. don’t write back w/ dixie caverns, this place was on someone’s private property and miles away from d/c. i would love to know where this place was so i could go back. i can’t find the people i went w/ originally, so i can’t ask them. i’m really hoping someone on here might just be from virginia and know what i’m talking about. thx!

Resolved Question: Have you ever researched your hometown?
no matter how large or small?
Here is a little bit of history of my hometown:
In the land now containing the town of Richlands a Native American village probably once stood. As late as 1775, the area containing the future town of Richlands held the line as a western outpost of civilization. Forts and militiamen offered refuge and protection to pioneer families during native tribal raids. Not until December 1792 did civilization push its borders into Kentucky, and the area was no longer a military outpost.
In the 1890’s touted to speculators and investors as the “Pittsburg of the South,” Richlands began with promises for riches and success. The Clinch Valley Coal and Iron Company, a conglomerate of seven companies, purchased extensive holdings in the valley. Historian William Pendleton estimated the Richlands area as measuring two by four miles with five thousand acres of “very valuable land.” Clinch Valley Coal and Iron properties extended through the outlying territories of Indian Creek, Middle Creek, Town Hill Creek, Swords Creek, Dumps Creek, Weaver’s Creek, and Big Creek. The company in turn leased these properties to various people.
The name Richlands evolved from the land grant of 1785 from Patrick Henry, then governor of Virginia, to a John Fowler for a tract of two hundred acres extending from Lake Park (Lick Lot then) to Doran. The grant described the land location as “in the rich lands on both sides of the Upper Fork of the Clinch River.” As pronounced in that document, both words were and are accented equally Rich-lands. Historian Bickley commented that Richlands was “…noted for its fine lands. It is a pretty place, and desirable.”
Therefore this small small country town is pronounced Rich-lands (two syllables)
