[PaQSO] County Line Ops

Wow.. I really opened up a big can of worms with my simple question about the CL definition last weekend.   ;-)

At least, it has started a nice conversation.

Maybe a minority, but I agree with you.  I've always
felt that county line operation was a bit questionable,
at best.  In many cases, it's not very clear where the
line really is!  Is it right at the sign that says,
"Potter County - God's Country" or is it where the
pavement changes or is it at the township sign or
is it...  well, you get the idea.

Of course, I was gone for over 20 years and just came
back in 1997.  By that time, county line operation
was "the thing."  So, I just bit my tongue and got
on with operating.  :-)
