 </span></blockquote>Okey-doke; I was in the right part of the country with my first <br/>
guess, but I think I&#39;ve got it: Washoe County, Nevada, home of the <br/>
Biggest Little City in the World, Reno, which I visited back in <br/>
August.<br/>
<br/>
It borders Lake and Harney Conties in Oregon, Humboldt, Pershing, <br/>
Churchill, Lyon, and Storey Counties in Nevada, Carson City in <br/>
Nevada, and Placer, Sierra, Nevada, Lassen, and Modoc Counties in <br/>
California. Washoe&#39;s border with Lyon County is interesting in that <br/>
they are on opposite sides of a quadripoint near Carson City, and <br/>
then meet up again at a regular border (i.e., one with length) on the <br/>
far side of Storey County. So the total is 12 counties and one county-<br/>
equivalent (Carson City).<br/>

Incidentally, are you guys familiar with Marty O&#39;Brien&#39;s county-<br/>
counting website? It&#39;s here:<br/>
