& with a salute for the goods<br/>
gore is a standard term evidently only in nh & vt<br/>
or at least nowhere else i have ever heard of<br/>
& this is probably owing to their famous interstate gore at vtne<br/>
<br/>
it is used more in textile manufacturing than geography tho<br/>
for any such flaplike doodle<br/>
<br/>
a similarly triangular proruption occurs at western maryland<br/>
elsewhere in the appellation mountains<br/>
where it is called simply western maryland<br/>
with nonchalance probably due to the already incredible shape <br/>
of the rest of maryland<br/>
where they probably didnt even think it was strange enough to <br/>
need a special name<br/>
<br/>
also in northwest british columbia<br/>
where i think they also dont yet have a special name for it <br/>
because they probably havent yet even discovered its existence<br/>
somewhere behind an inaccessible glacier<br/>
<br/>
& do you suppose your friend means claves when he says <br/>
stand alone areas<br/>
for that would be awesome wouldnt it<br/>
<br/>
a minor league but just as exuberant bengal of the north woods<br/>
dangerous only during hunting season<br/>
if they existed in such large numbers as he suggests<br/>
or what do you think this means<br/>
<br/>
could a stand alone walk about be far behind<br/>

&gt; There&#39;s lots of evidence of map screw ups around here.  New <br/>
Hampshire and<br/>
&gt; Vermont both have a fair number of what we call gores (I don&#39;t <br/>
know if that&#39;s a<br/>
&gt; standard term or not).  They are places that aren&#39;t in any of the <br/>
towns.  When<br/>
&gt; the old &quot;20 paces from the old oak to the stone wall, then <br/>
straight to the red<br/>
&gt; mill&quot; kind of boundaries were turned into something more <br/>
concrete they ended up<br/>
&gt; missing some spots.  The most recent one was found only <br/>
about a decade ago when<br/>
&gt; someone contested his tax bill.  They surveyed and found out <br/>
he wasn&#39;t in<br/>
&gt; either of the two towns!  Of course they quickly put him in one, <br/>
can&#39;t have<br/>
&gt; someone avoiding taxes, but some of them are large enough <br/>
that they&#39;ve been<br/>
&gt; left as stand alone areas.  No wars over them yet though (&lt;:.<br/>
