NEWS FLASH - The Blue Ridge Mountains and the Shenandoah River are not only in Virginia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shenandoah_river "The Shenandoah River is a tributary of the Potomac River, approximately 150 mi (241 km) long, in the U.S. states of Virginia and West Virginia. The principal tributary of the Potomac, the river and its tributaries drain the central and lower Shenandoah Valley and the Page Valley in the Appalachians on the west side of the Blue Ridge Mountains, in northwestern Virginia and the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia." Here is a nice map that shows where the river flows: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Shenandoah_watershed.png It amazes me how someone so intelligent can be so unwilling to admit when they are wrong.
