The Mason & Dixon Line: Part 1 

The 3 requirements of a Dakota Bricker adventure: a history lesson, a weather event (rain, snow, wind-mini tornado), and physical activity (biking, hiking, kayaking).

So much struggling for a mile. I mention this because you have to remember that Mason and Dixon were not alone like you two. They had their equipment for surveying, supplies, and other people. To move all of this they had to use wagons, be it hand or horse drawn. Can you imagine having to move through the forest of the Iroquois with all that just to draw a line on a map. And that line may I add was not off by much in many places by today's modern GPS. And poor Mason thought the forest or the natives would kill them all.

Fantastic work, Dakota! Very glad you kept your promise & didn't fall off the cliff again.

The twelve mile circle was measured from the steps of the Courthouse in New Castle Del. In @ 1680s Wm Penn sold what was called the Nottingham Lots . There were 37 lots , one lot # 30 (500 Acres was given by Wm Penn as Common Land for a Meeting House to be located on it. It was built around 1701 and is still being used at times. Located at the junction of Rt272 and Rt 273 Chrome , Md. The lots ran from the North East creek west to the Octorara creek. My Gr Gr Gr Gr Grandfather Randal Janney bought lots 15 and 34 .. All most all the land ended up below the Mason Dixon Line in Cecil Co. Md

after listening to the song sailing to Philadelphia which tells the tale of mason and Dixon. I wanted to learn more about them and the general history and stumbled across you're channel. Very informative and I love the adventure that comes with it thank you!

Enjoyed both videos.😊 Learning experience for me. I am a daughter of Almost Heaven, West Virginia Mountains. My family predates ancestors predates The Civil War. Before Virginia split in to two different states. My great grandmother had Civil War Uniforms from our relatives that fought in The Civil War. We have the Tin Types. I'm getting off the subject a small bit!! Back in 1968 my family and a friend went to visit a stone called "The Fairfax Stone".. wondering if it might be of interest to you. This information that I'm giving you is what I found on Wikipedia. Since it was a number of years ago since my family visited and details are a bit hazy. Fairfax Stone Historical Monument State Park is a West Virginia state park commemorating the Fairfax Stone, a surveyor's marker and boundary stone at the source of the North Branch of the Potomac River. The original stone was placed on October 23, 1746[3] to settle a boundary dispute between Thomas Fairfax, 6th Lord Fairfax of Cameron and the English Privy Council concerning the Northern Neck of Virginia. It determined the proprietorship and boundaries of a large tract of mostly unsurveyed land in the English colonies of Maryland and Virginia. (Wiki). Thank you again for sharing these interesting Videos !!😊

Excellent 2 part series. The Mason Dixon line actually goes through a pal of mine parents property.

I'm more confused after watching it, . . Than before I started. But I felt like I met 2 new friends! I'm your BRANDON OUT WEST

Very informative on things I driven by and seen most of my life and wondered about . Makes me think about the kings marker stone just a few miles south of the Maryland line from where you where at.

Sorry for typo..😉

Let's go Brandon

When will Part 2 be posted?

I'm enjoying your video but NOT all your giggling! Such a turn off!
