Many moons ago, before the White Man came, (1141 AD to be exact) the Seneca tribe was attacked and all but exterminated. Only a chief, his squaw, a young boy, and five braves survived. They fled the region, looking for another place to grow back into a powerful Indian tribe. After traveling for three months, they finally found a peaceful place to settle (modern day Ithaca, NY). They erected their first longhouse and totem pole, and built other things that are essential to the Indian life. The chief’s wife gave birth to a little papoose, which gave the Indians hope. About six months after settling down, they were visited by an Iroquois Chieftain, who promised them peace and more squaws if they would unite with them. The chief of the Seneca agreed, and the peace pipe was passed.

This story is based off of some historical fact, the Seneca tribe did exist and they did live in Ithaca, NY. They also were part of the Iroquois nation. But it is not known where they first came from or how many there were when they arrived.
This is the long awaited 2011 masterpiece created for local competitions. I have a three competition circuit to go on, and have won the first one. I have spent about $130 in parts, and about 20 hours building, rebuilding, and redesigning.
Enjoy!
Seneca Rocks are formations of Tuscarora quartzite, which is made up of sand deposited 440 million years ago on the edge of an ancient ocean; the formations, about 250 feet thick, rise about 900 feet above the North Fork River in Pendleton County, West Virginia (last county in West Virginia when driving into Virginia on US 33), in the Monongahela National Forest. The light was better than on any of my earlier visits -- a bit of luck, as we had spent most of the day in heavily overcast, even rainy conditions. There were some climbers on a narrow ledge on the outcropping on the right, but I can't make them out in this small image (I didn't notice them when I took the photo, but saw them in the RAW image viewed on the 21.5" iMac.

At the end of the Watkins Glen pier sits a unique pavilion. The Seneca Lake Pier hosts many activities which revolve around New York's deepest freshwater lake (617') which is nearly 40 miles long and is Home of the Lake Trout Derby.

Historical Significance:
1975 was both the UN International Women's Year and the year Junko Tabei shattered the "glass ceiling" of high-altitude mountaineering. This cover represents the pinnacle of 20th-century female achievement, curated by a collector (Filing No. 7292) with a deep understanding of historical symbolism.

Junko Tabei (Japanese: Tabei Junko; née Ishibashi; 22 September 1939 – 20 October 2016) was a Japanese mountaineer, author and teacher. She was the first woman to reach the summit of Mount Everest and ascend the Seven Summits, climbing the highest peak on every continent. Tabei wrote seven books, organized environmental projects to clean up trash left behind by climbers on Everest, and led annual climbs up Mount Fuji for youth affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake. An astronomer named asteroid 6897 Tabei after her and in 2019, a mountain range on Pluto was named Tabei Montes in her honor.

SFD Engine 7A
This is an engine that is owned by Oconee County, but staffed by the Seneca FD. Oconee County uses a county numbering system, giving SFD the station number of 7. Internally to SFD, they refer to their engines as Engine 1, 2 and 3, however on the county system they are referred to as Engine 71, 72, and 73. This is "7A" because it was originally the second out engine for SFD (provided by the county)

Seneca Caverns is a commercial cave located in Riverton, West Virginia. It was discovered in 1742 by German settler Laven Teter, although the Seneca Indians had utilized the cave before that. It was opened to the public as a show cave in 1930. It is billed as the largest caverns in West Virginia.
Basically a Canadian assembled 61 Dodge Seneca station wagon with the back seat taken out and a roller deck installed. This was typical of New Zealand hearses ( converted wagons ) as the full size high roof caddillac style hearses were too expensive to bring in.

An illustration of the 3-D structure of Seneca Valley Virus-001. The structure of a virus that is harmless to normal human cells but an enemy of certain cancer cells has been determined by researchers using an x-ray beamline at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Advanced Photon Source (APS) at Argonne National Laboratory. This new knowledge may help drug designers tweak the pathogen enough so that it can attack other tumor subtypes. Using the University of Chicago’s BioCARS 14-ID beamline at the APS, the researchers from The Scripps Research Institute have, for the first time, solved the three-dimensional (3-D) structure of a virus, known as “Seneca Valley Virus-001,” that can infect specific cancer cells.
