ba mẹ à :) con xin lỗi ba mẹ nhiều lắm, trước giờ con chỉ toàn biết đua đòi theo người ta, bắt ba mẹ mua cái này, cái kia, con chưa bao giờ biết ba mẹ phải khổ cực vì con như thế nào :)
Đúng như lời người ta nói :"người cha lúc nào cũng dành cho con cái tốt đẹp, luôn muốn con mình hơn người ta :) còn người mẹ thì luôn mong muốn con mình hạnh phúc, thành đạt để trở thành trụ cột của gia đình sau này". Con xin lỗi ba mẹ rất nhiều, ba mẹ à :(( Con muốn kiếm thật nhiều tiền để phụ giúp ba mẹ trong việc xây dựng gia đình lắm, nhưng 1 thằng nhóc 15 tuổi đầu với 2 bàn tay trắng trong tay thì làm được gì đây hã ba, mẹ?? :)
Đã không giúp được gì cho ba mẹ rồi, mà con còn tự hủy hoại sức khỏe của mình bằng những điếu thuốc nữa :(( nhưng con đã lỡ rồi, làm sao con bỏ được đây :( mặc dù con đã rất cố gắng, nhưng bao nỗi buồn nó cứ bao vây con :( con không chịu nỗi cái thử thách đó được......
Ba à, con cám ơn ba thật nhiều, vì muốn nuôi sống cả gia đình này mà ba phải bất chấp tính mạng để đi làm công việc nguy hiểm đó, con ước gì có thể biến thành đôi tay chai sần của ba :) để con có thể thay thế ba làm tất cả.....
Còn mẹ, mẹ ơi, con mong mẹ tha lỗi cho thằng con bất hiếu này :) con luôn hỗn hào với mẹ, luôn vét sạch túi tiền của mẹ, để đi chơi, đi đá banh, hút thuốc, rượu chè với đám bạn :(( rồi trong những ngày mưa gió, con vẫn cắm đầu đi chơi, mặc cho mẹ ở nhà lo lắng cho con........
Nói chung thì......con trưởng thành rồi ba mẹ à :)
con đã dần hiểu công ơn của ba mẹ
con đã dần hiểu trách nhiệm của con là gì
con đã dần hiểu.....những việc từ trước tới giờ con làm là sai
con đã dần hiểu.......
mặc dù con vẫn muốn trở lại từ lúc còn nằm trong bụng mẹ
để khi con ra đời và lớn lên........con sẽ không đi theo con đường sai trái này
CON XIN LỖI VÀ CÁM ƠN BA MẸ NHIỀU LẮM

SHADED ELEVATION MAP
This map depicts the topographic relief of Ohio's landscape using [shades] to represent elevation intervals. The topography has been digitally shaded from the northwest slightly above the horizon to give the appearance of a three-dimensional surface. The map is based on elevation data from the United States Geological Survey's National Elevation Dataset; the grid spacing for the data is 30 meters. Lake Erie water depths are derived from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administation data. This digitally derived map shows details of Ohio's topography unlike any map of the past.

C = Chillicothe
G = Grand Lake
S = Springfield
V = Circleville
W = Wheelersburg
Some of Ohio's more striking topographic features are outlined on the [map seen here] and described in the following paragraphs.
1 Glacial boundary - Continental ice sheets several thousand feet thick sculpted about two-thirds of Ohio's landscape and, upon melting, deposited material formerly incorporated in or beneath the ice. This boundary marks the southernmost known extent of glacial ice in Ohio. Topography in the glaciated portion of Ohio is smooth compared to the highly dissected, unglaciated part of Ohio. The glacial boundary in eastern Ohio is farther northn than the boundary in western Ohio because the erosion-resistant bedrock hills in eastern Ohio impeded southward glacial advances. The glacial boundary in central and southwestern Ohio typically represents the maximu advance of Illinoian-aged (13,000 - 300,000 years ago) glaciers. The east-west oriented boundary in northeastern Ohio represents the maximum advance of Wisconsinan-aged (14,000 - 24,000 years ago) glaciers.
2 Illinoian till areas - Thin till (an unsorted mixture of glacially deposited clay, silt, sand, and cobbles) of Illinoian age is at the surface in a 10- to 40-mile wide belt between the Illinoian and Wisconsinan maximum advances. Terrain in this belt is typically transitional between the generally flat Wisconsinan till plains to the north and west and the dissected, unglaciated bedrock to the southeast. The surface deposits in this belt are characterized by loess (wind-blown silt) over thin till on ridge tops and thick colluvium (weathered bedrock) on slopes.
3 Ohio's highest elevation - An upland known as the Bellefontaine Outlier covers portions of Champaign, Logan, and Union Counties in west-central Ohio. The outlier is an erosional remnant of Devonian-aged limestone, dolomite, and shale that lies 25 miles west of the main outcrop belt of Devonian-aged rock in Franklin and Delaware Counties in central Ohio. The outlier is mantled by up to 160 feet of till, which adds to the outlier's height. Campbell Hill, the highest elevation in Ohio at 1,549 feet above sea level, is on the outlier. The higher, more resistant bedrock of the outlier impeded the southward-advancing glaciers, causing them to split into two lobes, the Miami Lobe on the west and the Scioto Lobe on the east. Ridges of thick accumulations of glacial material, called moraines, drape around the outlier and are distinct features on the map. Some moraines in Ohio are more than 200 miles long. Two other glacial lobes, the Killbuck and the Grand River Lobes, are present in the northern and northeastern portions of the state.
4 Eastern Continental Divide - A continental drainage divide extends east-west across northern Ohio. Surface water north of this divide flows northward to Lake Erie, eventually over Niagara Falls into Lake Ontario, and into the Atlantic Ocean. Surface water south of the divide flows south to the Ohio River, the Mississippi River, and eventually into the Gulf of Mexico. The divide follows the crests of glacial moraines in western Ohio. In north-central and northeastern Ohio, the divide follows bedrock-controlled hills and glacial valleys containing thick glacial lake deposits.
5 Ancient Lake Maumee shoreline - About 14,000 years ago, the last continental ice sheet retreated northward across Ohio. The St. Lawrence Seaway was blocked by glacial ice, and glacial meltwater created lakes in front of the ice. A large lake, called Lake Maumee, formed in the general position of Lake Erie, but extended over a much larger portion of northwestern Ohio. Ancient Lake Maumee water levels were about 230 feet higher than modern Lake Erie, and drained westward into the Wabash River system. The shoreline of ancient Lake Maumee had a series of sandy beaches and beach scarps, much like portions of Lake Erie today. The ancient sandy beaches are visible on the map as long, thin ridges on the surrounding flat lake terrain. Other beach ridges formed as the water level receded in stages before rising to its current level of approximately 572 feet above sea level. Lake Eries is the shallowest of the Great Lakes and has three basins: the western (averages 30 feet in depth), central (averages 60 feet in depth), and eastern (not shown on the map; averages 80 feet in depth; maximum depth is about 212 feet).
6 Ohio's lowest elevation - The lowest surface elevation in Ohio is about 455 feet above sea level and is located where the Ohio River exits the state at the extreme southwestern corner of Ohio.
7 Teays River Valley - The ancient Teays River flowed across Ohio before and during the earliest Ice Age. A north-south trending remnant of the Teays River Valley in south-central Ohio is distinctly visible on this map. From its headwaters in North Carolina, the Teays River flowed northwest across Virginia and West Virginia and entered Ohio in the area of present-day Wheelersburg. The Teays River cut a wide, curving valley as it flowed northward through southern Ohio. This valley, partially filled with clay, silt, and sand, contains only a small stream today and remains clearly visible on the map as far as Chillicothe. North of Chillicothe, the valley is buried beneath hundreds of feet of glacial sediments but can be traced using well data to Circleville; the buried valley then turns northwestward, passing beneath Springfield and Grand Lake and into eastern Indiana. In parts of western Ohio, the valley lies beneath 700 feet of glacially derived material. The valley commonly is about 200 to 300 feet deep and has steep to near-vertical walls.
8 Allegheny Escarpment - Beyond the glacial boundary, the Allegheny Escarpment of southern Ohio marks a distinct change in topography. The land surface changes abruptly from the flatter, lower terrain in the west, which is underlain by soft carbonate rocks, to the higher, steeper terrain in the east, which is underlain by shale and sandstone. To the north, the escarpment was affected by glaciation, making it a less distinct topographic feature. The Allegheny Escarpment corresponds to a slight increase in the dip (tilt) of the rock layers as they descend eastward into the Appalachian Basin.
9 Surface lineament - A west-northwest trending lineament (a linear topographic feature on the Earth's surface) across east-central Ohio is distinctly visible on the map. The Walhonding River and a portion of the Muskingum River flow in portions of this linear topographic depression. Although poorly understood, this feature, which is referred to as the Coshocton Fracture Zone, has been attributed to fractures in the surface bedrock that are possibly related to faults present deeper in the subsurface.
10 Flushing Divide - A sharp, north-northeast trending, ridgelike feature in eastern Ohio is the Flushing Drainage Divide, named after the Belmont County village of Flushing, where it is well developed. Surface water west of the divide flows westward into a series of low-gradient creeks, such as the Sandy, Conotton, and Stillwater, and then to the Tuscarawas River. Surface water east of the divide flows eastward into a series of high-gradient, rapidly down-cutting creeks that flow into the Ohio River. The ridge is at an elevation of about 1,260 to 1,280 feet above sea level and separates two old Teays-era drainage basins.

With this tool, cartographers could measure linear distances on maps by running the tiny wheel along the line between two points. Then they calculated the actual ground distance using the dial reading and the map’s scale.

My analog "GPS" system for our annual holiday lights ride. It's a long route with a lot of curves and I wanted directions, even after doing a pre-ride. While I've taped maps and directions to my windshield or dash before, I added a flex-neck LED light for this night outing.

Boat Log Sept 10th 2011 – Southern Small Detached Reef
Diving the detached reefs was on my “ Diving To do” list I suppose because it was close the barrier of the reefs yet offered sheer wall diving with the possibility better than normal visibility , plus I was hoping to reacquaint myself with the silver tip sharks which I have previously only seen around the coral sea atolls.
We parked for the night before behind Log Reef and early in the morn we ventured out to the coral sea thru the Providential channel . Incidentally this is the channel Captain Cook used to re-enter the protected waters behind the barrier after being belted around by the severe Pacific ocean swell over 200 years ago, so I felt a bit of history as we headed into the 1 1/2 meter swell .
Next question was how the hell do we anchor??? It’s a smallish triangular reef with a protected nth westerly side , but even it had sheer walls that dropped straight down 80 meters. Fortunately there was a small sand patch on top in one spot as shown in the pic (A)
on the edge of the reef and which was just deep enough for me to nose into and secure the anchor…just holding precariously as shown in pic (B).
The light 15knots of wind was enough to keep our boat away from the reef (pic C)and we jumped in for an amazing dive just before low tide .
Drifting along at 25-30me we were delighted with a procession of glorious 2-3 me Silver Tip Sharks and a couple of greys. Vis was about 20-25me, maybe not what we had hoped for but still good for silhouettes looking up. Our safety stop was 30 minutes of fun with all the nemos and interesting stuff on the reef top and when we climbed back on the boat we both felt exhilarated by our first real wall dive for a long time. So much so that I made the decision to stay the night dangling from the wall with the anchor alarm on in the hopes we could get a high tide slack water dive in the morning before the trade winds picked back up……Big mistake Rob…by 9pm the wind had calmed and the weight of 95meters of sagging chain dragged us to the reefs edge and the current started pushing us over the reef. All I needed was it to jam the chain in a wall crevis and i was really in the poo.
I really dislike moving the boat thru reefy channels in the night but thanks to my saved track and Raymarine GPS were able to beat a hasty retreat without incidence to Log reef….it really makes me wonder how captain cook did all this with no charts and worst of all …no GPS!!!!
