Cayugad vs. Cayuga
OK Dave, you're Cayugad here and on Beartooth, and Cayuga on Modern Muzzleloader. Entertain us with the story. What's a Cayugad anyway? I know there's a Cayuga Co. in New York. By the way, Mapquest can't even find your address.

I think part of the story is that Dave lives near Cayuga Lake...
And remember the the Cayuga's were a part of the famous Iroquois League (Nation), stretching from New York to Minnesota.
Consisting of these Native American Tribes
Mowhawk
Oneida
Cayuga
Onadaga
Seneca
and later they added the
Tuscarora
You would be surprised how close a lot of our Constitution parrallels the Nation's Laws set by the Grand Council...

I guess not I thought I looked up his address one time and I thought their was a Lake Cayuga near by - but I can not find it on the map - so now I do not know why I thought that....
OK I am at a loss as to why I thought that a lake was involved...
Hope he comes on soon and splains everything...

Cayuga is the first part and d= Dave. On one site when I registered, I forgot the d. 
I live in Northern Wisconsin in the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest. In the middle of the national forest off a main highway is a unincorporated town called Cayuga. It is the one of the little towns near me. There are 15 people in Cayuga last I knew. Just a couple families. Also there is still the Cayuga Hotel and Saloon but no other business anymore.
Cayuga was once a big logging town. There were 1500 people there. They had a post office, a bordello, hardware store, saloons... I mean a real town. Once the logging died out the town did also, except for a few that would not leave the area.
This area was originally owned by Cornell University in New York. They had a big study area of the fauna, rock formations caused by Lake Superior, etc. The town's original name was Cornell Crossing. But the University had some beef with the town using the name Cornell, so they changed the name to Cayuga, after the lake that the university sits on. Also Cayuga is a name of a Native American Tribe and there are lots of Native Americans around here.
Even though I am miles away from Cayuga, the joke was I was considered from Cayuga (so they could claim one more person and my dog as population numbers). So when screen names were needed, I just used where I lived. On one site Cayuga was taken so I added a d.
That should answer your questions....

I take that back... I looked in my Big Map book of the Chequamegon and I am in the Glidden Ranger District. Glidden brags that they are the black bear capitol of the world. Glidden once had more black bear in the area then any where else in the US but I think that is not the case anymore.
