Current Goal

To visit Ms. Deyenberg's 5th Grade Class at Dorothy Dalgliesh School in Picture Butte, Alberta, Canada. I hope to travel to Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada, the nearest large town. My owners (elemitrt and mswecker) are twitter friends of Ms. Deyenberg!

About This Item

Big-Lickgeobug

I am being followed and mapped by elementary students in Roanoke County and Salem City schools, Virginia, US. Please take lots of pictures of me along the way!! Thanks for helping me visit my friends in Canada!

My name comes from the original name for Roanoke, VA (my starting place) -- Big Lick. When the Roanoke Valley was first settled, there were many salt marshes nearby where buffalo, elk, and deer gathered, and so did the Native Americans who hunted them. These salt marshes were also called licks, so the name for the first village in the area was "Big Lick." Later the name was changed to "Roanoke" after the Roanoke River. The name Roanoke came from the Native American word "Rawrenock" which were shells that Native Americans would wear and trade for goods.

On its way to the UP!!!! Tonight "Big Lick" was moved to Michigan's Upper Penninsula. For the next few Days, "Big Lick" will stay in our home. We live in Vulcan Michigan, an old iron mining town. When we found "Big Lick", I was exctied to move her farther north. Since Michigan is a border state with Canada, we were hoping we could help her get closer to her goal. Many Canadian travelers come to the UP, and many Yoopers travel into Canada.... Our plan is to plant "Big Lick somewhere up here, and when we leave for vacation north of Sault Sainte Marie Ontario in about a month....if she is still around....we'll smuggle "Big Lick" accross the border then..... We'll post more pictures soon....Hope all is well in VA... This entry was edited by HeiglsRock on Friday, 27 April 2012 at 00:52:03 UTC.
