My vote is no. It is entirely too easy to simulate a county line where no
public roadway exists. Plus, many rivers and streams serve as county line
borders here in Georgia and elsewhere. Unless one was in a watercraft of
some sort and in midstream, one would be in one county or the other but not
on the county line. Let's work at getting more rovers out there so ALL
counties can be activted and also ..... keep it simple.... no county line
operations.
