Etymology

You know in cartoons when someone has to sign on the dotted line and they make an "X"? That's a real life thing. Historically, people who didn't know how to write their own name would use a crisscross -- which comes from "Christ's cross". Originally it wasn't an "X", but an actual cross and people would sign with the Christian cross to promise "to God" to fulfill the contract. Over time, the cross got tipped on it's side and now is an "X".

Today, the word "crisscross" means to cross over and then back (think laces on a shoe).

Notes

Tons of villages, including three big ones. One of them even has diamonds. I found some really nice old-school rock formations -- not the least of which is an epic-sized land bridge.
