Gulph Creek

Gulph Creek is a tributary of the Schuylkill River in southeastern Pennsylvania. It is approximately six miles long[1] and flows in an easterly direction. It passes through Tredyffrin, Radnor, and Upper Merion Townships, and the borough of West Conshohocken. It also passes through the village of Gulph Mills and goes past Hanging Rock alongside Route 320.

It is one of four watersheds in Radnor Township, the others being, Ithan Creek, Darby Creek, and Meadowbrook Run

History

The Gulph Creek valley has attracted the interest of historians due to George Washington and his troops having camped in the immediate area in December 1777 during his journey to Valley Forge.[1]

gollark: Tape Shuffler would be okay with it, Tape Jockey doesn't have the same old-format parsing fallbacks and its JSON handling likely won't like trailing nuls, no idea what tako's program thinks.
gollark: Although I think some parsers might *technically* be okay with you reserving 8190 bytes for metadata but then ending it with a null byte early, and handle the offsets accordingly, I would not rely on it.
gollark: Probably. The main issue I can see is that you would have to rewrite the entire metadata block on changes, because start/end in XTMF are offsets from the metadata region's end.
gollark: I thought about that, but:- strings in a binary format will be about the same length- integers will have some space saving, but I don't think it's very significant- it would, in a custom one, be harder to represent complex objects and stuff, which some extensions may be use- you could get some savings by removing strings like "title" which XTMF repeats a lot, but at the cost of it no longer being self-describing, making extensions harder and making debugging more annoying- I am not convinced that metadata size is a significant issue
gollark: I mean, "XTMF with CBOR/msgpack and compression" was being considered as a hypothetical "XTMF2", but I'd definitely want something, well, self-describing.
