[br]For those of you who might not believe there really is a Sachem:
The Sachem can be elusive and mysterious, and is best tracked in his native habitat. It helps to engage the assistance of a Soldier, preferably #2 if he is available to help with the hunt, as his Sachem-tracking skills have been honed over the years.

Next, you must locate the native habitat, which in this case is Sachem's daytime habitat, his workplace. It is best to show up at closing time. To be sure that you have located the proper subject, look for certain characteristics such as a ponytail and million-dollar smile. Plaid flannel shirt optional.

Bait can include Gathering souvenirs such as Program Guides, car flags, and Gathering t-shirts, and the Sachem seems to fall for these every time. Once the bait is tossed, Sachem can easily be lured into dinner and conversation, especially if he is cornered and not given much of a choice.
Once the Sachem is captured, there is certain to be great conversation and friendship. The trackers soon realize it is the same, good ole Sachem, and old times are relived. Sachem knows he is missed and that many have sought after him, his knowledge, and his friendship. The trackers know they have indeed caught a rare and precious prize.
Alas, this tracker did not make a picture, so the Sachem escaped with only my word as proof, much as the believers of Bigfoot or Loch Ness must try to convince others of a great creature's existence on scant evidence.
But if you are ever in Sachem territory, try to track him.... if you dare.

Thanks, Rich and Eric, for a great evening and great conversation! @;-

caitlin	Posted - July 14 2008 : 02:54:09 AM Oh, Oh... the keychain I have, the box and then I have the mirror. What did I miss?
richfed	Posted - July 13 2008 : 5:28:01 PM That's what it is ... key ring. On it, are two Mohican Gathering souvenirs from years past - 1998 and 2001. That's what I was actually trying to get in the picture.
Irishgirl	Posted - July 13 2008 : 11:39:38 AM looks like car keys to me
Obediah	Posted - July 13 2008 : 10:49:54 AM So, oh wise and mighty Sachem, what exactly is that thing in your hand?
Diane B.	Posted - July 13 2008 : 09:35:37 AM Hey Steph, Would that be Long Island Iced Tea???
Stephanie	Posted - July 12 2008 : 11:03:13 PM Uh oh! Poor Soldier #2! I love the picture, though, BOTH sides of it. Ok, we look a little silly or drunk but all we had was iced tea!
richfed	Posted - July 12 2008 : 11:00:11 AM Well, at least HALF of the photo looks good [YOURS, Steph!] ... Eric, you are DEAD MEAT!
Stephanie	Posted - July 09 2008 : 10:10:04 PM At last, proof of the Sachem's existence, thanks to the ubiquitous cell phone cameras: Image Insert: 10.39 KB
Jayne	Posted - July 06 2008 : 2:34:31 PM Oooo - a new subject of Monsterquest on the History Channel! (Not that the Sachem is a monster by ANY means. Nope...doesn't resemble one in the least little bit - other than his ability to flit from place to place in Mohicanland unseen. At least until NOW! Stephanie and Eric, you are truly SLY and SNEAKY!
Stephanie	Posted - July 05 2008 : 6:30:50 PM DWB! LOL!
Kaylynn44	Posted - July 04 2008 : 5:18:14 PM Steph, I do believe you when you say that Sachem does still exist. I think that other than bribing him with food and goodies, you just have to be quiet and sneak up on Sachem when he isn't looking, or you can go to the Marion post office. Hey, that's an idea, at the next Gathering, if Sachem won't come to us, we will go to Sachem!!! We can all go and sit in a nice air conditioned post office and the Sachem can't even run away from us!!! Love, Kay PS Steph, I love your new avatar.

Alas, this tracker did not make a picture, so the Sachem escaped with only my word as proof, much as the believers of Bigfoot or Loch Ness must try to convince others of a great creature's existence on scant evidence. I am skeptical about sightings of Bigfoot, the Loch Ness Monster, and aliens at Roswell. Usually I need proof more convincing than some man's opinion before I blindly believe such sightings. But Stephanie's word's been good on the frontier a long time ...and if Soldier #2 is of the same opinion, then taken together, that's gospel. So, I believe in the existence of the Sachem, even without a photo. Besides, photos can be faked and we can't believe all that we see (or hear) anymore....hmmmmm without someone's good word, what can we believe?? (that discussion belongs in the Light in the Forest forum!)

Catch me, if you can!!!!!!!!! quote: Thanks, Rich and Eric, for a great evening and great conversation! Likewise! Some other comments: -- The Program Guide was stunning! Great job on that! -- Jayne, thank you so much for the personalized car flag!! -- I truly do miss - and regret - not getting to meet Soldier #1, Dennis Banks, and most especially, Ariel and her family. Every Gathering has had its unique qualities. Clearly, this one did, too!!! -- And, I miss all my ole buds from previous Gatherings ... Diana, Sarah, Fitz, John, Donna, Karen W., Kay, Sharon, Phil & Karen, Nancy, Patrick, along with the aforementioned Steph, Eric, and Jayne. Not to mention all the folks who I've not ever met ... All of you, it's more my loss than yours ... 2010, anybody?
caitlin	Posted - July 04 2008 : 10:14:53 AM That does sound like a mission of daring and secrecy and how jealous I am! Next time I'm in the territory, I'll have to take the challenge myself! Glad you guys were able to spend some time catching up!
