Aside from Ridley Creek, what other events are you doing? Does your group have a website?

I am so glad to see people leaving the Rangers to do French -- well done in leading them that direction! We need more French. There are too many Rangers (including myself -- http://reenacting.net/sfmlh.html).
I notice your schedule doesn't include to Fort Ti or Fort 4 or Rogers Island, NOR does it include (SHOCK!) Fort William Henry's 250th???
I'm sorry you are going to do the (sorry, THE) Grand Encampment at Crown Point, I'm patently NOT supporting that one.

| Hello Pvt. Chauncy, ... are you involved in trekking (I belive it called that) also? I did a "search" about that at least a year ago, probably a tad longer. That name Chauncy rings a bell from that search ... welcome aboard btw. |

Good day,
Yup, on and off. I used to do more of it but now the bulk of my trekking is not with COHT but is much more the real thing (i.e., the real enemy) during the Lake George Tactical. But you might have found my trekking page on my website: http://www.reenacting.net/trekking/
Here's the LGT: http://www.reenacting.net/lgt
Are you a trekker too??
YH&OS,
Chauncey

| A truly amazing number of links there, and quite a site that you have. I'd say the life of a LongHunter" would be a tad dangerous today, - it was a "very high risk" occupation back in the 1760's with the addition of hostile indians. The "Tent Smiths" & Historical Trekkers etc. - a lot very interesting material there. ... No, I don't "trek" per se, but I do quite a bit of hiking "up-country" every week. Winter hiking/snowshoeing is tops, - just can't beat it. Keep posting Chauncy ... ;) |

getting folks to go to more then one "far away" FandI event is difficult for us becuase everybody does more then one time period. id love to do more but you know how it goes, you cant force people to go. whats the concern with crown point? we did the 1st GE at boones in 02 and we had a great time. skip the next one, that was even to far for me. about ft. ti we need to secure a inviatation from the site to particapte. we will be there in 08 of cource, we have been to ft.4 but not for a few years, again with our small group we need to pick our spots so to speak.

Good day,
Thanks for the kind words. That site gets harder and harder to keep up. In part because I burned out on it but in part because I have so much that I want to do with it, I end up spinning around on what to do next and doing nothing at all!
Getting hte Lake George Tactical reporst up is the most important thing for me. Anyway, thanks again!
YH&OS,
Pvt. Chauncey

Bit of a surprise there, Chauncey. May I ask "Why not?" |

Hey all,
Wow...I looked at your treking page there Pvt Chauncey....Really well done! .
I do C/W myself ( Confederate Infantry and yes, we are doing it hard-core).
But....I've ALWAYS been drawn to the Longhunters and Roger's Rangers and all....Must be the latent Marine sniper in me.
Anyway...Tis time for some more 
Oh, here's a small tip for all who "lurk" in the woods.....I've found that if you take either some dried moss or warm sand and put it into your wet footwear that it helps it dry faster. And we all know that dried moss can be used to keep out feeties warm when stuffed into our footwear.
Ah, |

| Aye, GG..and I apologize I did not mention you in my previous post as an old friend.....after I posted I scrolled around and saw you were still around...not many of us "elders" left, huh? (Mark, who is that??).....All is well.....my other part is most dominant these days.....that being cousin Malcolm, who is now Sjt. Major in British Army......he struts around and barks at people and hobnobs with the officers all the times. But actually, he's still just old Malcolm to me, enjoys his port and ale and tabak more than ever. Sure, all is well. One more year and I hear that Dr. Uncle Mark will retire from that day job of educatin' the young ones.....then that Dr. Uncle Mark person will really cease to exist and I believe myself will get a bit stronger as Many Flags comes back to do more treking and hunting with cousin Seamus whom I just talked with today. All for now.....I'll pop in at times.....Many Flags of the Allemaengel ( Hi Rich!) |
