Hi Sarah, thanks for the welcome.
I grew up in Darien, an easy bike ride from Rowayton. I'm in west Stamford now.
Rowayton's a nice little section. I actually haven't been through there in several years. I just read that the bridge of the Five Mile River was condemned by the state a while back, and the Darien folks aren't in any rush to rebuild it.
So, if you need a good tomahawk, I know where to get one (just kidding!).
Seriously, what type of gun do you use? It seems to me I read somewhere the Rangers used fusils that were a bit lighter than the standard Brown Bess.
: Hi Scott,
: Greetings and welcome, from one who is practically a neighbor. I live in southeastern Westchester Co, NY.
: Thanks for sharing your story. It's great to hear people's stories. It went sort of the opposite for me -- I found this place three years ago because of the movie, and through this wonderful place I found the history. I now reenact as one of Rogers' Rangers in the F&I War (Pvt. Chauncey Goodrich). Uh, that would mean Northwest Passage is one of my most favourite books/movies. And so I must drive through your neck of the woods nearly every weekend! I have great friends in Rowayton -- are you near there?
: Also, FYI, 50 ain't old! Who's been spreading those lies?? Theresa -- don't believe 'em if you hear 'em!! I'm not there yet but I don't believe 50 is old!
: Glad to meet you virtually.
: Cheers,
: Sarah M.
: : I'm an old guy. Three days after the anniversary of Jumonville this past May, I reached my fiftieth year.
: : I live in a city in southwest Connecticut with my significant other, who prefers to remain a woman of mystery, and our 11 year old son Jonathan. Jon's older half-brother joins us during college breaks.
: : I work in the health-care field.
: : I've lived in this area most of my life, but was born in Brooklyn, and moved out here when I was 5.

: : But coming in a real close second would be Northwest Passage. As I got older, worldly matters did catch my attention. There was a war going on, new ideas; possibly a new paradigm, the Woodstock gathering of the tribes (up there in Cooper country).
: : This is getting a bit long, so let me fast forward a bit.
