Welcome. Yes, upstate NY is similar to where I grew up, the U.P. of MI. I also know what a Rook is, that was our 'Mascot' more or less back in the day. Wait for that safe ice, we had a snowmobile go through with a rider recently, he didn't make it.
Welcome to the Forum! Glad you found us. From LI not NYC either. 32 years here But I still don't claim to be a New Yorker, just a misplaced Buckeye. :wink: :lol:
Welcome to the forum! You'll find a lot of great information here. I grew up in Bayside Queens until I moved to Easton, PA in 1985. I sure do miss the hunting in NY, but I think I miss the Salt Water fishing the most.
