Potential renaming of 'Hoyt Farm'

Sooooo, I'm thinking that 'Hoyt Farm' doesn't really describe this place very well in it's current incarnation, and a different name may more accurately reflect the magic that draws everyone here. Kat and Russell are open to hearing ideas.

I'm thinking 'Kan's End.'  ;D

It is already the Burning Porcupine Festival Grounds.  Hoyt Farm is the local name.

Well, it should be noted that it's called Hoyt's Farm because someone named "Hoyt" owns it. Seeing as how we tend to talk big on property rights and all, we should probably leave the last word on renaming it to the property owner.  :)

I didn't even know there WAS a Mr. Hoyt.  I figured it was some long lost dead man named Hoyt who had a farm there in the 1800's.

It was known as the Hoyt Brothers farm back when it was farmed.  You could call it the Hull Farm now ;D

Well, this is certainly the funniest name so far :D. And it makes sense, concerning who the holder of the certificate of title is.

OK, my bad. Hoyt and Hull are kind of similar and I was thinking it was Bob Hoyt who owned it.

I enjoy the hospitality at The Inn, industrious participation is a price well worth paying.

The smell of fresh bread, homemade soup and a mug of beer, combined with the companionship of fellow travelers on the road to freedom. All great stuff.

Tolkienesque realm, an alternative reality we create, Hoyt Farm is nice in the historical appreciation sense of the effort that created the farm, but a more cryptic name is nice for the gulch aspect.

It will remain as Hoyt Farm in my "ghost" song.  :o

Part/early draft:

"Up over the hill past Bear Hollow Road
Where Slab City Road takes a turn
Past the moldy old pine and the fieldstone wall
There's a story that I've learned

There's a spirit that still walks the land
Down by that swampy bog
And he came to visit me one morn
As I rested on a log

It is not the kind of specter
That good folks need to fear
It keeps watch against all tyrants
Day and night - throughout the year ..."
