It would be interesting (to me) to know what the area was called before it was call the Hoyt Farm.

Something 'Indian'



The highest mountain in the northeast is nowadays called Mt. Washington. I wondered what it was called before that, and I recently learned that the local natives called it Agiocochook [though don't trust my spelling].


Yes and just FYI Agiocochook is
Indian for=Were going the Fuck around that!

Just a little history tip from PatK.  ;D

As things evolve it may become the old Hoyt Farm ghost who still watches over the XYZ Gulch.  ;D

Grafton was once home to the Fawkowie Indian Tribe. . . they ran through the woods screaming We're the Fawkowies, We're the Fawkowies!

That makes perfect sense because it is said that the local Indians never climbed Agiocochook.

Legend is that they never climbed it because it was inherited by gods, or something. But with your history tip in mind, I'm thinking maybe it was just too frickin big.

Don't worry. The local natives didn't know how to spell either.

Hahahahahha!!! My infamous Uncle Pete once told me about these Fawkowie Indians, but they lived in Arizona! They stood on the tops of the hills, with one hand shielding their eyes from the sun, looking to the left, looking to the right, saying to each other, "Where the Fawkowie?"

Just to clarify, I probably should have written "Potential reappellation of 'Hoyt Farm.' It's not that I'm trying to diss the history, owner, previous owner, future owner, prior inhabitants, animals alive and dead in the area, or spirits that govern the trees and brooks, lordy no! It's just that 'Hoyt Farm' doesn't really have a lot of, well, panache. And if there's anything that those of us living here possess, it's a hell of a lot of panache! And we need an appellation that reflects that, just like the appellation "Man Cave" so delightfully describes the Liberty Lane Estate!

Just got back from the deprogrammers...  ;D

Kat had me like Pavlov's dog with the homemade soup and Russell worked me from sun-up to sun-down.

Got out of there just in time, they were trying to get me selling flowers at the airport.  ;D
