Hello Red Dawn, and welcome, spent some great summers in Rhinebeck, NY, back in the day.
As a "newer" member to this forum as well, I can honestly say this is one of the tightest groups I've ever been part of.
Anything and everything that is posted will be responded to by someone in a civil, honest and useful way.
This is a truly great bunch of members that all enjoy the same thing, and share their knowledge to those who ask.
And sometimes you can just rant and B****, about something that made you mad, (like waiting for a purchase permit)
With Marshal'ette minding the store, no one dare get too out of hand anyway,.

Stay safe.
