Who is that Gomer Guy??????????????

Well that Gomer Guy be ME!!!!!!!!

I live in Mt. Vernon Me., with my wife of 30 years. Dogeye is her Camp Name. We have been doing Living History for 14 years now.  You will find, as you explore The Cave, that I have a strange sence of humor. I believe that having fun, in whatever you do is A Good Thing. I was a total Pilgram, when I met The Ancient Ones. Since then I have been heavely involved with the club, and have enjoyed most of it too!!!!!!! I am a past Booshway of The Ancient Ones, and of The Northeastern Primitive Rendezvous in 1998.

A couple of years ago I finally broke down, and got  a computor. Well look at me NOW!!!!!!!!!!!

I enjoy running this site, and hope you find it fun too.

Ok now you know who Gomer is!!!!!!!!!!!

 

What is a Living History Reinactor

 In the summer of 92, I went to downtown Mt. Vernon, up behind the Library, and saw a site that I will never forget. There in the field was a group of people that looked, and smelled, and acted, like they had been there for a 150 years.
 I was walking through a Living History Encampment, of a group called The Ancient Ones.
These were a bunch of people, that had a love for the outdoors, and a fondness for the Old Ways, and History itself!  What they were doing, is often confused with what is called a reenactment. There is a BIG difference between the two. A reenactment is usually a battle scenario, and is over when everyone is Dead! A living History Encampment never Dies, it just keeps on going, and going, and going. These people were here for the weekend, they ate, and cooked over an open fire, slept there in there canvas tents, even in the poring rain!
During the Day they were more that happy to show you all their stuff, explain it to you if ya had a question or to. They let me shoot a blank load out of a blunderbuss, throw a tomahawk, and a knife. They offered me some Mystery Meat, still don't know what it was but it was good. I learned more that day, than all of the history classes I took in school!
From that day forward this group adopted me at first, now they can't get rid of me!
So What Is A. Living History Reinactor?
Just some of the best people that you would ever hope to meet. That sacrifice a lot to keep history alive, and well. I am Proud to be One Of Them Funny Dressed People.
