Dean, awesome pup! How's she doing? Get her on birds yet? Any pics? I have a 2 1/2 year old male setter. We lost my older two a couple years ago. Shame they have such short lives.
What a great thread reading about your quest for Tinkhamtown! I've been a Corey Ford fan for at least 20 years now. I have spent quite an effort collecting his published writings, most of them signed first editions.
I too, have been searching for Tinkhamtown. I'm pretty certain it is north of Hanover near Lyme and Grafton. Right in my back yard! Hardscrabble, to the best of what I have figured out, is actually based on Freedom, NH. Many of the characters were loosely based on folks that lived in Freedom as well as Dartmouth students and Corey's long time hunting buddies. Corey's home in Freedom, "Stoneybroke", is actually on the market now.
Did you and Steve go on your trek last summer?
Mike
