So coming into this I wasn't I actually thought it was about the we had to tell a story about the Musconetcong being from Union County. I grew up in Winfield in Union County, between London and the Clark but we got grew up on the Rahway River. And it was almost like a peninsula. It was round about two sides. So you know a good day in the summertime was when you had if you came home and your mother had a hose you often backyard. So you know it was a good day. But specifically there's a run off of the Rahway River called Bloodgood's Pond. And, you know, hundreds of stories that I could tell about, ice skating and playing hockey in the winter time with fire departments to come down and and hose the ice off. So make it nice and smooth and to rescuing geese with fishing line stuck in their their bills. Many, many different stories catching turtles and things like that. So we moved out here about 10 years ago. And, but we my kids grew up in that area also. We're out here they're still young. So we have many stories about the Musconetcong also
