Just joined the MLF and would like to introduce myself. First off, i have very little experiance with muzzle loading (black powder) however i do have a great interest and since i got a bit tired of putting things off, i decided to bite the chomp and jump in with both feet. I live in Sonoma county CA and work in Napa county making wine. If you have heard of a mountainman name of Yount, then you will have heard of the man who was first to plant grapes in Napa County. That, coupled with a cabinmate of mine from 1993 -95 in Gunnison CO got me intrested in the idea of muzzleloading. I am hoping to meet up with some folks in the Napa, Sonoma or Mendo county area as well as try and make a few events over the next year. Look forward to learning a heap as well.
