Back at camp. We spoke with one of the reenactors and he told us that the younger participants camp out all weekend, in character, cooking food from the time period, over a camp fire, etc... The man we spoke with was older and admitted to going to a hotel with a comfy bed lol.

Being "older," too, I understand the hotel and comfy bed bit.
ReplyDeleteaprès la bataille, le réconfort...
ReplyDeleteI am so jealous that you got to see this re encatment. Every time they do something around here it rains ha ha. Please keep me in mind for this event next year and let me know about a month ahead so I can make plans to come to it..
ReplyDeleteThanks
I sure can't blame him for wanting to stay back at the hotel!
ReplyDeleteVery interesting information, Tanya, and photos to go with.
ReplyDeleteThese is really amazing with that green river rolling past.
ReplyDeleteIt'd be the bed for me too! Enjoying this series.
ReplyDeleteOh, my. I was tired, and just trying to play catch up when I clicked on your post and thought I was in the Twilight Zone.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot. I love re-enactments. Used to have to shoot them when living in the Deep South.
Oh man... I would have to ditch the troops and go get a bed in a hotel too. Me old back just would not take a cot in a tent.

That would be hard hard to do! I don't think I could do it, even for a weekend!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great shot though with the river in the background!
Nice and interesting these posts! They made me open an old history book... to read about the Civil War!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure this must have been fun for your kids.
