Fort de Chartres fall Rendezvous.

[andy52]

Talked with Larry yesterday he will be there about the same time as me. Gonna do some pickin' Friday evening and Saturday as well, pretty sure.

I didn't get any time to do much playing I was way too busy. I did get to kill off Larry off on the woods walk and he had to wear the badge of shame back to the barracks....

We picked a little music Friday and Saturday. I had a great time and it was good to see old friends and make many new ones. Will be back for future Fort happenings.

Had so much fun. This is one of the best yearly events I attend.
Woods walk guys deserve a big thanks from everyone. They put on a super event. Hats off to them, I like hearing the stories of the dead
Baking bread, the night before
Morning mist
Smoke in camp
If anyone watches Early American on YouTube this is as Justine’s and Bens camp under the mist
I look like an ***** at these events walking around with a stupid grin on my face all day

Thank you, Sir, My team put a lot of effort into the woods walk and it went off without a hitch. The only seme-complaints were the number of team members killed on the trail by hostiles but they were warned to keep their heads on a swivel.....

Had a great time, some pics of friends, my tent/tarp and the gates of the fort.

sorry I didn't have more time to talk when you dropped by the barracks, I was very busy trying to keep the shoot running smoothly.

@andy52, are you going to let us know where photos like these can be viewed?

For some reason, @andy52 wanted the First Royals to be the first unit through the course. It seemed easy to us as we didn't get killed. We did chase off all the hostiles before they could cause any fatalities.

Good job.

Totally understand, y'all were swamped and I saw quite a few dead men walking.

I'll post the additional photos when I receive them, Bill is supposed to get them by email.

Ah yes, the badge of shame, even some of the best came in wearing them including Larry.....

Yes, Bill got about 50 pictures from the First of Foote. It will take some sorting, culling and cropping to get all the photos ready for viewing.
