Hmmmm... so that's what those were.

But seriously, folks... if you think there are too many foreign observer and other specialty impressions out there, then it stands to reason you've been...

Pretty well sums up my reenacting experience. From "got to have it all" to "less is more" and then a final gasp, "I'm done with this".

Congradulations on wanting to take the bull by the horns and start your own unit. Many nay-sayers will advise you to not do so... that you should just join an existing unit, blah, blah, blah. ...

The tiny Grant's Canal section of VNMP in Louisiana is very much a part of the park just as this photograph will attest. The brown sign reads:

I'm not disputing any of this. But in my personal opinion it is fugly, always has been and always will be. And I have many a happy memory of the place, but now that it stands empty, it needs to be...
