We don't have an official battle site or anything like those of you eastward and southward get to experience, but it's the largest Civil War encampment / re-enactment on the west coast...
Loud, too!
David, unaware of the Southern belles sneaking up on him...
David, friend Jeff, & Miles getting a very detailed lesson on the Gatling gun:
Have you ever seen a boy happier to hold a real (not replica) 1841 Civil War rifle? This one was called the Mississippian, if I recall correctly (the gun, not the rebel).
After gathering information on the weapons used by the rebels, he took it right over to the Yankee side, the little spy.
Ok, so maybe he didn't *quite* fit in, with his skateboarding attire and all...
I didn't get a whole lotta photos of Lilli - she and friend J were more interested in climbing trees & feeding ducks than aiding the war effort. They did wait patiently for President Lincoln's field report, but the sign said come back at 4:00pm...
