Title: Ticonderoga '08 Pics
Post by: Birdwatcher on July 10, 2008, 01:19:57 PM

My nephews and I attended the Ticonderoga reenactment and had a great time. We took many photos.  I am posting them here in case people recognize themselves or friends and may want a copy.

First, the Indians and such...

Thanks for posting these, it gave me a good escape from work the bad part is I recognized about 4 folks I know....I must be spending too much time with these folks and events. It looks as though everyone had a great time. Once again, Thanks for posting.

You are all very welcome, the least I can do is to try to make these images available to those who are in 'em...

Great photos! I have managed to miss this event every year, someyimes by a few hours. Do you think you could compile them in a book with captions and offer them for sale on the forum??? I'd certainly be a customer!

Post by: deadfallpaul on March 17, 2009, 01:04:18 PM

Photos were great!  So was the event.
  Wife and I were there and enjoyed it very much, even the rain and wet.  
 Never saw so much black powder smoke as what was hanging over the battle field during the reenactment!!
A picture book would be fun as I didn't take any.  Too busy shopping the sutlers and visiting and such.

Thank you Birdwatcher for taking the time to post the great pictures!  I would have loved to have seen that battle reenactment in person!  Gotta love the smoke!

Thanks again Swamp for the heads up on this post!

Hey Birdie!!! Great to see ya here!! For the folks here that just saw my handle, I aimed Birdie at Fort Ti for the fun. I do very much live up to my handle! Saw Birdie in June and my evil influence was apparent. He went and got hisself a flinter!!!

Wow! Surprised this thread was still around.

Time just goes way too quick ennit?

Anyhow, it was a small matter to fix the pics, I had sorted 'em into a different album on photobucket.
