After lunch we headed out to checkout Sackets Harbor and the Battlefield there from the 1812 war. We thought we had stumbled into a mini Ren Faire when we saw some ladies in period garb around a campfire. Doug was full of questions for them. Turns out they were laundresses (sp?) and were full of historic info about the battelfield. Here are today's pics in short order:
P.S. Some have asked where Black River is....here is a link to Google Maps to show you!

Historical reenacting is a lot more difficult than working a ren faire or being in the SCA. Those peope really care about accuracy, whereas rennies and SCA are mostly about fun. We call them thread counters, because they are so picky that they care about whether the fabric in their clothing is the right weave for the period.
I was too late to pick strawberries around here. I'm a little envious.
