Roll Call - Fort de Chartres 2011


William Brand

Recommended Posts

We're trying to estimate our needs for camp and location at Fort de Chartres the first weekend of June. If you're even considering your schedule for the year and have high hopes of attending alongside us there, please sound off and be counted. Now that we have our foot soundly in the door we hope to enlarge our presence and make ourselves available for living history, the public tug-o-war and other events during the 41st annual Rendezvous at Fort de Chartres. It's a beautiful setting representing the wilderness colonization of the period and it just happens to line up with the year we represent. 1720. If you don't belong to a crew, and even if you do, you are all welcome.

What a wonderful place for an event! It looks absolutely beautiful! ;)

"Now then, me bullies! Would you rather do the gallows dance, and hang in chains 'til the crows pluck your eyes from your rotten skulls? Or would you feel the roll of a stout ship beneath your feet again?"

---Captain William Kidd---

(1945)

I made a point of photographing it for anyone wishing to see the fort from many angles. It's a wonderful setting in a rural part of the Mid West. Nothing but a paved road and countryside.

Bummer. Pity that this event is the same weekend as Port Washington Pirate Fest. Perhaps another year.

We might be able to make it (crossing fingers) if we can tie this into a trip to visit family up north.

I am still planning on attending, going to put it on the work calender and maybe LT will be good to me.

Anybody flying in, I will be driving by the airport probably on Friday Morning to get down and set up, I can offer a ride to a few people that might be arriving.......keep it in mind as it gets closer to June...

If it was raining soup, I'd be stuck outside with a fork.....

Maybe a day trip, maybe camping, dunno, depends on funds and gas prices and if my vehicle holds up to the beating it takes. Not doing pyratey stuff anymore but still got my colonial gear. Blondie wants to go for cowboy mounted action shooting as soon as I get a real job again so that's the direction I'm headed. She has been so supportive of me that I owe it to her to help achive this goal.

It stinks being dead-broke and not able to do anything anymore. I get really nasty attitudes sometimes, but then I am a really nasty critter at heart anyhow so...

anyhow, I still have tentage for those that need it and we can make similar arrangements as last year.

I will be in and out of the pub from time to time depending on my time availability with my student teaching and all that goes into it. Job prospects are pretty grim at this point with things as they are. Kinda depressing after spending five years hard at the education to get this far.

OK, time to stop rambling and get back to my geography calendar planning project.
