Hello shipmates i went to the fort today, the spot is clearly marked with a scull and crossed bones should be easy enough to find in the day light how ever if you can't see that look for a bell back wedge went painted red and yello(think McDonald's colors). We left behind a centry at the grounds you will know him by his limping and bald head his name is Rusty and he will be there for the next eight days(lucky cuss isn't he). There is no shade so if you have awnings you should bring them, ther should be enough room.

Y.M.H.S.

Silas i do have a few folding stools if that will suffice i will bring them.

Anyone short of camp equipmement? Please let me know I will see what I can help with.

Good day shipmates have we resolved the issue with coffee pot. If not my brother in law has offered us his two gallon enamel ware pot if you would be interested at least until someone locates a more historic piece.

My boat crew and I will be at the fort saturday the thirtieth arround ten in the morning for set up. Will any one else be in attendance? We will also be leaving a member behind for camp gaurd if you have items you wish to leave behind he will be most agreeable to keeping an eye on them for you as well as managing your canvas and stakes for the week.

My lovley bride has also offered to produce linen coffee bags , so we don't have to chew our coffee!!!!

capt. j..

good to see ya carl !! cpt. j has been in contact with darell d??????? ... hasn't asked for foot prints yet, but may be a good idea... our setup will be very large with two wall tents and a fly in between...

if anything, we can "expand" a little if we have to :)

Silas,

We usually go the Sunday before the event to set up, that us usally the first day they let you set up so we usually take advantage of that to get a good spot to camp. I can let you know what time for sure after I speak to Rusty. So whether Darrell has given you a reserved area or not, if you want to meet AJ and I there, and Rusty, with as much canvas as you can lay hands on we would be happy to help you set up the camps that you can. You used to be able to stake out canvas, but with the budget cuts, you have to put up the camps, as to lessen the repairs of the grounds. Rusty will also be camping all week long so he can keep watch over all the belongings that are left there.

ahoy I am bo'son Carl. I was contacted by Silas Thacher to join this forum. Mr Thacher thought i might be a help to this most auspicious gathering.As Silas stated my brother in law and I a rope walk for demo's. Has any one contacted the fort for a reserved area for demonstration purposes i.e. rope making weapons display(q&a), knotting, rope work. This my net a better camping situation possibly, if we have a good idea of the foot print of the tents and awnings, they may be more interested in setting aside room for us?
