Loved the Fort…Do you ever get to Ohio? There is a place called Fort Meigs, it is based on the war of 1812. It’s near Toledo Ohio in a small city of Maumee, Ohio. Just sharing if you want to check it out.

[@Curious1304]

I didn't know they made a vintage Propel Cliff. Is that available widely? Love the shout out from the one reenacter mentioning his dad being a WW fan who "loves your stuff". Word gets around in that generation, brother, bc I got turned on to you by my great uncle Earl who is 94 yrs old. As he says - stay curious and keep it up! Jon was a lot of fun in this video too. Thanks and God bless.👍👍🙏🙏🏳️‍🌈

The mountain you like near Fort Loudoun is Parnell Knob. It’s where Front Mountain and Broad Mountain meet. The elevation is 2,021 feet.

[@carolb29]

mmmm shortbread. loved the cannon! I used to make period clothing for the reenactment people...loved it.

[@jalleman61]

Nice outing we to here in Halifax have been trying to raise a fort that there is very little documentation on.Should check this one out

[@matthewreilly8158]

What an interesting site. Off topic, but you should consider hiking the "James Clevland Trail", the site of a 1931 mail courier plane crash in Centre County near the town of Centre Hall.

[@juliagaletti3197]

[@nancymann5351]

Awesome view from up at the fort. Hope I can see it in person someday. Great video.❤

[@lindamccaughey6669]

Really enjoyed that thanks Cliff. Fantastic view from Bastion. Loved the look of that shortbread too. I jumped sky high when canon went off first time. Thanks for taking me along. Please take care

[@alexandria8255]

awesome as always Cliff! you ever been to the PA Renfaire? Ours here down in Kenosha WI is pretty awesome. It's also like stepping back in time. I dressed up one time in long skirt and peasant blouse and a minstrel sang to me on the bridge. Great fun!

[@Billtownhistorian]

I was a substitute musician at a civil war re-enactment years ago-I had to wear the wool clothes, and buddy, they were hot! The cannon fire thumped my chest with the percussion-very impressive-thanks guys!

[@p.k.5455]

Shortbread RULES!!!!

[@hiworldstephensonultranate290]

Cliff Idea! Repeat this n November when its dark? Honestly Superb n Gt Fun ++**

[@thirzapeevey2395]

I should come up for that some day. Some of my friends do that event. I'm trying to see if they are there, but you are moving awfully fast. I did see William Booth, Draper. I don't know if that's his real name or not, but he came to Boonesborough a few years ago. Sundays usually are pretty quiet at reenactments. After whatever battle they have, most people pack up and head out. You will know there was a campfire there: the grass will be much greener over that firepit next year. You can go to Fort Harrod and point out where every firepit has been in the last two to three years by the bright green rectangles in the lawn. We usually only do events close enough to drive in for the day, because we can't afford a tent and a truck and trailer to carry all that gear around. We did get to camp once, on the invitation of a friend who had an extra tent. The evenings are a lot of fun. Okay, Scoundrel's Alley are very good friends of ours. We haven't seen the museum, but they told us all about it when we saw them last winter. You missed a tremendous opportunity when "Maggie Delaney" called out to you when you entered. You should have stopped to talk to her, and to whichever of Frank's personages he was portraying that day: Parson John, or Awld Badger, both are an amazing wealth of knowledge. I think their oldest grandson is traveling with them this summer as well. If you want to know more, Townsends has done a bunch of videos on them. I probably can't post a link, but find the Townsend's channel and look for Maggie Delaney there. They have done enormous amounts of research, and much of that research comes out of questions asked by people like you. When Carol first created Maggie Delaney, people kept asking her what would have become of Maggie after her indenture was served, and out of that came her research into professional mourners and body snatchers. Eventually, people started asking what would have become of her when Awld Badger was no longer able to dig up bodies and sell them to medical schools and out of that came the current museum that you just toured. After 12 years or so of doing events like this, the first shot always makes me jump out of my skin, still. After that, I hardly hear them for the rest of the weekend. And yes, there is plenty of time for the Indians and/or redcoats to overrun you if you have a misfire.

[@hiworldstephensonultranate290]

That's really like mountains i walked up over here Tks Cliff

[@hobbyfarmer62]

Love "shopping" at events like this when I can mostly go to medeviel events here out west not many of this period happen out here.

[@bruinsfan8278]

[@tomtransport]

Looks like the old rule..Keep your powder dry.. was not followed on that last shot.🤣The primer went off but the 3rd charge loaded in the cannon was probably damp. I was glad when they called off the last firing, it was too dangerous and we did see two. Muzzleloading weapons, muskits, cannon, pistols ect. could still have some hot sparks down in them from the misfire or the previous charge. When reloading they could go off unexpectedly. Cool to see the first firing startled the bejesus out of Cliff. It got me too.🤣🤣
