that sound alike my brother – a big civil war buff –

Thanks for commenting, and it really is a trip — in many ways! I’m getting the hang of forts, battlefields, markers, etc. Not much choice since hubby frequently drives and veers off the road at anything marked Civil Way!

I’m always interested in history. You have beautiful pictures here to share, Rusha. 🙂

You’re so right about hats off to them — they give of their time to help us understand the past. And I guess they are docents. I probably should have called them that. They didn’t lead tours, but they were on hand to discuss anything. What impressed me about the people at this fort was their humor. It truly was a pleasure to stand and talk with several of them.

Thanks, Cindy. We both get to see some pretty interesting things (bees, for instance), so it’s good we’re sharing them on our blogs. Learning a lot!

Amy, you are so right. I didn’t like visiting forts and such when we were first married, but my husband loves historical markers, forts, battlefields, etc. So, I’ve come to appreciate them not just for the original purposes but also for the architecture, arrangements, etc. Thanks for reading, as always!
