Another beautiful day, albeit very hot. Wasn't able to complete the entire tour but I will return to finish this up in a few weeks.

If you think everything's going to be alright, you don't understand the problem!

SS,
  Toured Saratoga Battlefield Park in March following IBC @ Dunham's Bay F&G Club, Lake George, with crak, Buzzworth, and Firewall 99.  Was outstanding, though a tad nippy...well - cold.  Chief Ranger Greg Wozniak gave us talk and musket demo - outstanding hospitality (we're trying to return the favor by having him and his fellow rangers as our guests @ a local Appleseed soon).  LED diorama of battle something we need to look at re 19 April, 1775 events...
   FYI going back to DB for another IBC in March, 2011, thence to Fort Ticonderoga on Lake George - should come with us...
Excelsior,

for only practice will make you perfect.
Finally, you will hit the bulls-eye of success."

Consider checking out Mount Independence on the VT side of the lake from Ft Ti.

I've been to both tours, you'll get a lot on the French and Indian War at Ft Ti.

I live pretty close to both of them.
They have men amongst them who know very well what they are about, having been employed as Rangers against the Indians and Canadians and this country being much covered with wood, and hilly, is very advantageous for their method of fighting. . . . ".  Lord Percy

Sounds like New Englanders to me.
