Having moved to the cold, but beautiful bay town of Traverse City in Northwestern Michigan, we are excited for the 2015 Reenactment Season. This year we will be attending The Feast of the Strawberry Moon in Grand Haven, Michigan; The Feast of the Hunter’s Moon in West Lafayette, Indiana; and The Kohkohmah and Foster Encampment in Kokomo, Indiana.
Big changes all around, including a new house and remodeling the cargo trailer to make loading and set-up easier on these old bones.
Room for all our 1700’s camping gear and 16 gourd bins. Fortunately, the gourd bins are lightweight, as the camping gear is pretty heavy. We added pull down camper steps to the small door up front and a folding ramp for the back end. These are going to make a huge difference. We sold our old canvas tent and purchased a smaller wall tent with an awning. Sturdy new ridge poles are finished and Dan is working on building a second period-correct knock-down bed to sleep in at the events. This new bed will be much easier to assemble.
I painted a new sign for our tent, but it needed something more….
A gourd vine!
