Greetings Stargazer.
Just got in from cooking brats over the fire. Singed them a little of course. But, no worries. My wife enjoys my cooking anyway. Says it adds flavore. (for those wondering, we Marsh-Wiggles do not eat children. By brats I mean Bratwurst. I have been knowen to run from giants who enjoy bi-peds for pie).
This was only my second actual participation. Unfortunatly, as I said, it rained, so there were few actual attendees.
As for what I enjoy. Well, I do rather like the idea of getting into the era. As I have come to understand there are at least four that you can get into;
Colonial
Late 1700s to1800s, think Lewis, and Clark
Early 1820 to 1840s
Civil War era
1880s, think cowboys
all have there own outfits, and as you have probably seen, they can get very elaborit.
Since I am just starting I'm still working on my "character". I am hoping on developing two. One is a traveling minister, though the get up will be difficult to come by.
The other one few know of. There were some scientists who were doing field work for some of the eastern museums gathering specimens. I hope to develope something along that line. Both for the fun, and for the chance to educate people.
Have you heard of the Forest City Rendezvouse? it is held every August, and is held jointly next to a stockade re-built from the Dakota uprising. They have also built a 1800s town.
One I do plan on attending is in Elk River in September at the Gun Club grounds.
Enjoy camping this weekend. I will pray for no rain.
