Ticonderoga

On May 9^th we learned about Doug’s Folly. Well I didn’t want to go to fort Ticonderoga since I said it was four hours even when mom said it was two hours. The first campground mom looked at was closed so she gave me the address to a different on to direct us to. Mom said I could take any way I wanted so I took the shortest way. Note-to-self Ticonderoga is in the middle of NOWHERE! I want my fishing gearL! Well at least I can brag I was right it took four hours. We finally got to the camp ground the sign said Check the list and find an open space. We couldn’t find the list so we drove around and got some weird looks. Eventually we pulled into a space and mom found the person to pay he mentioned that they weren’t open for another week but we could stay for a night. This prompted mom to check the website for when it opens turns out that didn’t happen until May 29^th. Then we decided to walk to the fort I took our bright rainbow colored XX-large umbrella. We walked the mile or more drive way the fort which was having an orientation day for the employees. We sat down far enough away they didn’t notice right off the bat and close enough we could hear the reanactors. I unfurled the umbrella being extremely inconspicuous. They were pretending to be the French soldiers that first made the fort. I think I would fit in with them Chocolate for breakfast and lunch was their largest meal and they had fresh bread with pea soup! Eventually someone noticed my drab colored tiny umbrella (That was sarcastic). Turns she was in charge she let us see the parade grounds so we are officially the first visitors of 2013!
