Mini-GTG, Cougarfan and Cedar

Postby Cedar518 » Wed Sep 23, 2009 4:39 pm

Cougarfan, from Oregon is visiting the northeast. Her mother, Ann is also with her. Today I took a day off from work and met them for breakfast and some sightseeing. We had a yummy b'fast at the Hot Biscuit Diner in Ticonderoga, NY. Then we went to Fort Ticonderoga.

http://www.fort-ticonderoga.org/

The fort is privately owned, but open to the public and is a national historic site. Here are some pics from our day together... Here a re-enactor in period costume gives a demonstration of the firearms of the revolutionary war.

One of the barracks buildings...

The entrance to the main courtyard of the fort...

Image

The plaque at the entrance showing names of famous people in history that walked through the archway...

Image

Closeup of some of the famous names. It's hard to imagine that I stood where George Washington and others had walked.

Image

Then we drove up Mt. Defiance, also in Ticonderoga. It has a panoramic view of the lake, looking down on the fort.

Image

Just when I thought Laura was such a nice person she turned so meeeeeeean and tried to push me off the cliff!

Image

I think she has been watching the "Mitch and Vickie Show!" ( :lol: She told me to put that pic up and to say that! hee hee..... )

We really had a great day, it was nice to meet her mother,... and we definitely had fun.... yepper,... we're pals!

Can you see Fort Ti on that point of land far below us?

Gosh Cedar, they've even crashed your GTG. :roll:

Your pictures are great. I love historic places to visit. I would probably have thought along the same lines you did, walking where they did so many years ago , Wow !!! I also love an appreciate, original buildings, not too excited about replicas.

Glad you had such a fun day and thanks for showing us the place too.

Safe Travels,
Carol

I have visited the Fort many times while growing up in NY. Thanks for the pictures, they brought back good memories. Glad your GTG was a success as well. Linda
