At Fort Laramie we were treated to an interpretive talk about the Mountain Howitzer and it’s role, actually it’s uselessness in the wide open spaces of Wyoming. But the fascinating thing is that it is the little baby brother of the Twelve Pound Napoleons that were used during the Civil War. The two cannon though very different in size utilized the same ammunition and firing sequence. So besides learning about the role of Ft Laramie in the formation of The American West, we got a lesson on the responsibilities of Steve’s GG-Grandfather as an artilleryman in the Civil War!
Rally in the Adirondacks
Thanks to the organizational skills of Mandy & Kgreat weekend of endrick, the amazing support of their team, and the sponsorship of nüCamp RV we enjoyed a great weekend of camaraderie and fun at the Northeast Rally. Gathering with fellow teardrop aficionados is always an enriching experience and this gathering in the Adirondacks was no exception.
