Maj. Matt,
I won't be able to make it this year.
I got a chance to do living history at Bent's Old Fort in La Junta, CO which is something I have wanted to do for 25 years. I will be portraying Maj. Stephen Long, US Engineers who led an exploration party in 1819 & 1820 up the Missouri River to the Council Bluffs [15 miles north of Omaha on the NE side.] and then over land to the Platte River and up the south fork to the mountains. Then wen down the front range to the Arkansas River and back to Ft. Smith, AR.
There will be others portraying the Pike expedition of 1806 and Lt. Fremont in the 1840's. It is a one time event associated with the Bicentennial of the Pike Expedition.
Shoot lots and have a great time. Since I can't make it, RCJ will have to have a drink, or 3 for me!! I'm sure that he is up to it.
