Thanks for the interest! Please email to get your name on the list for the registration URL. There may be someone else from your area with whom you can car pool. It's a long drive from your place, eh?

Here are some videos I made at the event. I plan on posting more after the next event.

Excellent! Thanks, Marcus!

By the way, the weather that day felt a lot cooler than the weatherman had suggested, and there was a light mist in the air, which probably was one of the large reasons there were not many visitors to the fort. But we had a great time anyway, and finally decided that our finicky camera has made its last trip out. It works at home, but evidently does not like to travel, as it refuses to take pictures away from the house. It will be a fine paperweight, though.

Feel free to put up the video of Mike Lockhart's Celt presentation, Marcus. Nice stuff.
