Anybody notice the field irrigator, street light, power lines, natural gas meter, electrical panel and furnace exhaust /intake?
I can't make out the greenhouse looking thing in the distance... :haha:

Yeah this was rebuilt next to the original site. There is a hayfield to the east where the pivot is and the fort does have some modern things piped in but the museum part is authentic no lights or gas heat the trade store only had a fireplace for heat. I should have took more pictures.

Well, the fort is in an industrial area, and up against farmland.

You might have seen us we were about the only ones not dressed up. Lol :rotf:

 

[Tallswife]

LOL! Your boy looks familiar. Did you see a woman in a tricorn gimping around on a cane? That was me

 

[coloradoclyde]

Just poking fun of the modern world... :haha:
Thanks for posting the pictures..... :thumbsup:

 

[uno676]

No problem I actually wondered if somebody would say something about the pivot. I didn't notice the gas meter.

I spent most of my time talking to a gentle man that had a rack of guns in front of his camp. I should have got his name very nice guy. My son liked the ax throwing and the cannon.

 

[Tallswife]

That would be Ed, and that's where I saw you!!

 

[uno676]

So are you guys from noco area? I talked to one gentleman that was from down south.

 

[Tallswife]

Yup! We are having a Colonial play day at our place in April also and Ed will be there. There is a post here for it.

We used to have a Colorado poster here who was quite an elk hunter -- GreenMtnBoy -- and he mentioned a time or two a cold-weather event held at Bent's Fort. That's one of my favorite places in that fine state.
