August 6,2011

at 9 pm they shot off the canyons, it was very impressive

actually cooked food on an open fire with cast iron skillets and kettles

inside one of the tents




Fort D Civil War Site...constructed in the summer of 1861 by Union troops under the leadership of Lt. John Wesley Powell, For D is the only remaining fort out of four Civil War forts that once protected the city of Cape Girardeau from Confederate attack.  The earthwork walls remain intact and historical signage throughout the fort's grounds bring its storied past to life...

Today we slept in and went and got some groceries...then we drove around some, then later we went to a Civil War re-enactment, around 9pm tonight they fired off the cannon's...I got the sound but too dark to see what they were doing.
