man & nature # 169 ~ it's a grand old flag
Fort Ticonderoga, July 4, 2009 • click to embiggenSince it's the nation's birthday and all, the wife and I took Hugo to Fort Ticonderoga, which is just a short drive away on Lake Champlain.
The site was first forted by the French, then the Brits, then the Americans took it from the Brits, then the Brits took it back again, then the Americans kicked their asses, and then they went home.
Maybe one of these days we can get things turned around. Here's hoping.
Now it's off to Lake Placid - where it's a balmy(?) 50˚F - for the fireworks.
