tom4141tom, 6 months ago 10 years ago, 12 hours in the life of a reenactor. We really are all quite mad! A thread. Dec. 18th, 8:00 p.m. on a plane in Atlanta, hoping for an ontime departure for Toronto! I would have to land, clear customs, retrieve my vehicle and still drive an hour plus to Niagara On The Lake! 1/ @warof1812 @histodon @histodons
