Just check around at a local display and get in with them there. It's a load of fun!

Ok now this might be a stupid question but I honestly don't know. How would I find a display?

Not a reenactor, or even an actor, but here are some pics I shot on Dog Green at 0600 on 6/6/09.

StraightEight, I recognize your jeep! Did you ship "Rum Buggy" back over to the states, or did you sell it over there?

Sold it in the UK to a guy from Arnhem, Holland who wanted it for the Market Garden anniversary. Had to. The dollar crashed and the jeep was suddenly worth about $3000 more than what I paid for it. Had I shipped it home, it would have cost $2000 and been worth the same amount in dollars as what I paid for it in pounds sterling. The head won this battle with the heart.

Yeah those CHG events are the best on the west coast. Over 250 men and women. Plenty of armor, no other event has armor like the the CHG Camp Robert's battles.

Here is a few of our pictures from the CHG West Coast Regional, November
