By now we would imagine that everyone is getting bored by always seeing a photo of the truck and the Airstream situated in some site of a campground. For all you would know we just move the truck around from one site to another at the same campground! Actually we are always some where different and we decided that we would have to stay home one weekend of each month. This year for the Forth of July we decided to celebrate the holiday at Fort Ticonderoga, a location filled with history starting in 1666. The actual fort was built in 1758 by the French. Several key battles were fought between France and England and the fort eventually fell to the British. Fast forward a bit, May 10th, 1775 and the fort was taken by Colonel Benedict Arnold and Ethan Allen & The Green Mountain Boys. And so the story continues. There are so many flags flying at the fort today you do need a quick history lesson to figure out who is who.
