OK guys the date is set.

Then to Ft Stevens for more pictures around the battery. (Around the Wreck of the Peter Iredale too?)
Remember to bring some $ for the parking at the Battery. (there are stairs - we may need to remove certain armor pieces to traverse.)

We will need Spotters and Photographer/Videographers.

I'm out at seaside pretty often on weekends, so if you need a spotter let me know. I'd love to be able to participate while still getting my costume together.

I'd like to join but will my TK be acceptable since it's a clean version?  I do have an orange pauldron.

If not, I would be happy to be a spotter and/or photographer.

$100 fee for anybody showing up in costume + lots of paperwork. Possible refundable, but too close to make it happen.

I suspect that the fee for Fort Stevens would have covered Batteries Russell and Pratt, correct? Of course, I wouldn't know about the Washington side with Fort Columbia.

This was a great troop, and my inaugural troop as an official member!  What a great day.  Perfect trooping weather, and LOTS of people!  All the kids were in absolute awe and they had a great time posing with us and asking all sorts of questions about why we were at the beach.  :)

I'm going through Phil's gallery now and besides the awesome pic with my Mom, this one is my favorite:

Thanks again to everyone for making this such a successful troop!  Looking forward to many more!
