Re-Enactors, at any event, do a wonderful job in presenting a look back into history.  What is presented here are the re-enactors that appear at the MID ATLANTIC AIR MUSEUM - World War II
Weekend
held in June and located in Reading, PA. This year was the 17th year.  One of the best airshows and re-enactments around.  Date for next years show is June 1 -3.

LOOKING FOR A ROAD TRIP?

Summer has begun.  Looking for ideas of a destination?  Read through the archives of this blog and
get some inspiration of great places.  For instance above on the left is Gettysburg, Mesa Verde, Highway1 ​on the California coast, and below is Jackson Hole, WY.  We will visit these soon but for now....
How about a couple of train rides?  Here is the STRASSBURG RAILROAD, located in Strassburg, PA.
Although only forty minutes long, you will see some beautiful Amish farms and perhaps a buggy or two.
In my opinion the absolute best is the DURANGO AND SILVERTON
If you do find yourself in Durango be sure to drive the "Million Dollar Highway", CO 550, between
Silverton and Ouray.  A beautiful drive anytime of the year; but if raining or snow be aware - no gard
rails and at some points a sheer drop of several hundred feet.

Although anytime is great to visit, I prefer Fall or early Winter.  Summer though is best for Four Wheeling because the passes are free of snow.
Downtown Silverton.
​

If you need someplace to eat I would highly recomend the following:
Breakfast in Durango you can't beat the DURANGO DINER.  Try the Breakfast Burrito!
If you are in Silverton and looking fora meal one of my favorite places is HANDELBARS
Great lunch and a suburb dinner.  Try the Rib Eye and finish off with a homemade Peach Cobler!
   Should you overnight in Ouray and looking for a place to eat, I reccomend for breakfast or lunch the
​   TIMBERLINE DELI  and the best homemade donuts you can find.
Another option for lunch or dinner is O'BRIENS PUB
Picture
Fish and Chips and a fine Chardonnay.  Can't beat it after a hard day of play in the back country.

A relitive short drive of only a couple of hours is Cortez and nearby is Mesa Verde.
Picture
Stay in Cortez for it is really the only place around.  I reccomend staying at the
BAYMONT INN & SUITES.   For good dinning  try the DESTINATION GRILL right across the parking lot
Picture
Well there you go.  A few places to drive, ride or fly to see.  We will visit others  in a few weeks.
Be sure to read through the "Archives" for the full articles of the above.  Enjoy!

Been busy shooting and now editing the footage of two Air Shows.  If you like Warbirds you will like
the post that should be up in a week or so.  In the mean time I have a couple of teases below.
Also in a future post will be images and a video of the Re Enactors that are present at a few Air Shows.
Hats off to these people for the great job they do to bring us a glimpse of what it was like to be in the
​Great War or the World War II theaters.

As you can see above, these presentations can be very HEAVY in the display .  Lots of work and expense is put out and I hope to present them to you later this month.  Be sure to return!
