Spanish Fort/Blakely Alabama

I will be helping to man a 6 pounder at Blakely State Park today.  I'll try to post some pics later if that is permitted?

You're darned right it's permitted; permitted, wanted, and welcome!

RIP John. While on vacation July 4th 2013 in northern Wisconsin, he was ATVing with family and pulled ahead of everyone and took off at break-neck speed without a helmet. He lost control.....hit a tree....and the tree won.  He died instantly.

Thanks, Swampman, great pictures...of course your reputation now is ruined, none of the  Guns are Remingtons!  ;D  But they are perfectly acceptable here...Swampman the cannoneer, has a ring to  it.

Makin' noise and smelling blackpowder is what fun is all about!
