Fort Mifflin 2005
Aye, 35 degrees, frost still on the ground, mates still
asleep. What a great way to kick off an event!
Seamen Jonathan (Goose) and Howard Helmer get
their first look at the fort, preparing for the events of
the first day.

They weren't kidding when
they said the fort was in the
glide path of the airport!!
