photos as anotner example of how strange people in California and the U.S. are. We'll never know...

Due to park regulations we couldn't camp there and so had to break down the tents and reassemble them on Sunday morning. Some members went home for the evening, but a small group stayed at the home of Park Ranger Maureen Rodgers where we watched a videotape of "Demetrius and the Gladiators". This definitely helped prepare us mentally for the next day. Surely we could face a little wind, fog, and cold. Those would have been the least of Demetrius' problems...

The sun did peek out a couple of times Sunday, and warm us up briefly, allowing us to get some very good photos. The tourists of course took advantage of our presence for many good photo opps, as they always do. But all good things must end, and so on Sunday afternoon we packed up all the gear, folded the tents, and returned control of Fort Point to the present-day caretakers. Then we all parted ways for the time being, looking forward to the next event.

Keeping watch and guard over the activities of Darrath is Auxiliary Arthurius Britannius, while Centurio Marcus checks in at our LXF display table.  

Optio Antonius Lucius trains a few potential recruits from the public while Legionary Calventius Victor watches and Centurio Marcus supervises the drill.  

Standing at attention inside Fort Point are: (Left to Right) Titus Aeldres, Calventius Victor, Arthurius Britannius, Antony Lucius, Centurio Marcus, and Lady Lydia.
