I have been at Sailor's Creek and have taken four rolls of film of the LFR route and Sailor's Creek. The photos will be posted on the LFR website the first week in October.
The LFR route is over roads traveled by the armies of that time. The most pristine land to cross over. The majority of the route is flat. The campsites on Friday night are primative. The Saturday night campsites are the 18th Century Selma Plantation for the Federals and the next plantation, with historic structures for the Confederates.
The Federal cavalry will be encamped Friday evening farther northeast of the Federal camp and will ride over part of the hill land route at the beginning of 2000's march to join up at some point with the Federal infantry.
Any mounted Confederates will be encamped with their infantry Friday night.
Federal and Confederats should bring shovels, picks, axes, shelter halves and otherwise light travel.
Sinks will be dug by the troops Friday night. Axes for felling trees for corderoy roads (as needed}, firewood and bridge construction.Dave Born and I met with a representative of Southside Electric and we have received permission to bury the powerlines on Sailor's Creek State Park.
