My brother Bob and I went out to the 145th anniversary of the Battle of Bentonville, NC, today.
It was a great experience until ....
Free parking and plenty of sutlers offering any and everything a Civil War buff or re-enactor could want. If that was all you wanted to do, it was free.
But, major waits in line for food (only two vendors that I could see) bathrooms (definitely not enough port-a-potties) and even a wait to get tickets to see the battle. These cost $10 apiece for adults ($8 before Mar
ch). said it was actually 4,500.
However, more re-enactors than I had ever seen. In advance, the number was announced at 3,500, but a sutler old us it was closer to 4,500.
More to Come. --RoadDog
