Willamette Mission this weekend was a great camping trip for the Berdans. While the temperatures regularly approached ninety degrees a quick swim in the Willamette River made it much more bearable. Taking in the battles was at times disappointing and amusing. The Union Battalion still loves long drill and their hard work clearly shows with such battlefield commands as "retreat on the Major!" and "rally on the left!" The battles were awkward with the Union constantly ignoring their flanks despite artillery fire, cavalry attacks, and infantry fire. Apparently they thought if they ignored the Secesh they would go away. My personal fav was the continuing increase in the use of work boots instead of brogans. The farb appears to be spreading but that wasn't the most shocking. Entirely out of the blue, I was called over by Capt. Sturgill to witness a man dressed in a terrible Native American costume. A photo of the person is in the slide show.
