It has been very busy the past two weeks. I got to visit a War of 1812 location, Mackinac Island:

But we went to the Grand Hotel rather than the fort. We were up for a ballroom dance weekend, which was a lot of fun, but the weather was awful on Sunday morning when we had some exploratory time. The fort was closed for the season as well.

If we do this again, we'll add some tourist time to the agenda.
Meanwhile, I'm preparing to set up the NQSYW fortress for a siege game in a few weeks, so I expect to have miniatures activity to report soon.
