The Battle of Olustee

One of our favorite Reenactments, The Battle of Olustee, is an all day experience. We usually leave around 4:30 to 5:00 A.M. and get home around 11:00 P.M.. It's always a blast, but by the time we get home, we're exhausted!! This year the four eldest Dischers and the Stokes rode with us. Thank you all for making the day EXTRA special.
