Camera: Zero 2000 Pinhole
Film: Kodak Portra 400
Exposure Time: 3 Hours
Location: Belltown, Seattle
Series: Pinhole'd Breweries and Pubs
Continuing along with the Pinhole'd Breweries and Pubs series with an offering from the Frontier Room. This establishment has proven to be rather difficult to capture with my pinhole camera due to it's dark interior and dim lighting. Luck would have it that my friends and I frequent the Frontier Room most Wednesdays for Geeks Who Drink trivia, allowing me to experiment with my pinhole camera. The perfect way to celebrate the half way point of the work week.
If you love trivia you should check out the Geeks Who Drink website (linked above), they have outfits in several major US cities around the country, who knows they might be in yours. Its free to play, light hearted and heavy on the pop culture. Winners get money off their tab and their is chances for free beer between rounds. Whats not to like right?
The restaurant itself is frontier logging themed as you might guess from the name on the marquee. Large murals and photographs adorn the walls of turn of the century loggers and such. The food is barbecue and lots of it. And of course the bar is stocked full of many of the best local beers, as is to be expected in any self-respecting Seattle establishment.
The Frontier Room's website can be found here.
I probably spent more time processing this image than any other I have posted recently. When we saw Frontier Donald, we had just gotten off the bus, and my camera was still fogged up from the air conditioning. To make matters worse, I ran to Splash Mountain to get FastPasses while Sarah waited in line for Donald, so I didn't have much time to fine tune settings. After we got our picture taken, I basically just snapped this shot, and hoped for the best. I probably wouldn't have spent time processing it, but the picture provided a nice vehicle for the substance of today's caption...
As I alluded to yesterday, we are staying in a cabin at Fort Wilderness during our October trip. Initially, I wasn't so enthused about this idea, but it was the cheapest option when we booked a room at the last minute (we almost did the Dolphin, but it was more expensive and we'd have to rent a car or pay for a shuttle in lieu of DME). When I was young, my parents and I used to stay at Fort Wilderness in our camper. However, I haven't stayed there in roughly 15 years, I think (Mom, I'm sure you're reading this, is that correct?). The few memories I do remember from Fort Wilderness are good ones. I remember getting a Dale (dressed in his Chip 'N' Dale Hawaiian shirt) plush on one of our first trips there at the Outpost, and I remember going to the Hoop De Doo Revue a couple of times, but that's about it. My biggest concern initially was the internal bus routes at the Fort, as I have heard that they can make getting to and from the Parks a pain.
However, these fears were alleviated yesterday after doing some more research (plus, if it's really that bad, we'll walk to the Outpost Bus Stop) and stumbling upon the Disboards Camping Board. The best way I can describe this board is as a close-knit community of Fort Wilderness lovers who seem to have more fun there than any of us typical "Resort-Goers" and have a great amount of knowledge about Fort Wilderness. After spending a couple hours combing the Fort Wilderness Picture of the Day thread, I became very excited about staying at the Fort.
Now, I am beginning to form a plan of attack for some late night and early morning shooting. Maybe even an excursion over to the remnants of River Country will be in order...

This is a view of the outer defences of Fort Frederick, MD., from the tip of the south-western bastion north along the western curtain wall towards the north-western bastion in the distance.
Fort Frederick was built in 1756-57 when a £6,000 appropriation (equivalent to £1.1 million in 2012) was authorised by the Maryland Legislature at the request of Governor Horatio Sharpe to build a fortification on the frontier. The fort, named after Frederick Calvert, 6th Baron Baltimore, was completed the following year. The large stone fort was designed primarily as a place of refuge for area settlers. Between 1757 and 1758, small raids by Indians in nearby settlements, caused settlers in the surrounding countryside to flee eastward. At the same time, men of the 60th Regiment of Foot and local militia soldiers garrisoned the fort. Ranging parties were sent from the fort to patrol the area and to deter if not prevent Indian raids.
The fort was not designed to resist artillery, as it was correctly assumed that the French would not be able to transport artillery to the remote location from the west. The fort served its purpose in 1763 during Pontiac's Rebellion; however, the fort was never directly attacked. From 1777 to 1783 during the American Revolutionary War, the fort was used as a prisoner of war camp for as many as 1,000 captured British and German soldiers.
Fort Frederick was sold at auction in 1791 and lay abandoned until the American Civil War. The fort was garrisoned at the outbreak of war and was used as a gun emplacement to protect the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal and the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, which parallelled the canal. The 1st Maryland Infantry (US) occupied the area in December 1861 and Company H fought in a skirmish at the fort against Confederate raiders on Christmas Day, 1861. The regiment left in February 1862. In October 1862 a picket from the 12th Illinois Cavalry briefly occupied the area. The military usefulness of the fort ended by 1862.
In 1922 the property was acquired by the State of Maryland for use as Maryland's first state park. The walls had deteriorated, but were standing up to 2.4m in places. Archaeological investigations and the discovery of the original plans allowed a complete reconstruction, with much of the restoration work done in the 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps.
The fort is a large stone quadrangle with bastions at each corner. Each face of the curtain wall is about 55m long, 5.3m high and 0.91m thick at the base. The bastions project diagonally about 30m, are 1.4m thick at the base, and were filled with earth to provide a platform. The main gate is located in the centre of the south curtain wall. Two of the three barracks buildings have been restored. The west barrack is reconstructed to its 1758 appearance, while the east barrack contains displays regarding the history of the fort. The north barrack, known as the Governor's House, has not been reconstructed.
The fort was designated a Historic National Landmark in 1973.
TOPEKA, Kansas, March, 2021 – 258 arrests were made in 10 days as part of Operation Frontier Justice. The U.S. Marshals and Topeka Police, working with multiple federal, state and local law enforcement partners, conducted the operation aimed at reducing violent crime and drug activity in and around Topeka.
In addition to the 258 arrests, 16 of which were gang members, the operation resulted in the seizure of 24 firearms, nearly 19 kilograms of narcotics to include marijuana, cocaine, methamphetamine and heroin and $25,000 in U.S. currency.
Frontier Justice is part of a national violent crime reducing initiative, developed by The U. S. Marshals, called Operation Triple Beam to target and arrest violent fugitives and criminal offenders who commit high-profile crimes such as homicide, felony assault and sexual assault, illegal possession of firearms, illegal drug distribution, robbery and arson.
Each local, state and federal agency utilizes enforcement techniques and statutory authority in order to disrupt the criminal operations of violent gangs across the county and in the Topeka and surrounding areas.

This Episcopal church is considered to be one of the prettiest frontier churches still standing. Located on Highway 50 in downtown Austin, Nevada, USA, the church was built in 1878, and is still in regular use. Austin (elevation 6,605 feet) is a "living ghost town", a well-preserved example of an early Nevada mining town. Current population is around 200. The town was discovered in 1862 when a horse kicked up a piece of quartz containing gold and silver. The horse’s owner sent the piece of quartz to Virginia City, Nevada for assay, and staked out a claim. When word got out, others followed, and a silver rush was on. By the summer of 1863, Austin and the surrounding area had a population of more than 10,000. The 1971 film Vanishing Point includes a police chase through Austin. Part of Stephen King's horror novel Desperation is set in Austin. Highway 50 through Nevada has earned the designation as “The Loneliest Road in America”. It also follows the old Lincoln Highway - one of the earliest transcontinental highways (circa 1913).

The 1700's American Indian Hamlet at the Frontier Culture Museum in Staunton, Virginia.
The 1700s American Indian Hamlet at the Frontier Culture Museum represents how a small group of native Americans might have been living west of the Blue Ridge around 1730, or just near the beginning of European and West African settlement in the wider region. What visitors may find perplexing, but hopefully thought provoking is that no tribal designation is given to the people represented, rather they are discussed in terms of their Eastern Woodlands culture and the impact of colonial trade, disease, and territorial expansion has on their way of life. A combination of factors led the Museum to take this approach. The first is the ambiguous nature of the archaeological and historical record of American Indians in the region, which for present purposes will include the vast area that might be thought of as the middle area of the Great Appalachian Valley from what is now south central Pennsylvania, central Maryland, and western Virginia. The western reaches of this area extend into the Ohio Valley and encompass what is now south western Pennsylvania, western Maryland, all of West Virginia, and parts of eastern Kentucky. What is curious about this area is that it is very rich in archaeological evidence of human occupation from the earliest date until roughly the beginning of European contact, but there is very little evidence that the people Europeans learned to call Indians were living there to any great extent when those Europeans began to settle in it in considerable numbers roughly one hundred and twenty-five to one hundred and fifty years later. Furthermore, the identity of the people or peoples who lived in the regions for millennia and left behind such a rich archaeological record in not known with any certainty, and are now generally referred to by their archaeological labels.
As fascinating and helpful as archaeology can be, it does not necessarily help establish the true identity for the people who produce the material is unearthed. This is especially true of the area outlined above, which, for the sake of brevity, will henceforth be referred to as the Middle Appalachian region. It does not tell us with certainty if, for example, the people of the so-called Monongahela culture were the direct ancestors of the people known to Europeans and to history has the Shawnee. Archaeology can tell us with some precision where the people of Monongahela culture lived, the shape of their houses, the layout of their villages, the design and mineral composition of their pottery, the food they ate, and more, but they cannot tell us in terms meaningful to us who they were or what became of them. The same is true of the so-called Lewis Creek Mound Culture found in the Museum’s more immediate geographic area. In recent years, some archaeologists and Virginia Indians have promoted the idea that the people of the Lewis Creek Mound Culture were the ancestors of the Monacans contacted by John Smith, and the modern Monacan Indian Nation.
