The afternoon of our third workshop day was spent at a working western movie set (they had just finished an Adam Sandler film). This is one of the sets built for a film along the way, with one member of our class getting a closer look.

1700's Irish Farmhouse at the Frontier Culture Museum in Staunton, Virginia.
The migration of Irish Protestants from Ulster, Ireland’s northernmost province, to the American colonies began by 1718. By the American Revolution, more than 100,000 Ulster immigrants had arrived in America, representing the single largest movement from the British Isles to British North America in the 1700s. In America these people and their descendants came to be known as the, “Scotch-Irish,” to recall their Scottish and Irish origins, and distinguish them for the Catholic Irish who arrived in the United States in the mid-1800s.
Most Ulster immigrants came to the colony of Pennsylvania. Competing with the Germans for land in southeastern Pennsylvania, many Irish families made their way through the Great Valley of the Appalachians to settle in western Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, and the piedmont of North Carolina. By the end of the 1700s, theirs was the dominant English-speaking culture in the colonial American backcountry.

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.
Shooting towards the sun gave this shot a unique overexposed old school film look. It almost made the Recycle Bin; but I decided to give it an old "Frontier" look. I'm A LOT happier with it now. :)

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.

Frontier Airlines 727-100/200 | N7270F and N7276F | "Arrow Jets" livery | 1966-1972
There was a time in the 1970s when Frontier Airlines was the one of the most significant operators of the Boeing 737 and it was on the dependable 737-200 that the airline rose to prominence to challenge the established major carriers of the day. To go from humble beginnings flying second-hand Douglas DC-3s to having the second largest route network in the United States when the first 737-200s arrived at the airline is a story that for the most part has remained hidden to history, overshadowed by the storied legacies of larger airlines like American, Delta, or United.
Frontier's first jets were actually 727-100s styled as "Arrow Jets" which first entered service with Frontier in 1966, becoming the first local service carrier to fly the 727. The first orders were placed in 1965 for 5 aircraft with options for 5 more at a cost of $55 million. It was a gutsy gamble- Frontier was ordering planes for routes that it had not yet been awarded by the Civil Aeronautics Board! The first aircraft to be delivered was N7270F arriving in September 1966 and the last 727-100 being delivered by July 1967. The 727-100s were outfitted for 24 seats in first class and 75 seats in coach. The first routes flown were on the newly awarded routes between St. Louis and Salt Lake City that also had intermediate stops at Kansas City Downtown, Lincoln, Denver and Grand Junction.
Route expansions (aided by the acquisition of Fort Worth-based Central Airlines in 1967) and further route authorities granted by the Civil Aeronautics Board to Dallas Love Field brought about the move in 1968 to larger 727-200s with an order for 5 727-200s which were styled as "Super Jet 727s" by the airline. Only a year later in 1969 Lewis Dymond, president of Frontier, retired- at the helm of the airline since 1962, Dymond did much to restore the airline to profitability through the latter half of 1960s that allowed the acquisition of jet equipment. Replacing Dymond was E. Paul Burke. Burke only served at the helm of the airline for a short two years, but his legacy to the airline was his realization in 1969 that the 737-200 was far more suited to Frontier's network than the 727s. The first five 737-200s were ordered as one of his first acts as president of the airline and the 727-100s were traded in to Boeing as part of the payment for the first 737s. Within a year the -100s were phased out with the last 727-100 leaving Frontier in December 1969. All 5 of those -100s would later end up with Braniff International.
The 737-200s could serve even smaller airports than the larger 727s and this allowed Frontier a more flexible aircraft for its route network- the new jets were at home flying to smaller cities like Scottsbluff, Nebraska or Grand Junction, Colorado just as easily as larger cities like Dallas or Denver. By the time the first 737-200s were delivered, in terms of cities served, Frontier had the second-largest route network in the United States.
The first 737-191s arrived in April 1969 and by 1970 had 10 737-200s on strength with the airline. By the time of Burke's departure from the executive suite in 1971, the 727s were being phased out for good- only 3 of 4 727-200s were delivered and all three were phased out by April 1972, again as with the -100s, all of them ended up with Braniff International.
Succeeding Burke would be Frontier's greatest president, Al Feldman. Under Feldman's tenure from 1971 to 1979, Frontier standardized its jet equipment on the 737-200 and entered a period of impressive expansion, profitability and rise to prominence as one of the largest regional carriers in the United States. By the time of the introduction of the final Saul Bass colors in April 1978, Frontier had 32 737-200s on strength with 10 more on order. Frontier's western route network stretched into both Canada and Mexico, from California and Washington in the West to as far east as Michigan and Georgia. Denver Stapleton became one of the few three-airline major hubs of its day, with Frontier ably holding its own against incumbents Continental and United. Undoubtedly it was the flexible operating economics of the 737-200 that allowed Frontier to weather the economic turmoil that hit the industry in the early 1970s.
The Boeing 727-100/200 remain but a short footnote in Frontier's history as a result, but an important one as they were the first local service carrier to fly the 727 and it gave them valuable jet experience until the 737-200 fleet was able to shoulder the burden of passenger services.

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).
