Fort Ticonderoga, formerly Fort Carillon, is a large 18th-century star fort built by the French at a narrows near the south end of Lake Champlain in northern New York in the United States. It was constructed by Canadian-born French military engineer Michel Chartier de Lotbinière, Marquis de Lotbinière between October 1755 and 1757 during the Seven Years' War, often referred to as the French and Indian War in the US. It was of strategic importance during the 18th-century colonial conflicts between Great Britain and France, and again played an important role during the American Revolutionary War.
The site controlled a river portage alongside the mouth of the rapids-infested La Chute River in the 3.5 miles (5.6 km) between Lake Champlain and Lake George and was strategically placed in conflicts over trade routes between the British-controlled Hudson River Valley and the French-controlled Saint Lawrence River Valley. The terrain amplified the importance of the site. Both lakes were long and narrow, oriented north–south, as were the many ridge lines of the Appalachian Mountains extending as far south as Georgia, creating the near-impassable mountainous terrains to the east and west of the Great Appalachian Valley that the site commanded. The name "Ticonderoga" comes from the Iroquois word tekontaró:ken, meaning "it is at the junction of two waterways".
During the 1758 Battle of Carillon, 4,000 French defenders were able to repel an attack by 16,000 British troops near the fort. In 1759, the British returned and drove a token French garrison from the fort merely by occupying high ground that threatened the fort. During the American Revolutionary War, the fort again saw action in May 1775 when the Green Mountain Boys and other state militia under the command of Ethan Allen and Benedict Arnold captured it in a surprise attack. Cannons captured were transported to Boston where their deployment forced the British to abandon the city in March 1776. The Americans held the fort until June 1777, when British forces under General John Burgoyne again occupied high ground above it and threatened the Continental Army troops, leading them to withdraw from the fort and its surrounding defenses. The only direct attack on the fort took place in September 1777, when John Brown led 500 Americans in an unsuccessful attempt to capture the fort from about 100 British defenders.
The British abandoned the fort after the failure of the Saratoga campaign, and it ceased to be of military value after 1781. It fell into ruin, leading people to strip it of some of its usable stone, metal, and woodwork. It became a stop on tourist routes of the area in the 19th century. Its private owners restored the fort early in the 20th century. A foundation now operates the fort as a tourist attraction, museum, and research center.
I spent a couple of days this weekend visiting my mom in Elkhart, IN along with my brother Paul Horst from Oklahoma. While we were there we visited the National New York Central Railroad Museum. In the 1880's our great grandfather A. R. Miller decided to go west like so many others during that time. While on a temporary stop-over in Elkhart, IN, he decided to go no further and settled there. For a while he was employed by the New York Central Railroad working at the turntable and roundhouse servicing and turning locomotives, preparing them for their return to New York. Paul and I hanging out on NYC Mohawk 3001.

Alex Williams stood in a dark alleyway. On her brother's urging, she had arranged a meeting to by clone, a drug contraband in New Blok City, from the Skull, a well-known crime boss and drug trafficker. Now, she was wishing she hadn't. The Skull's minions had yet to show, and If she didn't get out of there soon, she was going to get mugged. As she was debating whether or not to . continue waiting, she felt a sharp tap on her shoulder. Alex spun around to see a man in a creepy latex mask, shaped like a skull, staring at her. "Are you-" "Yes." The man replied. "Let's get down to business." "I trust you have my payment?" "Y-y-yes" Alex stammered. She was terrified, both of getting caught by the police and the man in the skull mask. "Excellent." The man said, holding out his hand. "Clone first." Alex said with all the confidence she could muster. "This good enough for you?" The goon asked, opening a black suitcase. Inside were ten hypodermic needles, each containing a milky gray fluid. "Y-yes." Alex stammered again, Holding out a two crisp $100 bills. "Pleasure doing business with you." The dealer said wryly, grabbing the bill out of her hand and handing her the suitcase. "If you ever need me, you know who to call." He said, walking away. Alex nervously took one of the needles and injected it into her arm. As the clone rushed through her veins, she felt the excited tingling sensation her brother, Drake, had described, but also some thing else. Alex fell to the ground, shaking and sweating profusely as her body began to overheat. As she slipped from consciousness, she heard the scratchy voice of the henchman say, "Yes, Boss. Everything is going to plan."
This is my first entry to the League of Heroes 8x8 contest. I hope you enjoyed it! Also, the drug "clone" is a creation of fellow league member Andhe :-), and The Skull is a character of Jeremy Green's.
The Mohawk Theater in North Adams has been seen here in 2014 and 2019 but never from this angle. The theater has been closed since 1991. It is owned by the city of North Adams which was trying to sell it a couple of years ago. The city secured funding last year to refurbish the marquee but that story is behind a paywall and I can't find any follow-up information.
2009 Chevrolet C-3500 HD 4x4 chassis w/ a Wheeled Coach type I box.
The home for this vehicle, varies by year (for the NYRA season), and the needs of the company (for the off-season).
This vehicle, for those who follow thoroughbred racing, is one of the ambulances that chases the horses during the meet at the Saratoga Race Track each year.
Mohawk Falls, Ricketts Glen SP, PA.
Some 37 feet high Mohawk Falls are at the top of the Ganoga Glen. In early May it was noticeably less green than lower down the valley

Main pic, comment/fave on this pic, if you only do one. :>
Known for it's most unusual, yet predominant features, the "Mohawk" is used for speed, and firepower. Armed with 18 rockets, this mech could take down anything, fast. :3
Inspired by Lemon-Boy, and his frame.
Looking up the Mohawk River just below where the Erie Canal Starts (to the right), Peebles Island State Park is to the left and Mohawk fine papers is in the background.
ah sorry i cut half of my head off but i promise i will get a better pic of my mohawk.......and Vive Le Rock!!!!!!
Mon Moc le plus ambitieux (hors LDD) jusqu’à présent. Pratiquement fini (à 4 pièces près coté tribord, elles sont commandées). L’engin est solide, on peut le prendre sans problème par n’importe quel bout. Point de vue jouabilité il y a deux lasers fonctionnels. On peut mettre une fig à l’intérieur, mais l’ouverture est un peu étroite. J’ai modifié la portière cela dit par rapport au LDD, la première version, s’ouvrait tout le temps ou ne restait pas ouverte. Cette version là, tient en place, s’ouvre plus et est plus classe. Comme quoi, LDD c’est classe, on a un nombre de pièces illimité, mais rien ne vaut l’expérimentation.
Bon, à ma connaissance, il n’existait pas encore de version Tie avec le cockpit dans l’aile verticale. Je ne sais vraiment pas pourquoi, parce que franchement je trouve ça cool. Je l’imagine tout à fait dans une bataille spatiale épic. Propulsé dans l’espace sur double rail à partir d’un Destroyer Stellaire. Pew ! Pew ! Woosh… Pouxche !!! Vous voyez le genre de délire…
Point de vue lore… Autant je le vois bien en l’air ou en action, ou stocké sur le râtelier dans un destroyer stellaire ou une base terrestre équipé d’une rampe de lancement. Autant je ne le vois pas se poser sur une base non équipé ou sur un sol. Et même s’il en était capable, vaudrait mieux pas être sur une planète avec du vent !
Point de vue visibilité du pilote… Bah déjà les 1er Tie c’est pas génial en champ visuel pur. Sans capteur, objectivement TOUS les ties sont aveugles, à moins que la cible soit devant eux, comme dans un couloir, ou une tranchée. Donc on va dire qu’ils se basent sur des capteurs dans tous les sens est puis c’est marre ! Même chose là. J’envisage cela dit des sticker sur les cotés, façon semi verrières. Faut voir. Je testerai.
Point de vue performance. La carlingue du Tie Mohawk étant plus longue et l’engin plus effilé, j’imagine ça vitesse de pointe plus importante, ou la présence d’un bouclier. Il est aussi plus aérodynamique qu’un Tie classique, mais déjà dans l’espace on s’en moque, ensuite si en atmosphère ça pénètre mieux dans l’air, ça n’améliore pas la protance, sauf à volé penché sur le coté. On peut aussi imaginer la présence d’un hyperdrive ce qui ferait de cet engin un éclaireur.
Concernant le nom… Bin Tie Moc, Tie Mohawk «l’iroquois».
Chose à améliorer : Les gaps au-dessus et en-dessous du cockpit, l’intérieur coloré de l’aile un peu trop visible sur la tranche, mais j’étais à court de noir. Le « X » sur les ailes.
