As I drove up to the Historic Dunkirk Lighthouse, I passed the beach all set up for battle and I felt like I was transported back in time. Once I got to the lighthouse I felt like I was continually being thrown in a time machine and spit out at various points of history. To my right were reenactment camps ranging from the French and Indian War up to World War II, in front of me was a stage with a mix of contemporary and oldies music playing, to my left were crafters and behind me was the Historic Lighthouse. However, when the battle reenactments took place during the day on Saturday and the AK-47’s began to go off, it was clear that I had stepped out of the time machine into World War II. Saturday night I was delighted to hear from some of Chautauqua County’s best young musical talent, the Infinity Rock Band.
On Sunday I got to host some of my favorite guests in the Seaway Trail tent, my parents!! As they wandered around the grounds, I had them take pictures. So without further ado, I will share with you the pictures from our guest photographers: David and Sylvia:
As I left Dunkirk and drove East, with the setting sun behind me, I couldn’t help but to feel that the sunset was symbolic of the end of my journey on the Seaway Trail this summer. Thanks for hitting the road with me, and I hope that you go out and enjoy the Trail, the way I have this summer!!!
