I'm getting excited about Christmas at Old Fort Concho. There is a ton of things for the youngsters. Boys get a "boot camp" and learn how to drill and march. Girls get Miss Birdie's Tea Party. This year the event is 2, 3, 4 December. I'm looking at getting gear together. This year I'll probably use the Nikon D3100. Below is the Wells Fargo Stagecoach. In a previous year a bunch of bandits tried to rob the coach while some kids were riding in it. They were thrilled with the gunfight that ensued and the sheriff rounding up the bad guys. This was taken on my Olympus E-520, ISO 400. Weather permitting I'm going to have a lot of fun that weekend.

Beautiful coach. A reproduction, I assume?

I think it is a reproduction but I'm not sure. Most of the equipment the fort has is original. But this coach is owned by Wells Fargo. My friend Conrad handles the coach. He retired from the fort a few years back but I think Wells Fargo has him for presentations and special events. Hopefully he'll be there this Christmas and hopefully I'll remember to ask him if I don't have a senior moment.
