Columbus, GA

That was a blast; Chuck Damren, Nelson Markham, Dean Baker, Dave Spell, Mark Creath and myself went to Columbus, GA on September 12 2009

Visited The National Infantry Museum and also Port Columbus - yes, actual large boats sailed the Chattahoochee during Civil War times.

We'll come up with something for this fall...maybe Oakland Cemetary again for a Halloween type of history trip. It is a pretty cool place to visit. Also see our message regarding next year's potential "BIG" trip. Give us your thoughts and comments.

What is HISTORY FOR GUYS?

Its a group of guys that get together, the madness of a bunch of guys travelling together to endure great food, great sites and even more - great friendship.

When we are not travelling to far places, we take short trips to various historic sites. One day trips ending with a great meal. If you are interested, come join us.

Comment by Joseph Primm on September 15, 2009 at 5:24pm: Please pass around to those you think might be interested. Next April/2010, we are looking at our big trip being to Washington, DC. We need comments on maybe bringing wives along, how many days and which days of the week would you be willing. We figured leave on Tue, drive up, four nights, come home on Sat. Hotel looks to be $125 +taxes each night. Gas, metro card for 30-min rides into central DC, etc. Need your thoughts. Email me at primm_joe@emc.com. We also thought of the trip being to Vicksburg as well. thoughts on that welcome.

Regards,
Joe Primm / Mark Creath

Comment by Joseph Primm on September 8, 2009 at 11:19am: So here we go, this Saturday we leave from theC3Church parking lot at 7:00am. Its a 2-hour drive down to Columbus. The National Infantry Museum opens at 9:00am, we'll spend some time there then head over (short distance) to Port Columbus. My guess is we'll be done by early afternoon, stop somewhere to eat...just up on the left :>) (for those that remember the inside joke) and then head home. Should be back by 4 or 5pm. See you there and pass the message along to others you think might be interested. -Joe Primm

Comment by Joseph Primm on March 4, 2009 at 4:03pm: Okay - so what is it about history that gets us all excited? Its knowing where we came from that gives us insight into where we can go to.

Comment by Adam Boles on October 15, 2008 at 10:19pm: haha ok... the one he was rescued from by Benedict..

Comment by Mark D. Creath on October 15, 2008 at 7:51pm: Well he had a I think a 3 and 10 record when it came to Battles so take your pick. By the way one of the stops we are going to for next year's history trip is Mt. Vernon!

Comment by Adam Boles on October 10, 2008 at 12:10am: What battle did George Washington screw up?

Comment by Mark D. Creath on July 20, 2008 at 5:53pm: Sorry got sidetracked;
2. I think it was 114 years long!
3. The South Carolinian's when they shot at a ship trying to reinforce Ft. Sumter!

Comment by Mark D. Creath on July 19, 2008 at 4:41pm: 1. False there were 2 and plans for a third

Comment by Jen Smalley on July 12, 2008 at 10:23pm: Hey all, pretty quiet around here lately. How is everyone? I have another quiz for you...
1. True or False. There was only one Japanese air raid on the Hawaiian Islands in WWII.
2. True of False. The 100 years war was 110 years long.
3. Who fired the first shots of the Civil War?
