You're thinking of the one on the Lakeshore Road, no? I don't recall any range at Fort George itself during my time.

[peter simundson]

That's the one. There was also an underground .22 range across the
road from Fort George on Army (DND) property.

It was dug out about 35 years ago.

On the Fort George site there was no range although there
was some range work there in 1812.

Ah, maybe it's the former underground range to which the article is referring.

Anyhow....how the hell are you, Peter? Haven't seen you in a donkey's age...

Wow Peter, how do you remember back that far?

Rob Everybody knows I'm a dinosaur! I just proved it.

Bob I'm lousy actually. Last year my truck, with nobody driving
smashed me into my carrier and moved the carrier 7 inches.
I thought...hmmm....Lots of blood and large gashes but it
will go away. Oh sure....

Came back in exactly one year. Classic case of Sciatica and I can't walk.
Oh my right leg can. But.... My Doctor laughs and says it will
last minimum 6 months.

Good gravy, man....you're falling apart!!!! So, you're telling me not to expect your carrier at my show in May?

The Niagara-on-the-Lake museum might have competition. At work today I was asked if I knew of any land survey firm willing to donate their services for a new military museum. At first I thought it had to be this one but no, it's one they are planning adjacent to the Canada Warplane Heritage museum in Hamilton (the one the Minarski Lancaster flies out of). If true there will be two new military museums within 50 miles of each other.

The project at the Mount Hope location will be much more than a basic Regimental based artifact display. Extensive vehicle restoration shops for example. Think of the UK experience for vision.

Don't forget there is also the
"Niagara Military Museum, Niagara's Tri-Service Museum"

It is housed in the former DND Niagara Falls Armoury which is now owned by the city of Niagara Falls.
