Civil War reenacting is alot of fun and very rewarding. I have 4 known ancestors that were in the Civil War and one of the reenacting units I am in is a regiment that one of my ancestors fought with...so it has alot more meaning when I field with them.
The downside of reenacting is the added miles driven to and from events. I've had two extended trips to Pennsylvania this year that was over 2000 miles total and I have another 11 day trip that will easily be over 1500 miles total.
It gives me plenty of time to work on my highway hypermiling technique though!
