Impressive display of muzzle loaders

This canon was fired later in the day.

Furs, a saddle, and 1880's gear at a typical tent

Without the hat

The ladies sit around the fire.

The canon can barely be seen in the smoke immediately after firing it.
(I have no picture of the firing because my fingers were in my ears -- very loud!)

Seconds later a pleasant breeze had blown the smoke away.

You can see the last of the smoke heading toward the river canyon after a few more seconds.
