Skagit Island as seen from Snee-Oosh beach
- Sid is seen wearing a Davy Crockett outfit, Harold in an outfit similar to Rambo, and Stinky a Confederate uniform.
- Grandpa and Rex Smythe-Higgins also square-off in the episode "Tour de Pond".
- If you ever find yourself in La Conner, go to Snee-Oosh beach and you might be able to see the island where it took place.
- When Arnold first confronts Rex Smythe-Higgins III at the fort, Rex taunts Arnold and gets his fellow British reenactors to throw things at him. This parodies the situation faced by King Arthur (Graham Chapman) in the film Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
- Grandpa wanted to eat Abner in the episode "The Journal".
- The events in this episode are based on real life events that took place on San Juan Island in Washington State, also known as The Pig War, in which the only casualty was indeed a pig, the shooting of which started the whole thing.
- Rex Smythe-Higgins I actually uses the British profanity "bloody" when he instructs one kid to "Chop down the bloody tree, you idiot!"
- Rex Smythe-Higgins I is voiced by Tony Jay, who also voiced Judge Claude Frollo in the Disney film The Hunchback Of Notre Dame.
- When approaching Elk Island, Grandpa and the kids' parody Emanuel Gottlieb Leutze's famous painting Washington Crossing the Delaware.
- The fort on Elk Island appears to be based off of Fort Vancouver (despite Fort Vancouver being nowhere near Skagit Island).
- Second episode after "Big Caesar" in which the dialogue continues over the end credits.
- This is the last episode to be directed by Dan Povenmire.
