Pickett's Charge .....

The last two distant hills on the right is Little Round Top & Round Top

 

[Outdoorsfellar]

This was the objective of Pickett's Charge .... the Copse of Trees.....to punch thru the Union Line, but reinforcements put an end to that nonsense . The lone tree & some in the clump of trees were actually there to witness the battle ......

The Pennsylvania monument...... I discovered the names of two distant relatives listed with their regiment. I was looking for another, but he was not listed, because he was out of commission during the summer of '63. One of the two listed, actually died during the battle & is somewhere here in an unmarked grave. These monuments are so majestic....something that will never be built in this days & age.

I'm actually up on top....Little Round Top & Round Top are in the background.....

I met a guy while taking pics at the copse of trees. He's a civil war re enactor & also shoots cannons. He was very interesting & is part of a group that patrols the park at night. I had to ask if he had ever experienced anything .....abnormal. He's never seen a ghost, but there's times when the hair on his neck would raise.... as if he was being watched.... at 3am on their patrol, stuff like that.....

Right now, I'm the only person here at Devil's Den .....

You mean to tell me “man” didn’t erode the softer layers and it was wind and water or natural occurrences!?!?!?!?! Huh……

If you enjoy civil war battlefields and monuments you should really make the trip to Vicksburg to the National Military Park. There are monuments throughout indicating positions for the various state units that were there. It'll take a good day just to drive through it.

From small markers for individual units all the way to huge ones for states

Heading to a central Florida flea market, anybody need a Trump hat, ninja throwing stars, Star Wars cassette tapes, Dale Earnhart memorabilia, coon dog with worms or a automatic weapon?

We did a last minute trip last weekend. Just the wife and I were able to sneak away and go see Jon and T. Much needed reset.

Next summer I will be finishing glacier water again. We decided that as well.

We rode the rail bikes that just opened in Clay, WV this June. Pretty cool way to see the mountains.

Painted rocks, a beautiful area for sure

Did you have any of the fish sausage?

 

[GoetsTalon]

No fish sausage but did have a white fish dinner. St. lgnace was our base and did a day trip to Munising. Put over a thousand miles on my truck which ran great. Was hoping I didn't jinx myself in the Chevy thread lol.
