I’m just one of a dozen or so guides.
2. Its not the county (Loudoun) that owns Ball’s Bluff, but the Northern Virginia Regional Park Authority which consists of several counties and towns in the NoVa area. Ball’s Bluff is one of 20 or so parks in the NVRPA system, all recreational facilities except Ball’s Bluff.
Over the past few years, but especially the last two, the NVRPA folks and volunteers have done a lot of cleanup (cutting back underbrush, clearing deadfall, downing a lot of small trees) in order to make the battlefield look more like it did in 1861. Those who haven’t been there in a while will be pleasantly surprised at how much better it looks and how much easier the terrain is to understand.
Randy … when are you bringing a group to the area?

]]>Good to read and will just add for those who have not visited the Ball’s Bluff site, it is well worth the stop there.
