Gettysburg is a historical resource park and not a park in the Park Service System like Yellowstone or the Great Smokies.Since,one of my Ancestors fought in the Wheatfield with the 148th Pennsylvania ,I can now see the Rose Farm and the Stony Hill in a different light. I was also happy to see the park doing something about the over population of the White Tailed Deer. They were causing a lot of problems. Agian,the park preserves the historical resources not natural ones!

I was amazed when I reached the top of LRT and looked out over the Devils Den and Wheatfield areas. You could appreciate what happened there in 1863 much better than before and I applaud GNMP for undertaking it.

Eric, I wish you had been successful in enlightening Latscher in marking the Farnsworth area better. My neice and I spent a good part of one afternoon stomping around that area trying to envision the action that took place there but found it difficult to imagine what took place.

With the rehab project and the remaining trees free of leaves, we could really see and we learned more about the battle than on all of our other visits combined.

We ran into a local guy there who complained about the tree cutting. It seems that folks like to walk their dogs and jog along in the shade.

My thought is that this is a national military park, not a city park nor a jogging trail. I applaud the park service for doing it right.

FYI, Cowpens, a Revolutionary War military park has been restored much like its appearance during the Rev War and it looks SUPER.

Shiloh battlefield, in my opinion, is the site in most need of tree line adjustments. There are some sectors that just don’t make sense today because of either the presence of or lack of heavy woods. Again, if the History Channel is really into this thing, have the Axmen run a season at a battlefield. I do like the one-handed guy’s “get down to business” attitude. He’d probably get Rhea Field in shape within a week.

For the first time ever, visitors to the park can view the Deep Cut as it appeared when Porter’s 10,000 troops charged Jackson’s line on the afternoon of August 30, 1862. It looks amazing!! I was in awe when I first saw it a few weeks ago.

At least the NPS clears off the junk cars and the Lawnmower Man’s trailer when they bushwhack historic property.

I say take ’em all down. Create historic vistas. It’s a military park. not a picnic area…. and if you want to hug a tree then bring a pillow for your cell.

Why don’t these people understand the orchard trade-off? That Save A Tree baloney pisses me off unless it’s the Sherwood Forest..

You’re welcome. At least now you understand the animosity.

It still pisses me off to this day, even though it’s been ten years.

Wrecking balls, perhaps? 🙂

I’ve never been to Wilson’s Creek. It’s one of those places on my list of “some day” sites.
