Anybody else coming for the 162nd Anniversary? I'll be there all three days, and will definitely check out some of those Foundation talks as well!

I have been going to the anniversary days for the last several years. The weather often determines how much time I spend there. Last year was the best weather I can remember.

I'm off of work on the 1st and 2nd so it will be weather dependent.

We are there with the Society from 7/30 - 8/2.
Practicals in the heat and trying a new air conditioning system for the tent and so experiments all the way round. Hope to see y'all there.

Hitting all three July 1st walks today.

Unfortunately, I've been rather under the weather the last few days so I'll have to skip this year's battlewalks. At least I'll be able to watch them on PCN later tonight.

Photo from today's morning walk about MG John C. Robinson's Union division, led by Ranger John Hoptak. Saw @mpellegr64 on the walk!

Still working on downloading the ones from today, but here's one below. Chris Gwinn's presentation was cut short by rain, and we had to hike a mile back to our cars in pouring rain. We reenacted Lee's retreat, in a sense.

If you see me tomorrow, I'll be wearing a black Pink Floyd shirt.

May try to do a trip Friday. Weather dependent. Humidity and heat do not agree with this old body anymore.

Morning talk: Redemption of the Harper's Ferry Cowards by Ranger Emeritus John Heisen — not as hot as yesterday but double the amount of walking!

 

[Cavalier]

@Stryker65 I really wish I could have attended this presentation on the Harper's Ferry Cowards but my wife has some health issues.

My grandmother's uncle, a member of the 111th. New York, was "severely" wounded on the evening of July 2nd.

Thanks very much for the photos!!!!!!
