I often get sentimental over some things, especially Gettysburg. I have been told from Motorcyclist, mostly Harley riders, of the feeling, the overpowering feeling they have of the wind blowing in their faces as they travel down the road, and of the power of the "animal" they ride. Though I do not own a Harley, or a motorcycle at all, nor have I ever ridden or driven a Harley.................I do know the feeling they do experience, but in a different way.
For see..................
I've been to the top of Big Round top
I have walked Pickett's Charge
I have stood silent and still on Lost Avenue
I have walked the field where my ancestor died on July 1st in the assault on Seminary Ridge
I have visited the house where Meade held his council of war
I have stood on the ground that Lee walked
I have viewed the valley that Warren seen from Little Round Top
I have stood where Armistead fell
I have walked the ground of Cemetery Hill where brave, frantic men fought hand to hand
I have looked out from the Cupola, and seen the view from Buford's advantage
I have been to the railroad cut where Wisconsin met Mississippi
I have stood on the same ground where 100's and 100's of brave, gallant men laid buried, forever at peace
I have stood in silence, and viewed Iverson's Pits
I have seen sleepy lil Gettysburg from Oak Hill
I have visited the site of hell on earth, the Devil's Den
I have walked the ground where the Iron Brigade and the 26th North Carolina destroyed one another
So yes I do know the feeling the motorcyclist speak off, just in different terms.
Respectfully
