Antietam Battlefield Staff Ride
« on: December 16, 2008, 12:38:00 PM »
We have talked about doing Antietam for over a year...Maybe this Spring I can brush off my script and we can spend a day or two (?) walking the Battlefield.  Let me define walking -- 5-8 cars (space is an issue) drive to a point of interest, we get out and I rattle on for way too long and y'all walk around looking at stuff pretending to be paying attention.  :usa:

If it's warm enough to wear shorts and have the top down and my schedule permits, I'm in.  I'd love to see and hear you talk aimlessly and no one paying attention.

We love history and could be fun.  Now I don't know where Antietam Battlefield is but I'm sure someone could tell me or I'll just have to ask my other half....

Can't remember if I said I'd like to do this or not. Let me know when you pick a date. We like warmth.
