#278 Soothing

The short drive (we ran out of time) through a portion of
Grand Teton National Park was very soothing. Jenny Lake
was calm and extraordinarily beautiful! We felt like
the only tourists in the Park!

#64 Crooked

Actually, more zig-zag than crooked these fences provided an effective barrier to soldier movement. Tearing them down was time-consuming and climbing over was a sure way to get shot. For some reason this kind of fence appeals to me - but not for its military advantage.When you go to visit the Gettysburg battlefield, the $55 price for a personal tour guide (in your own car) is worth it. Our guide drove and talked (lectured?) for two hours straight giving details of the three day battle as well as stories of generals, churches, regiments, statues, and geography. I don't remember much but am glad for the experience.
