GDG- Re: Off the beaten path

Jack,

Which "The Narrows" is this? Is it the railroad passage in Cumberland MD?

Also, can you locaste "The Indian field" for me?

Thanks. It's going to be too nice a day in the 'Burg to not get out and put
the top down. (I hope I have enough gas in my cutting torch, since my car is
a station wagon!)

Go to the heights above The Narrows. You can, on a clear day, eyeball Lee's 
track   from the Shenandoah up the Cumberland Valley. It gives you a great 
grasp of the protection Lee gained in the valley and why he dared not
venture from it's protective shoulders unto the littoral.

Decent place to eat at The Narrows

Yellow Hill-Great view of the 'Burg-a lot better than the National Tower
ever offered, if you have the binoculars-a spotting scope is even better.

Quaker Valley.

The North end of Houck's ridge- a really different perspective "up the
Emittsburg Road".

Sach's Covered Bridge-especially cool experience on a hot day.

While your at that way, keep driving up into the pass at Jack's Mountain. 
Turn around and come back. If there was any doubt that Sickles' movement on
day 2 was just stupid, this stunning view of LRT looming like a great
brooding shadow over all the ground Sickles occupied will dispel that doubt.

Devils Kitchen.

The Indian Field.

Veteran's Memorial Trail on BRT.

Stuart's position on Oak Hill-it a really wistful view of what might have
been from the Southern point of view.

The man-made (maybe) cave on Culp's Hill.   Make sure you stay off of 
private property.

Regards,

Jack
