GDG- Lurkers-What do you find most confusing about the Battle?

[JIM COOKE]

"Tick, tick, tick" indeed, Alan. They're out in full force! I walked some of the new fence lines put in near the Bliss farm site by Foundation volunteers, and brought home a few guests. Thank you to those people who spent their Saturday in the broiling sun restoring the fence lines.

Hi Charlie,

That's a pretty good list! :-) Last summer my son & I did the tours from 
Adelman & Smith's Devil's Den, plus Jorgensen's Wheatfield and they were 
both grand.

Thanks for the list,
Alan
PS. Heading down there on 6/26 - tick, tick, tick - not coming fast 
enough, and the 5 days there will fly by like a whirl, I'm sure...
