Gettysburg
Submitted By: glenn clark
My son is Iraq now but 1 of the last things we did as a family before he left was to go to Gettysburg for the 145th anniversary we get to gettysburg fairly often in fact when he gets home he wants to go back, on the last day there we took 1 last stop to Little Roundtop by the Warren statue it was a little foggy but got a great picture wish I could have posted it.

Drake Well Museum
Submitted By: Sue
The first time I came to Drake Well Museum a buck crossed the road in front of me and an eagle flew overhead in the sunny sky. Oil Creek and the site were beautiful! Historic oil field machinery sang and people were friendly.
