Emberglow

We came up to Pennsylvania today mostly to hear Emberglow play at Thirsty Farmer Brew Works on Cashtown Road (across from the round barn). It had been threatening rain all day so they set up under cover, but it was on a porch on the back of the building, so was still outdoors. It had been hot but it cooled down a bit in the evening and there was something of a breeze, which made it nice. Our friend Lydia also joined us, which was nice. She had been in the area visiting friends, so came to hear Jeff and the band, as well.

Dog on Gettysburg Monument

Dog on Gettysburg Monument

On Oak Ridge on the northern part of the Gettysburg Battlefield, there is a monument to the 11th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry Regiment. On the monument there is a soldier facing west, away from the road. On the west side, lower down, there is a dog. The dog is Sallie Ann Jarrett, the regiment’s mascot, who apparently traveled with the regiment throughout much of the Civil War. She was killed on February 1865 at the Battle of Spotsylvania Court House.

North of this monument is the Eternal Light Peace Memorial, built in 1938 and dedicated on the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg. Near the 11th Pennsylvania Volunteer monument is a viewing tower, that offers a nice view of the northern portion of the battlefield. This area is not as crowded as the Little Round Top or other parts of the park.
