Good but problem with directions

John_M, July 2023

In following the GPS directions it placed me on a one- way road going the WRONG way which was very dangerous that caused to find a place for me to make a quick U-turn! Not good!

3 hours of History

Matthew_B, Dec 2022

Was amazed at the vast open areas where the battles took place. Hard to imagine those same spaces filled with the thousands of brothers fighting with one another. Very sad.
