This outing looked good on the website, but sadly, was a little disappointing in person. It claimed "25 different field monuments" to view, but we could only see three. The rest could have been grown over with plants? It turned into a pleasant walk on a beautiful day and some small talk with a local man. What more do you need?

| We missed this re-enactment by a day. :( |

| We saw this on the walk. Not historical, but maybe an old house. |
 |
| To the left, are some rocks. The kids went down to see if it was a ruin. It was a pile of rocks. |
 |
| This monument is supposed to be in the next picture. |
 |
| Do you see a monument? Neither did we! |
 |
| Enjoying the walk. |
