Dave led 10 hikers on a 5 mile Ramble Trail starting at the Chickamauga Military Park Visitor Center. The hike started across the road and you're supposed to go under the overpass but the creek was deeper than we were willing to wade. We had a pleasant walk in the woods, with plenty of historical markers to remind us that right here, 160 years ago, many soldiers died fighting a war that determined the future of our one nation. After the hike, some of us toured the Visitor Center and watched a 26 minute film of the Battles of Chickamauga and Chattanooga. The NP Service has made a very realistic short film, that makes the battles feel more personal to the viewers. I highly recommend seeing it if you visit the Park.
Lunch was yummy at the Park Place Restaurant for those of us who stayed. Tuesday's special was meatloaf.
