Title: Panoramic photo of Parker's Revenge
Post by: Oz on November 22, 2020, 12:18:25 PM
A 360 degree panoramic view of Parker's Revenge, from the point of view of the light infantry.  I'm not sure if there is a way to get to this except through the Facebook post.

The "Rocky Outcrop" is the formidable-looking location considered for many years to be the site.  Captain Parker chose a location that does not attract the eye so much.

Archeology plus: "Key Terrain, Observation and Fields of Fire, Cover and Concealment, Obstacles, Avenues of Approach" (KOCOA) were used to identify the site.

There is a 320 page archeology report on the sight but I cannot download it. Anybody else have any luck?
