Hello to each of the Northwest Instructors!!! I hope you all are doing well. I'm looking forward to catching up with you in a couple of weeks.

When TruT saw this picture, she asked that it be posted here.

I never thought it would be possible that I would stand here or see this in person... Thank you Ratchett!!!

The Log

You westerners live in a land of unimaginable vastness compared to the cramped confines we Northeasterners find ourselves in for the most part. I hope I can get out there someday and see it for myself. For now, I'll have to content myself with living just a stone's throw from Battle Road. And Fenway Park, of course  &)

I'm glad you got a chance to visit Battle Road while you were out this way - at least I assume you did. I know it must seem kinda crazy out here, but I find Battle Road very peaceful, especially the section around Josiah Nelson's house, Parker's Revenge, and the Revere capture site.

Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'Press On' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.
Calvin Coolidge

I am humbled just by the thought. Great photo, thanks.   :)      ~Two Wolves
A moral compass provides a basis for making decisions; an action is good or bad, right or wrong when viewed in the light of the individual's moral bearing. If no moral compass exists for the individual, then decisions and actions are made on the basis of purely subjective thoughts. This leads to "If it makes me happy, or makes me feel good, or if it's something I simply want to do, then it is right and good."

Wonderful photography, girls.  O0

I can explain it to you but, I cannot understand it for you.

I'll keep my faith, my family, my church, my liberty, my property, my money...oh, and my guns. You can keep the CHAINS. (Triskele)

Awesome, I'm so jealous. Hope I can make it there sooner or later.
The doorway to freedom is framed by the muskets that stood between a vision of of liberty and absolute anarchy at a place called Concord Bridge--Charlton Heston, 1997

"Be a man of principle. Fight for what you believe in. Keep your word. Live with integrity. Be brave. Believe in something bigger than yourself. Serve your country. Teach. Mentor. Give something back to society. Lead from the front. Conquer your fears. Be a good friend. Be humble and be self-confident. Appreciate your friends and family. Be a leader and not a follower. Be valorous on the field of battle. And take responsibility for your actions. Never forget those that were killed. And never let rest those that killed them." -- Major Douglas Zembiec

Ratchett

Absolutely THANK YOU to Crak for making arrangements to meet us on Lexington Green, then take us all about Battle Road and Concord, then on to Butterick's Farm and the North Bridge! Finally, the retreat down Battle Road!

Boy, is my history telling going to have some major changes! Seriously Crak, you need to put your knowledge in writing for folks to learn the facts. I wish I had had a voice recorder!

Thanks again and to Mrs Crak for sharing you for the evening!
