The three harbingers of Spring at Antietam:
1. The blooming of the crocuses,
2. Pilgrimages by costumed reenactors,
3. Trying to start the park stationwagon after a long winter.
Welcome Spring!
Just north of Sharpsburg,
Ranger Mannie

haha Mannie, I have to do that all the time with my ancient Oldsmobile.
Crocuses are good. We still have snow here. I'm thinking spring isn't coming this year.
"Costumed" reenactors is right! Those guys are wayyyyy to bright and clean to be REAL reenactors! They'd be a marvel to any real civil war soldier by September 1862.
