You're killing me, Mannie ... how dare they desecrate the BLOG gun!!!!
LOL, and it's obvious to me. Bike Rack is in the parking lot and yet the Cannon is right by the front door. IIRC, from my visits to the VC there, the walk from the bike rack is uphill. LOL :)
It's just as good as the last time I visited the park, there was a family at the top of the Sunken Road Tower with their picnic spread out, and they spread themselves all over the floor to enjoy it. "Gee, no one else needs this silly observation tower right? Pass me the mustard."
Mannie, those are the new lightweight two wheeled limber chests. They were all the rage in 1861. Unfortunately they discover that the guns tended to roll over them and crush them. Come on, give it a push! You know you want to.
