Love
geology? Love history? Funny how the twain should meet, isn't it? Here at
Spangler’s Spring there are many fine boulder specimens to examine. Watch your
step, though . . . the spring’s run-off makes the ground soggy, and one of my shoes has been stuck somewhere beneath the mud
since 2006. (No, I’m not interested in getting it back anymore. I'm
admittedly fascinated by the thought of my shoe remaining on the Gettysburg
battlefield for all time . . .)
