My Boy Scout troop got a chance to camp out at Antietam Battlefield and tour the historic site this past weekend. It was pretty wild. The area is much smaller than you'd think, condsidering all the troops who fought here.
The Burnside Bridge was one of the key spots of the fight. It was pretty easy for our whole group to cross, but then again we weren't carrying any heavy gear and being shot at.
We fit in nearly a five-mile hike which included awesome views from atop an observation tower, but I'm not sure I needed those extra 100-steps up and down in the middle of the walk. Still, it was a great trip.
