Shiloh National Military Park - Feb 2017
Feb 2017 - About 120 miles east of Memphis, just a few miles south of Pittsburg landing, TN, is the Shiloh National Military Park. I had visited here a couple times before, just stopping quickly to visit a few of the close in sites of this expansive park. While coming back from the Asheville, NC area in Feb, Cheryl and I made another stop, her first, and spent several hours driving through the whole park. It was winter, of course, but actually rather warm for the season, however many of the trees had lost their leaves. It had a stark, quiet, isolated look and feel to it and that seemed to emphasize even more the tragedy and loss of life that this place documented.
