When I was booking my hotel for the last leg of my seven-day adventure through the southern United States, I intended on getting a hotel in Morristown, WV; for some reason, Hotels.com ended up showing my hotels in Chambersburg, PA, I thought the two towns were closer together. Well, they weren’t. But it turned out that Chambersburg is relatively close to Gettysburg. Yes, that Gettysburg, the site of a vicious battle during the American Civil War in 1863. So I decided that I would visit it. I had never been before, so I asked my friend Ryan, who had participated in the 150th-anniversary reenactment of the battle last year, if you could take one photo of the Gettysburg Battlefield, what would it be. His answer was the Devil’s Den, this boulder-covered hill was home to artillery and sharpshooters during the battle. I’m not too happy with my exposure; I probably should’ve used a yellow filter instead of a red one.
