Despite it's beauty, there is a sense of overwhelming saddeness all around us. The loss of life that was suffered in this area is tremendous. |

Kat felt compelled to stop here and was drawn to the area of trees just on the edge of the "wheat field". |

We had trekked uphill to this area and on our way back down to the car several of us had subjective experiences. One of us heard the sound of a horse walking and neying behind them and two others heard a womans voice crying and calling out "help me". |

The Devil's Den. This series of rock formations became a staging are from where the troops hid from the onslaught of the snipers that nearly surrounded them. This lies just on the edge of the "valley of death" at the base of "Little Round Top". |

Near this tree is where one of our members experienced footsteps walking behind them, they would stop, the footsteps would stop, they would turn to face what they thought was one of the other members, but no one was there. This happened several times and quickly caused the member to come back and join the rest of the group. |

The quietness while on the battlefield was eerie, it gave a sense of the heaviness of the events that took place here. |
