Gettysburg Turtle

Took a weekend trip to Gettysburg and what do I see on Little Round Top - looks like a turtle to me. 

 

Another tree in a pile

Rockpile with tree

Since it's too hot and I don't go off trail in the summer. I was going thru some pictures from a couple of months ago. This is a nice size rockpile with an even larger set of trees growing out of the top.

A Couple of Mounds

 

Exploring an area along the top edge of the Conemaugh Gap. This possible structure caught my eye. It's made up of three large stones - and a dip in the ground - which is where I think they got the dirt of the oval type mound.

It's made up of dirt and rock. Then found this a couple of hundred feet away.

Nice size mound of dirt and rock overlooking the gap. Directly underneath it - could be a possible rock shelter.

This is steeper than it looks - which is why this picture isn't the greatest.

Took the Ruck up the mountain for a quick spin - in a spot I have never been before. Parked - looking for signs of rockpiles and found....

This nice size rockpile - just off in the woods. This area looks down into the Conemaugh Gap - and I have found other rockpiles in another section. This is sort of untouched territory for me - since in the past it has taken me - far too long to walk into the area - that's why I bought the Ruckus.

New Exploring Partner

 

Just got my new 2012 Honda Ruckus. There are spots up the mountain that take an hour to walk into - thought this might come in handy when I don't feel like walking the whole way in.

Point Found Near Rockpile

 

I found this point last month on a trip up the mountain. I actually kicked it up with my boot. I don't really spend much time looking for points - since it's so darn hard on the eyes. What I thought was interesting was - that I found it a couple of hundred feet away from this:
