Muscleman! This rock probably weighed a good 8 or 9 pounds. |

These eight photos were taken at Gettysburg National Military Park (Gettysburg Battlefield). |
Taken from atop Devil's Den, supposedly the most haunted spot in the entire 6000 acre Gettysburg Battlefield. |
Overlooking Little Round Top (the distant hill), and The Slaughter Pen (just off-frame to the right). |
Little Round Top and Devil's Den were the site of The Battle of Gettysburg's fiercest battle, on day 2, July 2nd 1863. |
Even here among nearly 150 years of death and sadness, Connor managed to find a place to dig happily! |
