Shiloh National Military Park

Shiloh National Military Park is the scene of a major battle during the Civil War during which 23,746 Union and Confederate soldiers were reported dead or missing.  From the National Park Service Web Site, "No soldier who took part in the two day’s engagement at Shiloh ever spoiled for a fight again,” recalled one Union veteran. “We wanted a square, stand-up fight [and] got all we wanted of it.”

I rode to Shiloh on October 8, 2006 with my friend and riding buddy AGirl.  It was a gorgeous early fall day and we could not have asked for better weather.  To make it an epic day, AGirl got the last National Park Passport stamp that she needed to have all of them in Tennessee (not bad for a lady who lives in Arizona!) and also turned over 50,000 (that's fifty thousand!) miles on her DL1000 since last November.
