As I mention on the Gettysburg 2009 photo album, the park officials have been
working on restoring the battlefield to what it was during the battle. If
you look at the first photo below, you will notice the overhead power lines.
In the 2009 photos of the same location, they are no longer visible as they have
been moved under ground. This has been an on going project for the last
several years. In the last picture, you will notice the bare light colored
ground just beyond the tree. This is the Peach Orchard. The trees
had become infected and when we were here this time, they were treating the
soil. If you look at the 2009 photos, you will notice they trees have been
replanted.
