AT LAAAASST!
They FINALLY finished - and they did a terrific job, too. You'll love the upgrade.
Come up and see for yourself soon! Beginning of July's gonna be something else: the total rehab of Little Round Top AND the 161st anniversary!
To reiterate, this video approximately encompasses the northern half of the hilltop; videos taken on the lower, or southern end are posting soon.
Do look out for the stone breaks on the dirt paths! i believe they serve to mitigate water and keep trails intact. (Examples: 3:00, 8:00 markers)
Fun fact: after being recruited by Gouvenor K. Warren, Strong Vincent & Co. arrived just FIFTEEN MINUTES before Hood's troopers began their attack!! Talk about a tight race to the top!
LEARN about just what the land rehabilitation entailed (includes multiple photo galleries, incl. a neat one with before/after pics):
