AM: 9 miles in the Dimple Dell gully.
On this day in 1863, the First Minnesota saved the Union at Gettysburg by whupping up on a bunch of secessionists from Alabama. The Minnesota regiment lost over 80% of its' men depriving several small towns in southeast Minnesota of young men for the next generation.
Also, Ann and I got married on this day in Pine River, Minnesota in 1994. We'll be celebrating tonight by watching Andy play baseball in Roy.
