Thank you for the walk through. I’ll look forward to visiting once the project is complete. I’m pleased that you are using the “social trails” and making them safer.
Thank you for giving the public an update. Please don't let the complainers get you down.. I'm coming down to enjoy LRT as soon as it reopens. In the meantime, there are plenty of other interesting areas to explore on the battlefield!
Thanks so much for the update! Very informative and I’m looking forward to it. I can tell a lot of thought and planning went into it, hope you figure out the pacing material “yet to be determined “ 😂 And don’t mind the complainers and whiners, great job!
I'm a little apprehensive about shrinking the width of Sykes Avenue, there will be ripple effects to traffic and the workaround solutions that people will come up with. I thin k congestion might be even worse than before (although the additional bus parking will be a huge improvement in alleviating that congestion).
The very limited parking at the summit will create many problems. With no parking on the road (Sykes Avenue) very few people will be able to park and see the summit. Maybe that’s their intent. People will have to circle down Wheatfield road, left on Crawford avenue and left at Devil’s Den to try to find a parking place. The circle of cars on that route will create more congestion and pollution. People will have to park elsewhere and walk up to LRT.
I’ve always felt the supreme punishment for portrait/vertical camera folks is they should be forced to watch all of their favorite movies vertically. Imagine watching Lawrence of Arabia that way!
There is a philosophical point of view called the greatest good for the greatest number.10 cars might carry Three people each and so that's 30 people on the round top, but that same spot of 10 cars might be occupied by three buses with 20 people each. So that's 60 people on the round tops so I would prefer that the large number of people using mass transit would benefit rather than the smaller number of people@@evanf2964
I don't think it was intentional, but that shadow you were casting at the beginning of this video was very impressive. I'm sorry I missed the live. Nevertheless, I appreciate your making the video!
24:18 He says there is going to be a new pull-off for buses on either side of Sykes avenue. That's great guys but really we don't want to have buses tipping over like they do in those third world countries where you get to see that footage of a double decker bus on a dirt pothole road sliding off a muddy slope into the jungle please guys
It's a real shame that this didn't happen in 2021 insesd of 2022 especially 18 months. Since 2023 marks the 160th anniversary with thousands of visitors that would have like to see a key moment of day 2
People won't wait for a long line of people on a new trail...they'll just make a new social trail...one does it and more will follow...always been that way..sad
So little round top is closed off for the season now????! I was going to Rountop on the 24th so now what? Well I'm not coming now with this eyesore going on!
Why was the Devil’s Den area done in black top? Had to stop watching. The pictures of what’s happened to the earth in places makes me very sad. I’m speaking of the construction, not the erosion. And listening to how you’re basically a surgeon that is going to kill the patient to save the patient. While spent mini balls, and buckles may seem ho hum to the narrator, this means you’re actively disturbing the battlefield. Those battlefields that have used the rainbow turf will soon find out about PFAS and how that is going to poison the water table. Micro plastics… just unbelievable. I am glad I’ve been there, before all this was/is done. It troubles me to no end about how government bureaucrats are deciding how best to change the battlefield because they think this will solve the traffic flow. Once it’s all done it’s done. Good luck on weekends. I wish you the best of luck but seeing all that bare ground in the video, you know flattened bare ground that doesn’t resemble what was there is just sad. Again glad I was there in the 90s. Just feel bad for my kids and everyone else coming after you’ve drastically changed the topography and look of Little Round Top.
You are destroying more of the battlefield than the 900,000 visitors. It was bad enough that they took out all the bolder and rocks to make the trolleys rails and roads. We are losing how hard it was to fight in this area. I get taking out all the trees and brush that was not there during the battle.
@@zachv1942 thank you for your reply. Asphalt dose not last very long I do agree. Dirt disappears even faster. The grass and boulder hold and preserver the ground. I am of the few that like to see and feel what the soldiers' experienced minus the being shot at part. For when I first came to the battlefield there were no asphalt trails. then a few more visits later there were. It was highly disappointing. The Devils Den and Little Round Top part of the battlefield is the harish terrain to fight in. Pass generation before we were even born destroyed this aera the most. They took out the boulders and rocks and crushed them to make the trollies path and roads. Taking these natural hiding spots/protection of the soldier did take away from there hardships in this battle. The making of the road around Devils Den destroyed the terrain as well. The making of the path for Joshua Chamber took away from how steep that little hill was for the rebels to get to the norths position. I agree with a little of this preseration however. Just not most of it. It is too late to stop this anyway.
@paulhoffman8592 Yes, but the public shouldn't be climbing around the place like they own it. There should be prescribed paths that are clearly marked and obvious. A good rainstorm for a few days could easily do more damage to the entire battlespace than humans walking for 30 years could do. Also, this provides for tours and more stable ground to do presentations. Also, it prevents injuries from occurring and transfers liability. Also, it's ADA complient. Veterans Groups will love this. I'm a purist at heart and would love to see the entire place preserved and to be able to walk in the exact paths. But we don't live in this world. Also, with the artillery being on a level surface, it's better for the wear and tear of time. The NPS in their contract agreement says any work accomplished must be done by hand and no power equipment allowed.
@@zachv1942 We the public due own this park. We the public pay good money for this park. And if we didn't then stop take are tax dollars. The communist would be proud of this taking of our freedom. The soldiers who fought and died for are freedom on this ground then did die in vain. There have been good rainstorms every year and many of them since July 4, 1863. which that one was so heavy that it washed wounded soldiers' way down the creeks near the field hospitals. I agree in those areas that are being eroded to do the restoration need. Yes, the liability lawyers are part of us losing our freedoms. That is a problem. This is nothing more than corporate Marxism. Free people should not have the right to sue for their action in a national park. We also should not be restricted to paths and roads like cows and sheep being led to the slaughter.
Thank you for the walk through. I’ll look forward to visiting once the project is complete. I’m pleased that you are using the “social trails” and making them safer.
To yall that are complaining the project is literally stabilizing the round tops.

Awesome job when will the project plan to be done? Definitely want to visit soon as I can. Keep up the good work God bless.

And don’t mind the complainers and whiners, great job!
Its wild to see it in this fashion
I can't thank enough those who are responsible for this work.
I'm a little apprehensive about shrinking the width of Sykes Avenue, there will be ripple effects to traffic and the workaround solutions that people will come up with. I thin k congestion might be even worse than before (although the additional bus parking will be a huge improvement in alleviating that congestion).
When do you folks think this will reopen? Thanks for your great efforts.
No more parking for cars ???
The very limited parking at the summit will create many problems. With no parking on the road (Sykes Avenue) very few people will be able to park and see the summit. Maybe that’s their intent. People will have to circle down Wheatfield road, left on Crawford avenue and left at Devil’s Den to try to find a parking place.

You understand that is the plan right?
Thanks...
But please..PLEASE....Record Horizontal
Instead of Vertical
Fully concur. Recording from a phone's horizontal view provides a much better perspective for those viewing uploads.
I’ve always felt the supreme punishment for portrait/vertical camera folks is they should be forced to watch all of their favorite movies vertically. Imagine watching Lawrence of Arabia that way!
Parking for seven buses? No additional parking for cars that's a disappointment
Its too much of a group destination its only logical sadly:/

Love the rebuilt stone breastworks.

do you understand preservation and stabilization Frank?
You turned it into a parking lot, what’s the point of being able to get there if it’s just concrete you’re looking at?

Absolutely not. They are stabilizing the ground and trails.

P.S. By making these roads and paths is how these lawyers are being able to make liability clams.
More ruining of the battlefield...
Look, we get it: you’re an idiot. But seriously, you don’t have to go around all over and remind everyone of it.
How typical and disappointing that our National Park Service is are going to change Little Round Top into a sterile, Disneyesque charade.
Too much glare
