It was a partly cloudy day. I headed east on rte 30 with my mother to Ligonier. I saw a few bridges that I will have to come out later to get.
We went to Fort Ligonier. We paid money, and cheaply xeroxed flyer, reading "self-guided tour", but it turned out to be merely a crude map of the grounds folded over, nothing remotely resembling a "tour".
I got a number of pictures. I thought it could have been presented better.
We went to The Compass Inn. It is a restored inn, originally built in 1799. They had a stagecoach stop. It was nice, but they don't let you take pictures inside the building. I got some pictures.
Then we went to the Keltz Cemetery, where one of my Great-great-great-great-great-great Grandfathers is the featured guy. George Keltz was a Revolutionary War soldier, some say his son, George Adam Keltz was also in the Revolutionary War. One interesting feature is a semi-blank grave marker that says "American Soldier". I'm guessing that it eroded and people couldn't remember who it was, but they remembered putting flowers and flags on holidays and remembered that he was a soldier. I guess. I do have nice pictures of that.
Here's a shot of the "American Soldier" marker:

I sometimes surprised the times and places where I'm allowed to take pictures. The British public buildings tended to allow photographers to wander around taking pictures, and the Soviet Embassy (back in the 1980s) didn't seem to mind my wandering around taking pictures. On the other hand, I've now heard that the people in charge of the Mall in Washington DC are now restricting photographing to those that pay a fee. Paying money to take pictures outdoors.
That's messed up. I've heard of people being stopped from taking pictures of post-offices.
