I have been to the slave cave, but just now can't remember where the one I saw was located. I don't think that it's near the stone shown in the photograph though.
Cheers

Next time Rick will have to wait till I finish my trivia post reading! Sorry Jim I never returned!

I saw this rock covered with a perfect coat of moss, and had to photograph it, and left the monument to the 13 New Jersey in on the edge so I would remember where the rock was.
Anybody have one to post next?

13th NEW JERSEY?! EGADS! Were we both off! We were on "Upper" Culp's Hill, and this, of course, is in the opposite direction! Good one, Ed!
Think we know where Kim/Becky's photo is, but we're heading out for the day in a few minutes, so will let someone else jump in.

Yes, Steve, I recall that too -- I believe it was Stan Petestreet who mentioned that in one of the postings in the very first "Name that Spot" trivia thread started so very long ago.

You sound surprised! Remember, I spent 9 wonderful weeks taking in that hallowed ground on a daily basis. There was only one day that I didn't make it to the field, and I later kicked myself for not getting out there in the torrential rain.

You have seen it dozens or perhaps even hundreds of time. You once told me to go to this area to get sunrise pics. It's near one of my favs.................not Clio, though.

ECH is the best sunrise location, so maybe this could be down at the bottom of the hill, northeast, like around 33 MA.
I'm reaching here, pure guess.

The connection with Becky's photo isn't location per se, instead it's something about something in her photo and the location of the tree that are related, but it's not the location of her photo that's relative.

And if I've seen this from above then it's probably LRT, so I have to think of looking up instead of down.
But the photo is level ground with stone walls, and I'm just not getting an image of that area that matches the photo.

Can't picture the exact tree.

Should I end the suspense and post a wider angle view? Or should we let Steve (and others) ponder this a while longer?
Steve,
As you can sumrise from the photo, that tree is out there pretty much alone. The photo was taken from a very popular area of the battlefield.
I think it's safe to assume that Emily R. probably visited a spot not far from the camera location.

Think about the clues given so far.
Who is (was) Emily R.?
Steve was very close with one of his guesses.

Just below the 44 NY castle, west of the Vincent wounding marker. What looks like a level field with a stone wall is a flat spot on LRT with defensive walls.
I can see it in some of my 16 MI shots from the top of LRT.
A lone tree.

Here's the wider view. The castle is behind the camera.
Here's the birds eye view from Bing maps:

Suzy was first with the answer on this one.
The tie-in with Becky's photo was the 44th NY castle. Remember, the left-over stones were used at Spangler's Spring
For bonus points.....Who's Emily?

Besides the 44th's Castle, what else of note is found on LRT?

I was assuming that She probably visited LRT to view the bronze likeness of her brother, of course that was just a guess.
Emily Warren Roebling was more than "involved" in the Brooklyn Bridge. When her husband, Washington Roebling, became bedridden after he was stricken with the bends durng the construction of the foundation for one of the towers for the bridge she became his eyes, ears and mouthpiece on the project. She taught herself engineering and for all intents and purposes was the acting chief engineer on the project.
