Comments and photos from DarkeJournal reader TF: This is Hahn Road (leaving Gettysburg) at around 3:15 this afternoon. The second picture (Hahn Rd2) is Hahn road at Neff Road about 1 mile from 571 just a couple of minutes later. I know we "country folk" don't really matter but this is why we are on a level 1, you can't see these drifts at night untill it's too late.
