By the rude bridge that arched the flood, their flag to April's breeze unfurled. Here once embattled farmers stood, that fired the shot heard 'round the world.
From "Concord Hymn", by Ralph Waldo Emerson.
Except the shot heard round the world happened on the battle green at Lexington, MA, not Concord, where the 2nd large engagement happened.
Good job, AB... If you got it from the clue you weren't paying attention, though.

I told her Emerson was Walden Pond/Concord Mass. I found nothing on google searching/wiki searching that explained your Emerson was wrong. That was far too obscure, my man.
AB won tho cuz she has Google Earth at work and I do not, Google Maps Satellite View wouldn't let me zoom in enough to confirm Concord.

To quote Kramer when trying some salsa in an episode of Seinfeld: "Mmmm, Machu Picchu!"
I'd like to see that some day.

A bit closer to home, but another place I always wanted to visit. That is, until my buddy Brandon and his wife went there to discover that THEY STILL HAVE THE PLAGUE HERE!

Correct, Vixen.
I really wanted to see the Indian Cliff Dwellings...they always fascinated me as a little kid. But like I said, I have rethought the idea.
Last summer when Brandon and Jenny were out there, they turned to the local radio station for announcements from the park, not only were they the only people to be found ANYWHERE they drove in the park, but the radio broadcast kept replaying a warning to avoid the prarie dogs, squirrels and other critters because the outbreak of the plague was HIGH that week!
