    1. Forum name: Luggo, Name: Ray
    2. Age: 52 years old. Military history nut since I was 8
    3. Origins: Texas
    4. Historical Interest: ETO. Specifcally the Bulge and the 81st AA BN-101st ABN.
    5. Hobbies: Related to this, collecting M-1 Garands. Battlefield walks. Civil War and the ETO.
    6. Miscellaneous: Anything else you'd like to share with us? Trip planned late Feb 2020 to the Ardennes. Solo trip I have been wanting to do all of my life with no purpose other than to walk and drive the battlefield. Working on itinerary and plans. I have seen some of the popular museums before, and will go again to some, but the focus is finding specific locations and seeing the places I have only read about and walk that ground. Some I know for sure, Lanzerath, Longchamps Belgium, focusing on the 3 Jan '45 German counter-attack. The twin villages and Rollbahn A. More to be decided. Unsolicited advice is appreciated.
