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.
Welcome Ray. I have done a couple solo trips to Europe without the family and always came back wanting to go back. Hope you get some great pictures and please make sure to share them and your experiences
