There is a place called Caledonia State Park in between Chambersburg and Gettysburg that is very special to me. Incredibly nice place. The brooks that run through those mountains call your name!
Here's a Deer Hunter story. While playing at soldier I occasionally pissed my paycheck down the tubes at a place called the Monomatopa Hotel.
Everybody had to check out the stain on the wall in one of the booths - seems a guy from an outfit we called the 'Donkey Walloppers' (horse mounted infantry) had seen the Deer Hunter and decided to try his hand at Russian Roulette.
Need I say he'd had a few drinks? He only put one bullet in the magazine of his nine mil automatic pistol.
it held fourteen so I guess the poor fellow thought the odds were on his side. I guess his luck wasn't running that night - the stain on the wall in that booth was from his brains - blew them out right there. 
Note to self: don't play Russian Roulette with an auto pistol!
