So disguise the cell tower as a tree, already!

The problem is that the Antietam battlefield is just a few miles from Interstate 70, and the cellular companies are so hungry for those roaming travel minutes they will do almost anything to get those highway towers up.

It would be more costly to set up multiple shorter repeaters that would not be visible from that distance - but every single tower site means a separate zoning fight.

(weary sigh) Damn, I am so sick of fighting this stuff. But you gotta do what you gotta do. (The battle-weary OTTB mare girds her loins and gets ready for more hearings and meetings.)

It doesn’t matter, our youth know so little and care so little about history that in a few decades there will be nobody to defend the battlefields and other historic places. Sorry to be such a downer, but that’s how I see it. I’m only 38, but I’ve already seen an erosion of historical knowledge and curiosity in my lifetime.

A sad note. My great-grandfather fought there with the 12th Corps in the Cornfield.

A cellular tower? On adjacent property??? We're doooooooooooooooooooooooooomed!

The officials were asked to provide feedback to a consultant, and Howard said he wrote that the tower would be a "major intrusion into the battlefield viewshed."

These people are awful.

Maryland "Freak State" PING!
