These sites should not be listed in a book. They are not like the fire towers or the 100 highest. Let people seek them if need be. It is like going to Civil War sites, Valley Forge or even small Red Bank Battlefield in NJ. When you go to these areas a feeling comes over one that is difficult to explain, which is like a connection. It joins past and present. If anything, it restores empathy in the soul.
The B18 located on the slopes of Mt. Waternomee in Woodstock is a fairly easy trek, though somewhat steep on the last portion. Many visit the site now, but are surprised with the few parts of the plane remaining. The Norden bomb sight was removed quickly due to its obvious importance. The paucity of remnants is owed to the fact that the military hauled away the biggest piece of the fuselage and local residents walked off with much of what remained. I found it to be a very somber place...
