 Clues for the Brogan and Lint/Bandages artifacts will take participants on a loop that returns you to your vehicle. If you do not find this artifact before the Lint/Bandages one, you may be confused or lost.
 Start at the Maryland Monument near the Taneytown Road entrance to the National Cemetery parking lot.
 Walk south – away from town – along the walkway and past the Delaware Monument.
 Continue until you reach a small white house – the Leister Farm – that was used as General Meade’s Headquarters during the Battle of Gettysburg in 1863.
 Continue along the green walkway to the right and up the hill.
 As you approach the top of the hill, you will see the monument of General Meade on his horse. Continue along the walkway as it curves in front of this statue.
 Pass several cannons and caissons, and carefully cross the roadway when the sidewalk ends.
 Once you cross the road, you will find four wayside panel displays explaining a significant moment in the Battle of Gettysburg. The artifact you seek is attached to the leg of one of these displays.
 NOTE: To complete your trek, use the directions for the Lint/Bandages artifact.
