This radio station is supposed to inform a visitor of the battle\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s events as he or she drives around the battlefields.  Yet the station\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s signal is rather weak.  Often the tour guide\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s voice disappears into a chaos of interference when the road descends into a little gully or runs alongside a power line.  The experience is strange, poignant, and more profound than the dioramas housed in the park\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s museum.<br \/>\n<br clear=all><br \/>\n<audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-383-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.albumleaves.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/Albumleaf-84-1610-AM-Sailors-Creek-Virginia-May-14-2012-Farmville1.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.albumleaves.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/Albumleaf-84-1610-AM-Sailors-Creek-Virginia-May-14-2012-Farmville1.mp3\">http:\/\/www.albumleaves.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/Albumleaf-84-1610-AM-Sailors-Creek-Virginia-May-14-2012-Farmville1.mp3<\/a><\/audio><\/p>\n<p><br clear=all> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Albumleaf 84: May 14, 2012 (Farmville) There is too much history here in central Virginia to be preserved pristinely.
