    Hopped on the scooter and took a ride over to the Old North Bridge in Concord, Massachusetts.

    Here's the View looking down the road know as Battle Road, here, in New England.

    It's said that this is the very road that Paul Revere galloped down to warn the Colonists that "The British are coming!"

    That's so the Colonists can see the Brits coming out of that driveway.

    Nice piece Rick. Actually they were called "regulars" by the Acton Militia, also known as the Acton Minutemen which of course is now the Massachusetts National Guard. Captain Isaac Davis actually gave the men of Acton Militia the option to go home after the seven mile walk to Concord, nobody turned back, hence the famous quote "I haven't a man who is afraid to go".

    You are on or near Barretts Mill Rd near the Barrett Farm, where it is rumored that Colonel Barrett gave the Regulars the dope on possible munitions and ammo in the area, which is why the Regulars traveled there. The Minutemen saw scouts in the area, and got off of the road, walked 1/2 mile through the woods to wind up at the Old North Bridge.

    Captain Isaac Davis was the first man shot at the bridge, "the shot heard around the world".
