Hal Jespersen’s Travel Page (Military Subset)

I have taken a number of trips unrelated to the Civil War, usually with my wife Nancy, but this page points to the subset of those trips that are military related, which Nancy did not attend. The title of the trips below are the links to the travelogue pages. The photos are also links to those pages. To see the full list of all my non-Civil War travel, click the Travel menu item at the top of this page. If you are interested in my Civil War travelogues, click the Civil War menu item above.
