"We are met on a great battlefield..." (Lincoln)

Currently in PA
Leaving for Virginia tomorrow
Headed to North Carolina on October 19

One of the reasons we chose a campground in Holtwood, PA was to be close to Gettysburg National Park.


Although I had been there with Cate and Michael 20 years ago, so much has changed it was a new experience for me too.  The museum was wonderful!
Johnny recalled a school project he did on Gettysburg and appreciated being able to get a better understanding of the landscape.  We both particularly enjoyed the auto tour since you can see the actual site of the 3 day battle as well as all of the memorials.  This is a view from Little Round Top looking into the Valley of Death - right in the heart of all the action.


If you haven't had the opportunity to visit and you like history, I think it is one of the best National Parks in the system.
