    My one and only camping trip to Gettysburg was probably in the late 70's. Rented a tent camper, borrowed my in-law's car to tow it and spent a week with a river behind us. Lots of rain, camper totally damp, 2 kids with us and wifey didn't like it at all! Trip back home was memorable. Short on cash we filled the tank and it was on empty when we made it back home. didn't think we would make it. Camping is always an experience and always memorable. That's what makes it fun! Belated happy anniversary!

    While doing tactical studies in the Marine Corps in 1991, we read The Killer Angels by Michael Shaara before visiting Gettysburg. It was amazing to walk the grounds and imagine the tactical excursions taking place in 1863. The images formed in my mind from reading the book were as clear as if it happened just a few days before. It’s an epic place to learn a little bit about piece of American history. 👍

    Enjoyed your video. We were visiting family in PA, and made a side trip to Gettysburg Battle Field, wow on so many levels. Got the history bug, looking at the map on the trip back to Texas we were immediately drawn to looping through several Civil War Battlefields including Antietam in MD, Harpers Ferry, drove through most of Shenandoah National Park, stops at Shiloh in Tn, and Vicksburg in Ms. These are amazing national parks/battlefields that immediately draw you into the incredible history and magnitude of it all; I didn't begin to appreciate until visiting. If traveling in these areas it is well worth even driving through these battle grounds if pressed for time, each have excellent visitor centers, and most of the battle areas appear as they did at the time.

    The Rockies are higher, the Appalachians are steeper. The east side of the country was a much bigger impediment to moving west than the Rockies. I have been to Gettysburg, but many, many moons ago, maybe before Lynn was born, it was somewhere pre-1972 as I recall. The thing that amazed me about the Civil War was how many battles were fought within 100 miles or so of Washington D,C.

    I was somewhat surprised that during the week the Gettysburg park was almost empty. You are right about those grades and curves. I have driven straight through from Chicago twice and no one excepts them. My last time at the park was 2013 for the 150th anniversary… crowds everywhere but they kept the traffic moving. The visitor center was quite an upgrade. Glad your return was successful!

    We went to Gettysburg Columbus Day weekend in 2019. Unfortunately, I waited to the last minute to find a campground and ended up 1 hour way. So we only spent one day in the park but made the best of it by hiring a private guide. We had a 3 hour guided tour by a very knowledgeable person. I only wish we had done a 6 hour tour, it was so fascinating and worth every penny. We would like to go back another time and stay locally.

    We visited Gettysburg about 4 years ago, went to the visitors center and battlefields, I really didn't want to go but our friends wanted too, I was never a civil war buff but we watched the film at the welcome center and then went through the battlefields, I have to say I was moved by the hole experience, the loss of life is overwhelming. On another note I thought PA had some of the worst interstate that I have every drove on, if it wasn't loose in the motorhome when we went it was by the time we got back. Lol.

    We went to Gettysburg for our 1 year anniversary. I think I know who Mike was texting at the campfire. 😎
