Traveling through to Gettysburg from Pine Grove Furnace we passed many fruit farms. The orchards are so pretty and the trees are full of fruit. As we passed through Gettysburg we saw the old buildings and train station. It took us a while to find the new visitor center but it was well worth it. The museum is very well conceived and I learnt so much about the three-day battle. We discovered an audio CD that you can play while driving through the battlefields. It was an excellent guide. It took us 5 hours to do the auto tour and even then we felt that we rushed it at times. The boys loved seeing Little Round Top (pic) and the field where Pickett’s charged took place. They completed another Junior Ranger Badge. It was nice to return to the tranquility of our camper in the woods. We are getting rain daily and nothing dries properly. I am glad we are off the ground and our sleeping bags stay dry.
