Battlefield

What a great day today. Relaxed in the morning had a good breakfast then a drive around the Battlefield. I'mnot a history person but it was really nice to learn some things today. Drove thru the battlefield for about two hrs. It's huge and we didn't see it all. First stop was a tower about 7 storeis high.Larry was the only one who attempted it.

He had to take a break half way up

but he made it to the top

Bill doesn't like heights and it was a little too windy and chilly for me and Diane.

Stopped a few places to read. There are way to many signs to read them all unless you want to spend a couple of days and take the walking tour. The Scenery was fabulous. Stopped at Little Round Horn and I climbed on the rocks for a bit.

I went up to the top and took some pictures. I didn't read the plaque so I have no idea what this was. 😅 The view was great.

Climbed to the top while video chatting with Karen and Sadie on the phone so I gave Them a nice view of Gettysburg. Wish Sadie was older so she could have enjoyed it. Karen enjoyed it.

Went to the National Cemetery and learned that there was more New York soldiers that fought and died than any other states. There was a funeral earlier in the day for a 98 yr old vet that was buried on top of his wife.

The Gettysburg Address was only 300 yds from the cemetery

It was a very interesting day.
Went to Gettysburg Eddies for a late lunch early dinner. Bill and I have been here before always good food. Eddie apparently was a famous baseball player. Didn't really care enough to find out the facts. Don't like baseball. But the restaurant is all pics of baseball and lot of memorabelia.
Back at the capmers we decided against a fire again too breezy so Mexican train it is. I was exhausted from all the fresh air and walking I just crashed on the couch for awhile. Found out later we were all exhausted and took naps.
A nice evening of Mexican train and off to bed.
Hope you enjoyed our day as much as we did.

Have a great day
