Gettysburg

It was time to take our second weekend trip and since we love spending time in Gettysburg what better place to go camping. On this trip our son and his girlfriend joined us and although they used a tent to sleep in the Apex was roomy enough for us all to use it for everything else. We stayed at the Gettysburg Campground which was a very nice place and we will most likely stay there the next time we visit the area.

For us this trip was one of shopping downtown and visiting places on the battlefield we had not stopped at before. First stop was what is called the most famous bridge in PA. It is a covered bridge used by some Union forces on the way to Gettysburg and by the Confederate army as they retreated from there.

Another stop was a bridge that was built along Confederate Ave in the 1930's. Although it has nothing to do with the battle some of the stones they used had dinosaur fossils in them. Just a cool thing to see. BTW a quick tip if you go to Gettysburg anything named Ave was built by the parks dept. Anything named road was there during the war.

On our last morning there we check an item off the bucket list with a Horse Tour of the battlefield. If you go there and are looking for something special to do this might be the thing for you. It was a great experience and a view of the battlefield you don't get any other way.

Another one in the books but looking forward to our next adventure.
