Went back to Gettysburg again and took the double decker tourist bus this time. Here are a couple of pics.


I wanted to take the cannon home except the damn thing is anchored.

I have resided in the area for years and have made numerous trips to Gettysburg. I have never even come close to seeing the entire battlefield or learning new things. This round while on the tour bus the guide pointed out a cannon ball that had lodged in the stone of a house just off the main square.

One thing though, the new visitors center is nice but much was lost in the new displays. People were complaining about how hard the displays and museum area were to navigate through.

If you go to the area there is a military museum on the same road to the new vistors center that is cool to go through.

If you want to truly get the most out a trip there to the battlefield. Get out of the car and walk the fields anything that is not private property you can walk lots of great monuments you cant see from the roads hidden away and you can see how the terrain played into why things happened during those 3 days.
