Done with Gettysburg.
We road the auto tour through Gettysburg National Military Park. But first I made Steve get up early so we could get breakfast and be out of the hotel before all the other tourists.
I wanted to get to the visitors center before 9am to take the first shuttle to President Eisenhower's farm -- success, we did made it to the first shuttle.
Pretty interesting but not too old. Looks like a house from 1950's. The property (500 acres) is owned by the National Park Service but some of the fields and cattle barns are rented out to a local farmer with the agreement that he farm it exactly as it was.
Back in the visitor's center we saw, guns, canons, amo, and relics.
The auto tour was interesting but there are ALOT of monuments, statues and signs to read. Passed fields where actual battles occured, still standing houses and barns.
Some of the tour goes through the town of Gettysburg, right through residential areas, downtown and past historic homes and buildings.
To my friends who know how much I "love" round-a-bouts over the last two days, I've done three of them! Ok, I have to admit, they are wider and better marked than the ones by us and the people know how to use them the right way so, not so bad.
The weather was hotter today, over cast and just a couple of sprinkles.
I did get a sun burn.
Went to two Harley dealers. Battlefield Harley was pretty neat. And the other is in York.
Tomorrow we are going to tour the Harley Davidson manufaturing plant.
When we where in the parking lot of the visitors center we meet three other riders from Indiana (South Bend) and one was a woman :o)
Now, sitting in our hotel room and glad that it has a working laundry room!
