Got up today to rain,did that stop us? Of course not we had lots more of Gettysbug battlefield to see...and we had the park to ourselves for the first couple of hours and then the West Point bus showed up followed by tourists,not raining as hard by now.
We had done the Culp's Hill part of day two's battle yesterday so we started by going to the starting points for Longstreet's corp. From there we followed the route to Little Round Top. What an overlook of the battlefield. Then we went thru Devil's Den, the Wheatfield and peach orchard.
After that we went to the bloody angle where Pickett's charge got accross the wall on day three. After discussing it we drove back to the confederate side and I let Marsden off at the VA monument and she walked Pickett's attack route and I met her at the bloody angle. We then finished our tour with a visit to the cemetary.
Had lunch and did laundry, the rain has stoped and we are now ready to leave in the morning. We are going to head nw to Altoona so Marsden can see some train stuff.
