Gettyburg Trip

October 27, 2008. Earlier this month Jane and I went to a scientific meeting that was held in a hotel/convention center near the Gettysburg Battlefield. We had visited Gettysburg several times over the years but it still is interesting coming and looking over the battlefield. The last morning of the meeting Jane and I did an early morning run through the battlefield. Beginning around 6:15 am at the High water mark we ran toward and over Little Roundtop, down to Devil's Den and continue through to the peach orchard. By the time we reached the Peach orchard the sun was coming-up over Little Roundtop leading to beautiful sunrise over the battlefield. We continued the run over to the Southern side and ran the last mile over the pastured ground that was Pickett's Charge back to the High water mark. Here are some other pictures I took during the previous day when we drove and hiked around the battlefield.
