Nice to find this thread. I just day-tripped to Gettysburg yesterday, and I'm terribly sorry that I didn't stay overnight and continue today. I doubt that I would've found a room- the place was a zoo and pretty much fully booked up, but I am confident that I could have found something within a half-hour drive.
It was my second time there, and I still haven't seen everything that I wanted to see. There was some kind of big re-enactment of Pickett's Charge, but it didn't take place on the orginial ground. There is a 're-enactment area' somewhere nearby that I haven't found yet.
Riley, one day I am determined to go to Gettysburg and one day I will.......*~*.
