Didn’t seem to be any construction at the Gettysburg Visitors’ Center. Went to the electric map room on Monday morning, there were seven people there.

Went to Spotsylvania on Wednesday; it was closed most of the day for repaving! Yes, the state of Virginia was repaving the parking lot on the Wednesday before the 4th of July! People were driving in from all over the country and being turned away.

Our government in action.

They’re building a new one south of the current visitor’s center. I guess it must be a bit further down the road. As you could see from the electric map room the park is way overdue to modernize it’s facilities.

My brother and I were working in western Maryland a few years ago and we decided to visit Gettysburg on the 4th of July. I think there may have been as many people there on that day as there were in 1863.

That should be some sort of felony. I am only half kidding.
