Lee's army was in Pennsylvania for less than two weeks.

You want to back that whopper up? CS Cavalry was patrolling PA in May of 1863, 2 months before the first day.

The source I saw had Lee’s army crossing the Potomac on 24 June. Other sources may have other dates. Even if there were Confederates in Pennsylvania earlier one wouldn’t expect advance cavalry reconnaissance to do very much damage in any case.
