A couple of years ago I read an article that estimated the number of persons attending the 150th anniversary of the battle to be as high as 2 million over 3 days.

I wonder if there will be near that visitation?

we’re going and it is impossible to find a place to sleep and get involved.

Will the left try to ban confederate flags on this as it would nto surprise me at all with their insane agenda and views

Gettysburg is not an easy place to visit for all of the crowds during a normal summer day. We've been three times, doing a day of the battle each time.

November was very mellow with lots of time to talk and learn from the reenactors.

May was nice, but the crowds were just beginning to thicken.

July, we'll never do again because the crowds, though generally well behaved, were just too thick to get that feeling of hallowed ground we had so enjoyed in our two previous visits. The cyclorama, which had just returned, was especially difficult to fully appreciate the way crowds were being moved in and out.
