I always enjoyed going to Gettysburg. My favorite time of the year was during the winter months because I had the park to myself.
Mr. Mercat and I rode our bicycles backwards (in the park not on the bikes... lol) through the park in late October. It was not deserted then. Evidently they get a spike of visitors in late October because of Halloween. Who knew. We enjoyed a re-enactment and the volunteers who were there to tell us about the park, especially on Little Round Top. We went there twice, once we rode our bikes and once we walked from our campground. I’m glad that they don’t allow new monuments but glad that the old ones are there. I want to go back and hit specific places that I feel we slighted. I also want to go to Meade’s headquarters again... the little farmhouse. For some reason that really touched me... and then, there it was in the movie.
