My Gettysburg Boy Scout trip August 29, 2014, 07:55:07 AM Last weekend we did a 4 day camping trip and 7 mile hike around the battlefield. It was a sobering reminder that freedom isn't free. I am still absorbing the cost of that battle.......nearly 8,000 men killed in 3 days of hard fighting. For those who have not seen or experienced this place, it is a true national treasure. It is the most amazing, well kept place run by our government that i have ever seen. Here are some photos..... Quote Selected
My Gettysburg Boy Scout trip Reply #1 – August 29, 2014, 08:58:00 AM Went there when I was a teenager on family vacation (1994-ish). It was awesome then and as a history buff, I'm sure I'd appreciate it even more as an adult. Great pictures! Quote Selected
My Gettysburg Boy Scout trip Reply #2 – September 01, 2014, 08:20:36 PM Gettysburg is an excellent destination for a Boy Scout trip. Looks like you had great weather for it. I live about an hour from Gettysburg and need to go through the battlefield tour again as it has been a number of years since I have done so. It is sobering what took place there. Quote Selected
