In my opinionated opinion a visit to Gettysburg should be on everybody's bucket list

I agree!
But don't come during the next several days as it will be a zoo in town & in the battlefields.
They expect 250,000 visitors during the 150th anniversary celebration which started a couple of days ago and will last through next weekend.

David, had a good time last August when you were here. Likewise last month when I gave another N54 member and his family the guided tour.
Its a great place to visit.

Thanks for the great pictures of Gettysburg Eddie's, Kawika. I really do have to get there soon to check it out. This isn't any kind of big trip, but I am also planning to make my first trip to Christy Mathewson Days in Factoryville in August.

Edited to add that it takes a real deadball fan to snap photos in the bathroom for our viewing enjoyment on here.

Say hi to the waitresses for me.

Getting up to Factoryville is on my bucket list. I had a plane to catch the next morning or I would have pushed on from Lewisburg. Hope you report back to 54 after you visit.

Good rule of thumb is to make sure no one else is in the men's room when snapping photos. One might be picking one's teeth off the floor otherwise.

One of my daughters graduated from Gettysburg College and we made many trips down there over the four years. I always had morning coffee on Little Round Top and near the high ground which the Union Army held during Pickett's Charge. Her dorm was the hospital building during the battle. It is near the Eddie Plank sign at the beginning of this thread, you can see the white painted building. Fantastic place to visit and think of what happened, but don't go there for awhile. Now if only I could find a reasonably priced T206 Plank.
