Going to William Marvel's presentation at the Visitor Center tonight!

(also, anyone have good restaurant recs? We've stuck to Friendly's, KFC, Blue and Gray, and Appalachian Brewing Co for the last decade )

I'm partial to O'Rorke's personally. I recommend either the BBQ pulled pork or reuben.

Lincoln Diner is my favorite or the Dobbins Tavern (if I have the name right) but it will be incredibly crowded.

Picture of the replica of the Albemarle from Marvel's presentation tonight — think it got cut off a bit at the end because of time limits. I got his latest book signed, though!

Who did the tour tonight for the 69th? I had walked close to 5 miles and made it to the Irish Brigade monument. Unfortunately the walk started at the PA monument. I misread likely due to heat, no fluid and 5 mi of walking.

If you saw an extremely tall, long haired fella with a black undershirt or toward the end no shirt at all, that was me.

Morning talk: Redemption of the Harper's Ferry Cowards by Ranger Emeritus John Heisen — not as hot as yesterday but double the amount of walking!

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to attend this one, but I heard from a few different people that it was really good.

Morning tour: Culp's Hill by John Nicholas — over 200 people showed up! Walked all over the hill.

Anyone else doing Pickett's Charge today?

Man you're really making me regret not going this year!
Gettysburg Eddie's is a decent place to eat. Been a while though.

At Gettysburg Eddie's! It's pretty good!

Afternoon talk: Pickett's Charge with LBG Rob Abbott — relatively warm weather with a nice breeze!

Anybody else coming for the 162nd Anniversary? I'll be there all three days, and will definitely check out some of those Foundation talks as well!

I wish. My last visit was 2018. I want to bring my children to PA in 2026 for the 250th, so Gettysburg will be on the itinerary.
