Saw this on youtube and thought it was interesting. Note how heavily wooded LRT is. sorry if this was already posted I searched before I did.
It's funny i thought it looked different at the angle. It also looked like the iron fence around the copse of trees isn't thereI remember when it looked like that! Thank you! Notice how the driver turned left from the sign and drove by with the Angle on the right? That was the beginning of the driving tour then;it started at the visitors center and the Angle was the first stop. Some of the first reenactors I ever saw were those park service rangers. (BTW, he's carrying a reproduction 1863 Remington contract rifle, the original almost certainly couldn't have been carried at Gettysburg. But they were the first reproduction long arm and very common in the 1970s.)
I think that is ok to do still. You cant climb up by General Warren that I knowLittle kid climbing on a cannon.....sumthin' I probably would've done. Bet you can't do that today!
