Some friends from work are planning a ride to Gettysburgs. We will get there just before noon, have lunch (TBD) and spend the afternoon touring the battlefield.
Looking for suggestions on places to visit, tips/tricks/do's/don'ts. Only been there for a quick drive (caged) through and a stop at the Tower.

Stop at the tour center and rent/buy the tour tape/cd. It guidesyou through the whole tour at your own speed/pace...and tells you about each stop and what happened there. AND it's reusable! You can lend it to others, or use it the next time if you can't get everything in on your first visit.

You have the option of not joining the group ride but meeting for lunch and/or the Battlefield Tour. Let me know for coordination purposes.

Timing unfortunately, is bad for me this weekend, it would be great to meet in person, but I am curious about the tour. Is it on your bike? or in a bus?
