All,

Spend three days last weekend at Gettysburg Battlefield with the Grand Opening of the new museum. Very nice.. I am sure glad it stayed with the Feds hands. It is a memorial and not a tourist trap. Sure it still has its bookstore but done in good taste. The theater is all new with a bigger map than before and more interesting devices on the map. They had Millions of lazy Susan

Thanks for letting us know it is now open. I am going to be camping near Gettysburg on Columbus Day weekend. I am planning on going to the new memorial.

Stopped on the way to the Eastern Ralley. The new visitors center is very nice.

We had the 2004 Eastern Ralley at Drummer Boy. It was a nice campground.

That's interesting. On another forum Drummer Boy received a lot of less than rave reviews, to put it nicely. Seems it has recently come under corporate management. The reason I'm interested is that DW and I are talking about taking a Civil War camping tour in the next couple of years, probably starting at Gettysburg, so we are interested in nearby campgrounds.
